Also if you're coming to the game tonight, it's the food drive. Anything over 4 items gets you a free voucher for 2 tickets to a future game. I still think it should be a minimum of 10 items like it used to be but bring as much as you can. 

Here is what they need most...

What are we, 0-17 in our retro jerseys?  You'd think we would indeed have to win in them eventually, but we've said that the last 16 times, so...I'm not really sure it'll happen tonight.  Hope it does though.

Let's Go Devils.  Play the way you did last week against these guys, and we can win again.

I don't know the record but it isn't good, we might have a win or 2 in the retro reds but I know for a fact we have never won in the retro whites lol

That's a shame about the record, I love the white retros. I always prefer the white Devils jerseys and I wish they were still our home ones.

I like the white retros too...a lot (wasn't much of a fan of the red Edge retros).  I have Bratt's GW retro from last year and will later have Palms' GW retro from this season.  Really wish they would start winning in them.

Also agree on whites at home and colors on the road...if nothing more than to not see white jerseys for the away teams almost every game.  Would be nice to see more of a variety of colors.

And if we ever get another uni redesign, I would be fine with the current white retros as a template for the home unis, but with the green swapped out for black...and the away unis to be red and black, but with the shoulder yoke to have the same layout as the old away red and greens.  The rest of the red unis would have the same layout as the 80s oldies, save for that "extra" white stripe on the sleeves that's supposed to be a border, but looks more like an extra white stripe that shouldn't be there...that stripe would be eliminated.  Those jerseys would be a nice combo of Sandow/CCM and Edges...and would get rid of those ham-fisted homages to the Scouts, Rockies, and Newark Bulldogs (?!) that almost no one gives a fvck about.

Elias scored an OT goal once in our retros. He wore the Irish hat when he came out as the # 1 star!

LGD! 

Nice touch that we are wearing the retros that Lou hated so much with Lou in the building. And with someone wearing 13 to boot. 

And the "high" numbers of course (though as we saw, Lou would make exceptions for certain players, so I'm sure Subban's 76 would've been OK with him...numbers like Bratt's 63, Boqvist's 90 and Gusev's 97, probably not).  

Nichols wanted to wear #98 when he was dealt here...Lou told him no.

Just imagine Hughes coming in as a rookie asking Lou for 86 haha

Probably would've offered Hughes 43...the offer being "You either take 43 or I give you some other number that you will have zero say in."  Yeah gotta think Lou would've shot down 86.
