Rock Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 I was looking at the promotional schedule and there is a Ring of Honor ceremony against Dallas, but they don't announce who the nominee is. Names come to mind Lou (I think not while is an active GM) Billy Macmillan (who just passed away) Jacques, The security guard at Continental Arena (Old Forum Joke) Any thoughts?

Colorado Rockies 1976 Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 It’s gotta be Lou. Just can’t see anyone else who should go in ahead of him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadDog2020 Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 Lemaire is a good candidate. But I agree with CR, it’s gotta be Lou. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rock Posted September 19, 2023 Author Share Posted September 19, 2023 I just checked the Date is Jan. 20 the Islanders are off that night and play Dallas the next night at home. increasing the possibility of Lou😀 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satans Hockey Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 I think it's Lou as well and they are gonna wait until we play at the Islanders during the regular season on October 20th to have him on the broadcast to officially announce it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to imagine that Lemaire, Robinson, and Burns don't all get in there at some point. Kinda makes you wish that Lou had been inducted much much earlier. If he had gone in a year or two after McMullen, some more deserving candidates could also already have gotten in by now.

Nicomo Posted November 21, 2023 Share Posted November 21, 2023 Wait…Brylin was seen as a dark horse? I would think he was the consensus first choice as far as players go. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given that he spent his entire career here, and was part of the 3-Cup club, and is still part of the organization, yeah, probably. Some plenty worthy candidates in the two-Cup club...starting with Rafalski and Lemieux. Then of course Madden, Pandolfo and Holik. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People always forget Colin White. 2 Cups, 700+ games, alternate captain. He actually played more games as a Devil than Madden, Lemieux, or Rafalski. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be awesome; get two of our Cup winning coaches up there. Honestly, make it into a coaches night and let’s put Burnsie in with them. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as players go, I’d be all for John MacLean to be next (2nd all-time in franchise history in points and goals, behind Patrik of course, and was here for Cup #1…also many big moments), but that’s more of a personal choice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ceremony should coincide with a visit from the Rangers so that their fans have to suffer through another recitation of Devils triumphs, some at their expense. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of great candidates to choose from. I would be another vote for MacLean. First off, he deserves it but it also feels like a move that would instantly wipe away the sour taste left by his coaching tenure here the same way “sorry Lindy” changed the narrative in one night. Not saying MacLean didn’t deserve to be fired but it shouldn’t define him as a Devil. Also, I can never get sick of watching his OT goal against the Blackhawks with Gary Thorne absolutely going off on the call.
