Weekes Head Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 Event was nicely done. I was in with Richer, McKay, Chico, Driver, and Dano. I got to announce McKay out into the room which was awesome. I'll follow with pics later... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadDog2020 Posted January 7, 2017 Author Share Posted January 7, 2017 Word through the grapevine is that the Devils Den will have little if anything for merchandise for McMullen night. Not even sure if the patches will be available for retail sale. Could be completely wrong, but I have heard more than 1 person say this to me. These fvckers never learn. They. Never. Learn.

Weekes Head Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 Disappointed in the lack of merch available for sale. They definitely dropped the ball. Buuut....the poster is really nice. I have an extra if anyone wants it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people feel they are just special and above the rules. Amazing. 1 minute ago, Weekes Head said: Disappointed in the lack of merch available for sale. They definitely dropped the ball.

It was a lot of fun getting to announce one of my all time favorite players! I only saw the poster too. They gave me an extra pin when I exited the event and into the arena. Really was hoping for a patch. 6 months from now I'm sure the Den will be stocked. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colorado Rockies 1976 Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 Nice ceremony. Love that the fonts were 100% accurate on the alumni jerseys. Nice to see Patrik too. And that "RockyDevils" McMullen logo really fit in perfectly. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satans Hockey Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 The banner looks awesome. I really forgot how much I missed the white jerseys at home. Just looks perfect to me. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that "RockyDevils" McMullen logo really fit in perfectly. It was beautifully done, and a great tribute to Dr. McMullen. Great to see some of the old dogs like McKay, Richer, Pep, Shanny, Driver, and Chico. I'll just say it looks Sergei Starikov looks like he maaaay have put on a few pounds since his playing days lol. One question I have: is that the permanent location for the McMullen banner/picture? I'm trying to picture how this Ring of Honor is gonna look in five or ten years once a few names have gone in. I can't imagine old players are all gonna have a banner type of thing like McMullen got or what Lou will have. Anyone have any thoughts?

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk It's definitely permanent for awhile at least because it's not just a banner / picture. I can't think of the right word right now but the lettering on it is actually like painted wood panels that are attached to the wall. I'll take some up close pictures tonight and post them here. The only thing I can see them doing is maybe putting up a banner with the names like the Flyers do and keeping 103 as the designated spot for the ring of honor inductee for that year before removing it at the end of the season and placing the name on a banner. So like next season Lou will be in the 103 spot then his name added to the banner after that season, etc etc. Edited January 7, 2017 by Satans Hockey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They may just leave this as is with McMullen and create something else for players. Their marketing efforts are so poor and I thought they hired a marketing guru. To think they didn't take advantage of the this event is sickening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They definitely blew their chances on that. I just don't get it... They would've sold a lot of patches and a lot of shirts with the logo. Pucks, you name it. It's a missed opportunity. I don't understand a business willfully passing on an opportunity to make money. I mean are production and inventory costs THAT high?

Satans Hockey Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 (edited) As you can see its not actually a banner, it extends off the wall. The lighting is tough so the pictures aren't the best.

I will be checking in but watching football. Hope you get to see a good game with a Devils win. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thelastonealive Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 I imagine they'll do the rest of that end of the arena (six more panels), then maybe above the 200s. Sure looks like it's meant to be permanent based on SH's photos (great shots btw). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
