NJDevils1214 Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 21 minutes ago, LittleBallofHate said: Interesting reason why we have so many afternoon games this year - quotes are Hugh Weber: "We happen to be one that we've been in front of the league the last five years saying 'hey, use us any way you can'. "This is a pretty amazing opportunity for us and also for our players to get out and engage with these fans that will be watching a lot of the Devils family over the season." So keen are the Devils to tap into the European market that they have scheduled a franchise-record 12 afternoon home games this season, all of which Weber said will be broadcast live at primetime in Europe. https://sports.yahoo.com/nhl-devils-hope-european-road-trip-paves-road-130342573--nhl.html Met a guy in the UK once that said he loved hockey and football. He was a Montreal fan but he was super excited just to see a hockey fan at all he thought I was awesome. He said the games were on really late and when the lockout hit he just never got back into it.

LittleBallofHate Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 More cuts: @NJDevils The #NJDevils have assigned defenseman Ty Smith to his junior team in Spokane (WHL). In addition, the club has assigned forwards Kevin Rooney and Brett Seney to Binghamton (AHL). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll definitely fight for a spot next year. Can't wait to follow his progression in junior and watch him at the WJC. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sundstrom Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 re: Quenneville (guess i will now have to learn how to spell his name correctly), i know that i'm likely the only one that cares about such things but, since he's made the team, man do i hope he switches to 17. wouldn't mind getting that number back in the rotation for someone that might actually do something. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You also "know" a French Devs fan who struggle since 1998 to follow NHL and his Devils team and who is ecstatic about this schedule... He knows that he will be able to sleep better next season! I guess I should thanks the little Swiss guy who isn't too bad as a player... ... Oh... Yeah, I was talking about me btw! : ) 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a UK fan I'm used to watching games that start at midnight but the afternoon games mean I can watch with my daughter who loves hockey which is great news. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't see the Calgary Flames wearing throwback Atlanta Flames jerseys. Or the Coyotes wearing Winnipeg Jets for 3rds. Just seems stupid to me, and kind of a slap at your own fanbase and current hometown. I'm actually pretty shocked the NHL would want and/or allow this. Does it happen in other sports? I don't recall the Nationals wearing Expos sh!t. This. I never want to see the Devils wear Rockies or Scouts jerseys. Those teams weren't my team and the Devils only exist because those failed. Thanks for the team but we don't need to pay homage to that sh!t. It's bad enough we paid homage to them with the new jerseys.

Seemed like they were trying to address a demand that didn't exist, but my theory on that will always remain the same: some corporate out-of-touch dipsh!ts saw some fans wearing Scouts and Rockies gear during games (though for any given game, it's a fraction of a percent of those who actually do that...there's far more Devils fans who couldn't tell you the first thing about the Scouts and Rockies), waaaaaaay overestimated fan interest in those iterations, and thought wouldn't it be so clever to incorporate elements of those jerseys, at the expense of introducing an inferior design to the outgoing Edges. It could've been much worse though...thank whoever that someone put the kebosh on the Bingo Devils crest being the NJ Devils crest. That would've been a disaster of Buffaslug and Fishsticks proportions. As long as the classic NJ crest remains untouched, I can tolerate a hell of lot. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not entirely sure that they actually did that. I think they redesigned the jerseys and then tried to make up a story to justify it. I don’t look at the New Jersey’s and think they are reminiscent of the Rockies or the Scouts, nor the Bulldogs. If they never said it, I wouldn’t have thought it at all.

The Bulldog hem was especially forced. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stafford can be plugged in anywhere, on all 4 lines. (although likely) someone else would move up to play on 2nd like) . And he's a righty, where we lack depth. I think they keep 7 D 14 FW's in total? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Gorton’s Fisherman laughs at the Bing Devils’ logo, that thing is horrendously pathetic. Hell even little league teams would be embarrassed to wear that as a primary logo. I really hope one day we find out it was a Make-a-wish kid’s dream to design a logo, the organization said absolutely, we hooked them up for a few years (NHL video game style), instead of some idiot who makes an absurd amount of money saying “this looks good, hell it should be the big teams new logo!” 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
