If our starting goalie wasn't in the news for Covid it wouldn't be talked about and people would be talking about the season a lot more. Personally my excitement for this season is at an all time low because of how the front office has handled the arena. I won't be at games for quite some time. I think attendance is going to suffer, there's a lot of tickets available for the home opener. I know a lot of season ticket holders who sit around me who opted out for the season entirely and others who got full refunds. I saw my section during the pre-season games and nobody was in my area at all. The front office really better hope this team doesn't sh!t the bed out of the gate. I would like nothing more to get back to actually normality but we simply aren't there yet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kid, of course, that’s like an actual relevant conversation, not who is a fvcktard or who is stupid for not getting vaccinated. If it stayed with that, nobody would have cared.

Honestly couldn't remember if I posted here about the team giving people options for the season because that just happened recently. They have been quite shady and sh!tty about it too, only offering it to some people but not outright offering it to everyone so you basically have to push for it if that's what you want. I really don't get why our team acts like there's some high demand for people shelling out money for 44 home games for a team that's made the playoffs 1x since 2012 and a team that has always had attendance issues. Instead of saying hey we know this situation sucks here's your options they have to hide it and make it difficult for everyone. They are also not holding the seats for people who opt out, you can carry your money over and keep your tenure but there's no guarantee the seats will be saved. This is the stuff I don't get with them, why not build more loyalty by realizing this is a year with a sh!tty situation for some and just say hey we know you've been a season ticket holder for x amount of years and we value your loyalty for keeping your money with us, we will keep your seats and see you next season. Instead I now know several long term season ticket holders who are completely done spending money on this team. Our front office on the ticket/arena side is run by absolute fools. That's my last rant on this one for awhile. Edited October 10, 2021 by Satans Hockey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We get it, you think everyone should be vaccinated. @SterioDesignis 100% right, you want to criticize him for bringing up Lou all the time, or me for talking about Jack’s lack of scoring, but you’re literally doing the same thing. I don’t know about everyone else, but I know all about COVID vaccinations and I’m tired of hearing people’s opinions about them. This place should be an escape from that rhetoric.

That's my last rant on this one for awhile. I let our rep know that we wouldn't be attending any games this year - got the standard canned response which I expected but... still. Now granted my Dad and I only ever bought the flex plans, no more than 10 games a year. Small player in the grand scheme so I'm sure our concerns didn't make it very far. So between Comcast dropping MSG and the arena situation being what it is - my intake of Devils games this year might be limited Pray that our lord and savior Widdy posts YT streams on /r/Devils I guess. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like we can discuss its potential impact here without casting judgement and having it spiral into another pissing contest. My stance here is clear, but I can discuss the logistics surrounding his status without blowing a gasket. I would hope others can behave the same way.. Why do I feel like the injury bug is going to derail a potentially good start to the season here.. There's a big difference between hope and actuality. A small board like this is really the only chance to potentially have a civil discussion (it sure as sh!t ain't happening on HF or the comments section of Twitter/Facebook) in theory, but...it just ain't happening dude, especially with this hitting home so to speak with Blackwood putting himself and this team in the epicenter of it here. Especially considering this causes arguments over things that really shouldn't have any nuance to them.

Probably wants to get a feel for game action again coming off the injury, get a groove, get his shot, see how the first dose affects him, keep playing, then time the second in case he has adverse reactions which many people have reported. EDIT: by adverse, I mean the usual side effects headaches, fatigue, etc. Edited October 10, 2021 by jagknife 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh hell no I didn’t, it was #4 on the year and hands down the worst. Ended up walking parts, which I never do, was quite irritated at myself especially since I cramped badly and staggered across the finish. The crazy sh!t was I still somehow placed in my age bracket.
