Onddeck Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 It seems to me like I may have written this on these boards before, but anyway: My wife and I are originally from NC, and every Christmas we go down there to visit for the holidays. A couple years ago when we were waiting for our return flight in Raleigh, Chico and one of the TV production guys were trying to get standby seats on the same plane. We chatted with them for maybe 15 or 20 minutes. Chico was, as everyone always says, just as warm and friendly as he could be. It was like talking with an old friend. (The production guy seemed like a totally regular Joe, too.) We all crossed paths again when we were deboarding in Newark, shook hands, and said goodbye. Flash forward to last season, and I was milling around in the Season Ticket area in Championship Plaza before one of our games when I turned around and found myself face-to-face with him. I shook his hand and said, "I don't know if you remember, but we met in airport..." and he chimed right in and said, "...in Raleigh, yeah, you and your wife! Good to see you again!" I realize our encounter in Raleigh probably lasted longer than most of his interaction with fans, but he obviously must meet an awful lot of people. I was pretty amazed that he remembered me. that really is amazing. such respect for the fan base, what a great guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
95Crash Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Woo-hoo, scored free tickets to tonight's game! I'll be rocking my Resch throwback jersey, for sure. Chico was my first favorite Devils player. I remember getting off the ice from a hockey clinic at the old Ice House in Totowa where the Devs used to hold their practices. That night, the Devs were holding their family Christmas party. As I was getting changed, I looked out and saw Chico skating with his kid on the ice. He looked over and saw me peering at him through the glass and so I waved at him and he waved back with a smile. It really made my day. I've since met him in person and had my pic taken with him, but I'll always remember that first little moment years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadDog2020 Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 @TGfireandice: DeBoer on why Larsson is sitting: "We're putting the best lineup on the ice to win tonight." Pete gonna Pete... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobilly45 Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Dan Rosen @drosennhl 20s20 seconds ago I asked Pete DeBoer how to shutdown or counter Dallas when Benn, Spezza, Seguin are out together. His answer: "I don't know. Got any ideas." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJ Eco Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Oh man, that's Tortorella level. And the press generally likes DeBoer (A LOT). Don't like that answer one bit, even if it was tongue-in-cheek, doesn't sound like something he'd say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know, but that's a pretty weak thing to say. Edited October 24, 2014 by Devs3cups Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Satans Hockey Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 (edited) Looked like gogoliski for Dallas got hurt in warm-ups. It was 23 or 33 I believe. Not exactly sure what happened but he left the ice in pain. Looked like maybe a puck to the face? Anyone else see it better than me?

Satans Hockey Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Unless everyone gets to their seat quickly, Chico is going to have his ceremony in front of a barely half filled arena. Chico deserves better than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
