At times I wonder why he is still a fan. A decade of nothing will do that to a lot of people. Still a fan of this team because they are my team and I still enjoy going to games even when they suck. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy to think that Mercer, Bahl, and Siegenthaler (acquired from one of the picks from Arizona) are all Devils from that trade. Until you mentioned it, I never put together that Siegenthaler was also acquired with assets from that trade. Amazing job by both Shero and Fitz to come out of the Taylor Hall situation with three good young players Edited October 23, 2022 by Lateralous 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazing job by both Shero and Fitz to come out of the Taylor Gall situation with three good young players A top 6 forward and a top 4 D is an absolutely amazing return for half a season of Taylor Hall. If Bahl turns into a solid 3rd pairing guy that’s just a bonus. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heck even Merkley was looking ok for a few games towards the end of that season. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I also understand that you haven’t really ever interacted with a lot of these members in a season where the Devils aren’t a total laughingstock, so that probably paints a different picture to you. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I derive a lot of joy from the team. The drafts, sure. Games we win, yes. Guys like Bratt who looked like they’d be nothing, and then they aren’t, yes. Going to games with my daughter, yes. I understand that we haven’t been to the playoffs, but yeah, there are still dozens of ways to enjoy the team. Venting is fine, of course, but when that’s what you choose to do and you are negative most of the time, don’t be surprised if someone mentions it on a discussion board. Sometimes I wonder why you’d be a STH, it’s that negative most of the time. Edited October 23, 2022 by mfitz804 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SterioDesign Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 (edited) If only it was just about the team doing badly. it's everything around the team or beyond. my 2 favourite is when he was whining about sponsors logo on the ice and mfitz asked him "so you're telling me that during the 0.0005second the puck slides across a logo on the ice... that's making you lose track of the puck?" and he answered "yes". Or that time he was saying that an opposing players shouldn't be allowed to skate around the ice celebrating a milestone win cause he's in our building... that kind of stuff is beyond just being unhappy with how the team plays lol It's just being negative for being negative. Even if the team did well, he'd still bring up that our jerseys and helmet will be filled with logos and the ice and the boards and that then he won't be going to games, watch or wtv. We know buddy, we know. And for the record, he can say wtv he wants. But since it's a message board we're allowed to give our opinion on that too.

I have plenty of posts celebrating goals in game day threads and mentioning I'm happy Blackwood is playing well even if I don't care for him. I've mentioned plenty of times that I'm a season ticket holder cause I love going to games even if they lose and I enjoy all the long term season ticket holders who sit around me that I'm friends with. Frankly, if anyone has an issue with my posts they can use the half ass block feature and not interact with me and scroll right on by if they see me get quoted if that's what they want to do. It's how I've been going about posting here for the last year with people who I have blocked because I have 0 interest in reading their posts and it's absolutely made this place more enjoyable.

Puckbuster Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 17 hours ago, Satans Hockey said: Hilarious to me that people are sh!tting on the fans already cause of a 3 game winning streak that includes wins over 2 of the worst teams in the league. Do I want Ruff to succeed? Of course, why would anyone who is an actual fan of this team want us to suck yet again? But lets hold the horses on that this whole thing is turned around... Well the Rags did lose to the Sharks and we won, that must make the Devils Cup contenders. 🤔 3 hours ago, Lateralous said: Until you mentioned it, I never put together that Siegenthaler was also acquired with assets from that trade.

Let’s do ZERO stats going forward. If you want to talk about how well or poor a guy is doing, you have to describe it without any statistical references. So Jesper Bratt has been very assisty this season, and not so goaly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curious where he would fall in one of those “redraft” scenarios. Certainly above our first round pick.

I’d say easily top 10. There’s really only a handful of guys you can make a case for over Bratt. Matthews Laine (I personally wouldn’t take him over Bratt) Tkachuk Sergachev McAvoy Fox Debrincat That’s about it unless I’m missing someone.

titans04 Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 (edited) Love it when one HOF super fan tells a season ticket holder who has never given up on going (excluding the covid season(s)) essentially burning his money to see a marginal product for years what a sh!tty fan he is. The guy has made more of a financial and emotional commitment to drag himself there through thick and thin than any of us non-sths could ever fathom. I think he's earned his opinion after sitting through so much garbage the last number of years. It's unfortunate it doesn't meet your level of acceptance. Come on @Satans Hockey learn how to fan, please.🤣 Edited October 24, 2022 by titans04 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
