Devil Dan 56 Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 (edited) I think it was pretty much accepted but now it’s official. Cool to see him retire a Devil. He was a solid part of the defense and very reliable for a long time before he started to fall off.

Even though he was a Hobey Baker winner, I always considered him to be an overachiever...did anyone ever think he was going to play in 1057 regular season games (923 as a Devil)? I love those guys, I admit it...the Randy McKays and others who wind up becoming much more than anyone could have expected. Curious to see if he starts coming to camps to help out...or has any interest in coaching someday. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lost to Matt Carle, who had similar NHL stats in many fewer games, for whatever that is worth. I’m more impressed by Greene, who stuck around longer and was undrafted. Not an easy thing to accomplish. Edited October 12, 2022 by mfitz804 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RizzMB30 Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 Hey, I like this. Congrats to Andy. Hell of a career. Wish we could have brought one home in 2012. Love any of these undrafted guys who made the league. Gotta think it's twice as hard to go undrafted today and make it and stick. Nice gesture for the team to have a nice little perk for guys like that. They don't all need jerseys retired necessarily, but even a night to say thanks for sticking with the team, good times and bad. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Devils EVER get a proper Ring of Fire going, I wouldn't have any issue with him getting a night. Former Devils who have played almost 1000 games as a Devil are few and far between...he's 7th on the Devils all-time list for GP (6th for skaters). And not only was he named Captain at one point, I remember many of us being fully behind that at the time...says a lot. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With all of the initiatives they put out, to not have a hall of fame or ring of fire bugs me. There are so many players that shouldn't get number retire BUT honored in this way. Sarge is #1. I wish they pushed NJ Devil history more. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, my list for future R-O-F players (in no particular order): Greene Brylin Langs McKay Rafalski Terreri MacLean Driver White Holik Zajac Lemieux Might be a couple off the top of my head that I'm not thinking off...guess cases could be made for Muller, Richer and even Parise, thought I can't say any of them scream "Gotta get in!" to me. But opinions of course will vary. And I agree, especially in what's been sh!tty times, sometimes nights where former players who earned a place in Devils folklore and actually won some sh!t get some lasting recognition make for a fun evening out to a game...and there's players throughout Devils history worthy of a night of their own. And yeah, would be nice to see some kind of Ring Of Fire room to check out...would love to take my daughter to such a place, show her some Devils history (though she sees plenty of that in my basement, heh heh).

I think Langenbrunner should be on that list too. A former captain, and we don’t win the 2003 Cup without him.

Satans Hockey Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 Jeff Friesen makes the list for me, he had a very short stint here but he had 14 points in 24 games in that 03 cup run and scored some huge clutch goals 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
