DJ Eco Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 (edited) 1 hour ago, DevsMan84 said: If you are making a parallel to KK this is different. I don't think even the idiots in our toxic fanbase will go after PK if he has say a rough 5-10 game stretch. He is an established world-class talent who is still largely in his prime. KK is a backup who got more minutes than he deserved and was putting up numbers that even most backups in the league would be embarrassed about yet was still clowning around on social media. I remember Kovalchuk being top 5 in points leaguewide and people booing him still, even right into the playoffs, that's more my frame of reference in this case. Devils fans are still largely not used to a BIG name BIG money player on our team like that, and it sets a few screws loose in our fanbase.

And, I will add, if he's putting a good product on the ice, I'm willing to tolerate a whole lot of off-ice antics. I am expecting good things from him and I hope I am not disappointed. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it's all talk for now, but it really is a great attitude. The dude is coming from a perennial contender to somewhat of a questionable (but promising) situation, and he's not coming here of his own volition either. And he just has such a positive, excellent attitude. Great for the locker room and setting an example for the younger guys. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RunninWithTheDevil Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 My buddy was working the event at the W Hotel in Hoboken welcoming PK to NJ. He said energy was great, him and LV had a great time, and Daneyko gave a short speech and presented him with some kind of jacket 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although it’s a near guarantee he’s gonna say “Pee-Key” a few dozen times. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was booed when he took a shootout attempt the year they missed the playoffs and he didn’t even get a shot off; which culminated an absolutely abhorrent start to the season for himself and for the team. He was adored and cheered for the entirety of the next season. I didn’t boo him until I figuratively booed him every day since he “retired”. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hoping for a similar feeling opening night. And yeah that booing he got on that shootout miss was at the height of frustration. I'm not sure if it was the same game, but during that terrible start the team had a game where they got outshot 20 something to 4 in the first period and got booed off the ice. Kovy wasn't getting booed when things were going well 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJ Eco Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 Really looking forward to a magnetic person like P.K. making the local sports media take the New Jersey Devils seriously. Just picturing him on local sports radio or some of the nighttime talk shows, and I know he's going to be an amazing ambassador, something we sorely need. Make the Devils cool again! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I’m sure a guy who is so fashion conscious like PK was SO excited to have to put it on. It has a fight strap from a jersey hanging off the front lol.
