Mix in a couple guys a little higher than that, and a couple guys a little lower at some bargain prices, and I don't think they'll have as hard of a time getting under the cap and some people are making it seem.

Apparently he's struggled with very serious depression for a long time. He talked about it not too long ago I believe. I actually figured that is what it could be. I only finally met him a few years ago, but he just looked like he didn't want to be there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He talked about wanting to end his life just days after the Devils won the Cup in 1995. There's a really good article somewhere about what he went through in trying to deal with it all.

Yeah I guess that helps to explain his demeanor. Depression is a bitch, and it’s very serious so I sincerely hope Steph got help and is doing better. When I met Richer, I was 14 years old. He signed an autograph for a friend of mine, and as he was finishing up, I told him he was my mom’s favorite player (he was, my mom loved Richer), and asked him politely if he’d sign my pennant. He looked at me like I was an alien and walked away lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleBallofHate Posted August 7, 2018 Author Share Posted August 7, 2018 Yeah there's a bunch of old articles out there where he talks about his battle with depression. If anyone's interested, here's one from 5-ish years ago & he talks about NJ a bit: https://www.nj.com/devils/index.ssf/2013/04/ex-devils_winger_stephane_rich.html 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I follow Canes on twitter, and they had fans vote for goal song.(in process) They had 8 choices, when you clicked on one it simulated the call, the Woo Woo than the goal song would start. I voted for Nirvana song, but 2 or 3 were brutal choices. the Nirvana song (lithium) actually works pretty well. I don't know what devils goal song is anymore. I don't want to pick that scab.

I get why they don't want to use it I guess, although its pretty disturbing that anyone would think that using that song (and paying a pervert royalties) would in any way suggest that the Devils support child pornography.

It's more just trying to not support the guy, via royalties, because he's a scumbag. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Between college football, to soccer, to you name it, you hear it all the damn time, even the remix they used still over done, IMO 32 minutes ago, NJDevils1214 said: I really dislike Seventh Nation Army.

mfitz804 Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 And they didn't want him to get royalties because he's a pedophile. Like I said, I understand that in today's world, they have to do that. If they didn't, people would be outraged and would accuse them of supporting a pedophile. I didn't mean to suggest that anyone would think the Devils were also a bunch of pedophiles or they like the idea of pedophilia. In actuality, its just a fvcking song and it doesn't really matter in the grand scheme of things. Either way, I suppose. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It builds nicely for use in-between puck drops, but it's not good for a goal song. I'd suggest that those musicians of us here should try to write one, but I don't know anything that rhymes with Flyers Swallow. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Devils brass feels the goal song thing leave well enough alone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mfitz804 Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 I had a full on dream about hockey last night, Nick Lappin was pulled down on a partial breakaway. Puck went in, but possibly after the whistle. They were trying to determine if it was a goal, or a penalty shot, and then ALARM CLOCK!!!!! Now I’ll never know. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
