HellOnICE Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 No info as of yet, that I know of. That image has been up there for a couple of weeks, seemingly. Hopefully something will come out soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CRASHER Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 They aren' t holding the draft at night are they????? Yep, that's the night of the NHL Draft, why? Well Round 1 at least..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thelastonealive Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 I think it's Round 1 Friday night, and 2-whatever Saturday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elias2600 Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 I really dont like this two day format, but whatever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triumph Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 I really dont like this two day format, but whatever. the draft was always two days. unless you mean round 1 one night and then rounds 2-8 the next days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SatansDevils Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 No info as of yet and will be getting more info soon thru their emails. I received this email a few weeks ago and called the Rock and they didn't have any more news. All they said that the Draft party will be most likely in the big restaurant behind the goal side.

skeeter Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 Just got an email from the Devils with the details on this thing. Parking will be $5 in the garage next to the arena, doors open at 6:30, current and former Devils will be there to sign autographs and pose for pictures, the mascot and minor league mascots will be there, Matt Laughlin and Sherry Ross will host it (Matt can announce our draft pick 3 minutes after it happens), fans can skate on the practice rink (bring your own skates), there will be interactive games, giveaways, and raffles. There will also be a sale of new and used hockey equipment. The draft will be broadcast on the big screens in the arena. I'm curious to see what the turnout to this is. I'm expecting either a very big crowd and once again they'll be overwhelmed like in 2005 or not too many people because it's now on a Friday night. Either way, I'd say get there early. That parking garage doesn't look too big. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

USC09 Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 I won't be there for sure, not wasting $15 bucks for a train ride just to wait until pick 21. I mean have fun for anyone that is going, but I'll get more info on TV on Versus. The 2006 Draft party was a waste, I didn't go, but it must have been because they traded down to Draft Corrente and he was not in Vancouver to go up and put on a Devils sweater. Plus the OLN coverage ended after the 29th pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MantaRay Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 If the draft was Saturday afternoon, I would be compelled, sort of like the event that the NFL draft is. But on a Friday night? Not as interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRASHER Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 it's worth it for the chance to skate on the practice rink alone!! Hope they do an equipment sale also!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevilNurn Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 I'll be there! I'd like to get some cards autographed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devilsfan26 Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 Is the event itself free? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SatansDevils Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 Yes the draft day or now night party has always been a free event. Now we just have to pay $5 for parking and skate rentals if you want to skate out on the practice ice rink and have no skates of your own to use. I would love to make this night but so far it does not look too good. I wish they would come out and say if there is going to be any Devils players from this seasons team going to be there that night. That way it would have more fans attending draft night. Right now I just do not know if I will be attending. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thelastonealive Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 it's worth it for the chance to skate on the practice rink alone!!Hope they do an equipment sale also!! Amen. And I can't even skate. C'mon, it's something hockey-related - Devils hockey-related, no less - in mid-June. Worth the train ticket at least. I'll be there, with 2MA stickers (in case anyone was on the fence about going, and that talks you into it - y'never know!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vadvlfan Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 If I lived relatively close, I'd be there for sure, skates and all, gladly paying the $15 for the train. I want to buy a pair of Cam's gloves, White's old skates, or old jerseys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yankeesjetsfan Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 I will definately be there. I can just take the Path train right from work and be there by 6pm. I want to grab some autos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talk about bad timing.... At least you're at MSG for that, though, and not something else. Tell them to play Why Can't I Be You. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
