I was on the other side of a situation like this in February, when I attended the Devils-Predators game at which the latter’s team captains were honored.  Fans entering the arena were randomly given a commemorative pin depicting the jersey of a Predators captain, and it was definitely weird being handed one while wearing a Nico Hischier jersey.

Whoever handed you Josi definitely dropped the ball, considering one of those captains is the Devils current GM lol

I think of it a little bit differently. I remember going to games as a kid, not necessarily wearing opposing team gear, but definitely not rooting for the home team, and if I ever got certain giveaways or promo items I always liked it because it helped me become interested in and learn more about other teams and players around the league. 

Some of that stuff really helped me become the die hard hockey fan I am today. 

If you're paying to go to the game, and on top of that you show up early enough to be part of the first 10k fans or whatever it is, I see no reason why you shouldn't get to participate and receive the giveaway item.

Teams should be giving giveaways to all fans in attendance, period.

Seriously there's two DBAs that seem to have endless coaching lives:

Dumb But Ancient in Lindy

Dumb But Angry in Hynes

Scrolling through the comments on this tweet they actually seem quite happy…

Every other reply is “we’re back!”

Lindy is their Jacques Lemaire, so I’m kind of not surprised by the positive reactions lol

In all those years there he got them to one SC Final.  Do they think he’s getting them there again?  Yikes.
