Nicomo Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 Has anyone ever sent in a jersey to EPS just to add a letter? I can’t find the pricing for anything except stripping and full customizing... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJDfan1711 Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 Well deserved and happy for Nico. Looking forward to seeing him wear it for many years to come. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or try calling them and asking, their number is on the website. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadDog2020 Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 (edited) Btw, anyone know if we’re still wearing the RR’s on Tuesday night? We were originally scheduled to wear them 2/23 against the Islanders, but now we are playing Buffalo again that night.

I’d suggest keeping it as is and sending it after the season, at least this way you get to wear it. PMing you further info. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brewskies Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 Well earned. Who else would they have chosen? They could have given it to Travis Zajac in honor of his long time play with the Devils. Tomorrow, Sunday, February 21, 2021 Travis, if he plays, will play his 1,000 game in the NHL and all with the Devils. I remember so many Devils fans complaining about Zajac's contract too long and for too much. He has been Mr. Dependable as a two way playing center. Congrats Travis, Thanks for your loyality and dedication to the game and the Devils. However, if looking forward, it had to be Nico. This is his team. The second youngest Devil captain in history. Let's be proud of our Captain and his team, as fans our team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Way before my time of following the Devils, but I know Parise was like already 21 when he first came into the league, and didn’t get it until Langs left. Don’t think they had captains that young back in the Rockies and Scouts days either (if those teams even count). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilf Paiement was the Rockies’ team captain from 1977 until he was dealt as part of the trade for Lanny McDonald...Paiement was 21 going on 22 when he was named. Rob Ramage was 22 when he became the Rockies’ captain, after McDonald (who was the captain at that point) was dealt to Calgary. They were the youngest pre-Devils captains in franchise history. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heh heh I’m not even going to pretend that I knew any of that off the top of my head...your post triggered an investigation on my part. In certain cases, I definitely understand a young player getting the “C”...Nico’s got three years under his belt here and is signed long-term...in his case, his being named the captain just feels right. I do like the idea of a player being a little older and wiser in most cases though. Lecavalier and Crosby were 19 going on 20 when they were made captains...Lecavalier actually lost the C for a while, then got it back for several years. Crosby is obviously a beast, captain or not. But unless a guy has incredible presence and leadership ability at such a young age, I wonder if it’s weird for longtime vets to have such a young captain.

titans04 Posted February 21, 2021 Author Share Posted February 21, 2021 I think the whole C thing is symbolic and relatively meaningless in the room as long as the ship is heading in the right direction and everybody is pulling in the same direction. I think from an organization standpoint reflecting outwards to their fanbase it's great to have one out front and center. From that standpoint I think Nico is a perfect choice. Will he hold up IF the wheels were to start coming loose and say for example a key vet would start to go sideways and become disruptive? I would lean towards he would probably be in over his head at this stage. Bottom line for me, I don't see that scenario happening because they're a predominantly younger group (especially their better players). Zajac also seems to be from all accounts a great soldier who certainly would never become disruptive in any scenario and would help squash any under current of BS. I wish him nothing but the best of luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devil Dan 56 Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 They were saying before the game that when Nico got named captain, his family texted Shero to thank him for believing in Nico enough to draft him first overall. Classy move 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
