RunninWithTheDevil Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 22 hours ago, Colorado Rockies 1976 said: Yeah those seats are a lot of fun, though obviously the better "see it all" views are from higher up. What I love about the lower seats is being able to see and feel the sheer SPEED of the game. Some of these guys can really friggin' fly. My daughter thought Burns was plenty scary...if he has kids, I'm pretty sure they never EVER do anything wrong in his presence. I'm 48 and I'm pretty sure I wouldn't do anything wrong in his presence either. My daughter thinks the Ric Flair stuff is hilarious. I love when he throws in mini "woos" in mid-sentence. Like DM84 alluded to (I was never into wrestling, but my younger brother was), I think RF is probably more endearing now than he ever was in his heyday. One thing that's really changed in the last 7-8 years or so is a lot of the Devils vids that are played before the game and during stoppages/intermissions are actually quite funny and clever. A lot of the older stuff (especially the CAA days) felt kind of cringeworthy, almost a little embarrassing to watch. It really feels like the Devils afford their fans a first-class experience at the arena, in almost every way (I would say the lone exception would be the condition of the bathrooms). Lots of bells and whistles now, and in a good way. Nothing beats the James Gandolfini crowd pump up as Tony Soprano, I wish they still played that one 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why are they playing THAT?" Just as I was thinking that, the clip turned into a montage of Rocky getting the absolute piss whaled out of him by Apollo, Mr. T, Drago...it was friggin' hysterical, and absolutely killer editing. That's a clip I would LOVE to see played every time the Devils take on the Flyers. That whole thing made me laugh harder than any other vid played on the center screen during a Devils game. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know exactly which Rocky clip you mean and I believe they still do that when Philly plays us at the Rock. The entire second half of the clip all you see if Rocky getting battered beyond recognition. That's def in the top 5 clips they have ever done. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just made me realize how long it's been since I've seen a Devils-Flyers game at the Rock...too long. Gotta rectify that this season...

Haha yeah it's been a while too but I do remember seeing that clip multiple times. I think it ends with the scene where Rocky falls flat on his face after getting destroyed by Clubber Lang in their first match in Rocky III.

Dude is a pirate 24/7, 365. Yeah not even going to try to dispute the bolded, heh heh...he'd be fearsome as hell back in the real pirate days too, given his height. Admittedly I would feel a little uncomfortable showing up at Disney like that at first (I was never comfortable with dressing up in costumes, even on Halloween as a kid), but if my daughter really wanted me to do it, I would absolutely get over myself for her benefit.

Hard to believe it's the same dude. This Burns would probably run like hell from the 2018 Burns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh I'm not suggesting otherwise...the issue is me. Certain things have always made me feel very awkward and not comfortable in my own skin. Tops on that list is dancing of any kind, heh heh. Only cure seems to be copious amounts of alcohol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
