But it's amazing how quickly you find yourself finding other things to do when something's taken away from you. I will admit I was pretty much out of the loop during the 2005 lockout. I was also in the middle of college and that was a pretty busy time in my life as well so I was distracted. While I watched Devils games in the 05-06, 06-07 and 07-08 seasons, it took me until the 08-09 to get back to the same level of enthusiasm as I did prior to the lockout. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colorado Rockies 1976 Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 (edited) For some reason, the last one in 2012 pissed me off even more...to the point where I didn't even want to hang out in my basement much, because even seeing all of my Devils stuff would just aggravate me. I'm tired of looking up certain players' numbers and seeing 48 GP played in 1995, NO GAMES played in 2004-05, and 48 GP in 2013. It's sad that some players in the thick of their primes lost a whole fvcking season to this crap. Sad and incredibly frustrating.

I remember being glues to twitter in 2012 to see what the latest was on the lockout. It took a stupid mediator to actually get things done; and it was the second or third time the mediator was asked to step in to boot. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It took a stupid mediator to actually get things done; and it was the second or third time the mediator was asked to step in to boot. I really thought they were going to lose another full season. I gotta admit it, if that had happened, I think I might have been done...at the very least, it would've taken me far longer to come back. I was much angrier in 2012...I think mostly because I understood that maybe something drastic needed to happen that first time in 2004-05. But all I could think was "You fvckers are here AGAIN?! Millionaires vs billionaires? I don't care who's wrong or right...just fvck all of you!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're playing a game for a living and making millions off it.....its entertainment. Yes they love the game,but love the $ more. The reality is they dont hurt the owners or the players when they lockout in the long term....its the refs, stadium workers, team workers, and everyone who makes a living working for the game who suffers and are out of a check for however long it takes to get back. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hrasvalg Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 11 hours ago, NJDevils1214 said: I remember reading somewhere, I can't remember where and I can't verify it, that EK was holding up the whole thing by refusing to sign an extension because he wanted to see if his family liked it where ever he was traded before he commit to a long term deal. Looking at it now, especially since he didn't sign an extension with the Sharks, it makes sense that it could have been true. It still probably would have been better for Ottawa to have gotten the deal done sooner than later. Either way, July 2019 may have just gotten a lot more exciting. Yea that's true, he said in swedish newspaper that he was going to live in San Jose and see if he likes it before signing a new contract. He don't want to move to a city that he and his girlfriend don't like Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LittleBallofHate Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 Running around today (sorry if someone already posted this quote) - Ray lookin to make a move? : Corey Masisak of The Athletic: New Jersey Devils GM Ray Shero when asked about any trade talks. “There’s always a lot after free agency, but then it really died down, which tends to be the case. Now there is maybe a little bit, but it really is probably another two weeks because then teams have exhibition games and get to see some younger players or maybe some injuries pop up, some younger player jumps up and makes another player expendable. We have to get the preseason going here first for much of that to happen. If that’s the case, we’re in a position to try and improve our team if that comes around. You never know, it could be tomorrow. It takes a couple weeks, 10 days for teams to really get their exhibition games going and make some roster decisions, some cuts. So we’ll see what happens.” 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
