bostondevil11 Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 Hells yes I love hockey. I bought a Bruins 12 game pack this year I don't like the Bruins most of the time I am rooting against them but in the end i really just want to see a good hockey game. If someone loves hockey i can't see why it would be a problem to go to a game anywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adavid Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 Absolutely. I hate the Canes, but I go to the games to savor the other team's goals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devil Dan 56 Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 I would definitely go, and I have many times. Up until about 2004, my Uncle had season tickets to the Rangers. He took me to my first ever game in 1995 (Devils @ Rangers 1-1 tie). Over the years, I've gone to many non-Devil Ranger games, including a game against Calgary where Flames fans had nearly 2 full sections in one end of the rink. The Rangers scored, and 2 fans with Ranger flags ran up between their sections to taunt the Calgary fans. Calgary scored seconds after the ensuing face-off, and the 2 Ranger fans disappeared in the celebration. A more poignant moment was the home opener of the 2001-02 season, just weeks after September 11th. The Rangers played the Sabres, and both teams wore jersey's with 'New York' down the front the way the Rangers one looks now. I remember there being standing ovations every time any one in uniform walked along the walkway between the uppers and lowers. Police, firefighters, military. It was a real special game. I'm a Devils fan first, but I love the sport. I'm always happy to see any game. psh msg bsg i've went in with a devils rangers suck jersey all they do is run their mouths. Surprisingly they're still high from 1994 I agree with this. At the skills last night, my buddy saw a wraparound attempt and said 'Matteau! Matteau!!'. My reply was 'Still on that after 15 years? Or 3 Cups later?' Ha, all he said was, "Sigh. Yeah, I know." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pattyelias Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 I have gone to plenty of Ranger games in the garden even when the opponent isn't the Devils. I have no problem going to the garden and rooting for my second favorite team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mouse Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 I like being a d!ck to fans I don't like. I wouldn't pass up Devils tickets to see the Rags play someone else, but otherwise, I would go and annoy the Rangers fan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msweet Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 Maybe I'm spoiled because I have Devil's season's tickets but I have gladly passed several time from friends who have offered me Rag$ tickets. The thought of going to that toilet bowl is not very appealing to me. Everytime I have been to MSG, the Devils have been there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prucenterrules Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 I'd go and root for the other team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pattyelias Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 Just to clarify my earlier post, by second favorite team I meant whoever is playing the Rangers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nick17112 Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 100% yes - Hate the Rags but love Hockey. Seeing them lose for free would be ace. Ive paid to see them lose and that was fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockingTheRed81 Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 I'd go. I'd go with a Devil jersey on and cheer obnoxiously for the other team =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dadds3424 Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 i would take the ticket, sell it, then use the money to buy a devils tickets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
section 110 Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 I'd go - and so would most real hockey fans because its about the love of the sport. I'd submit that most ranger fans are only fans if their team is playing, therefore most wouldn't take a similar opportunity if offered.

Devs4LIFE Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 I'm a hockey fan, so yes I would go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
masterofgrond Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 Of course, I've done it before and I'd do it again. I just root for the other team. Now if they're playing someone like Philly for example, then it's a little trickier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devils26 Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 While I hate the Rangers, I love watching hockey, even if it's not the Devils. I'd go in a second. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MantaRay Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 Are you kidding? Until corporate budget cuts and layoffs, I used to go to MSG once a week for free and had the suites once a month for my friends and I. Any chance to go to a game (and cheer for the opposition at MSG) at no cost is always welcomed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsonnabend Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 What, would I hop on the F train and head into the city for a couple of beers and live NHL hockey on someone else's dime? Why would I do something foolish like that . . . - Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This. I went to over 30 Rangers games one season in the early 00's as they sucked and noone else wanted the tickets. Free hockey is free hockey. I worked in the city so it was so easy just jumping on the train after the game. OTOH, I would have had to think long and hard about going to the Meadowlands on a weeknight even with free tickets.

sameblood Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 (edited) I've gone to a few. It's a good time when they lose, but anytime I have to hear that goal song live my ears start to bleed.

Great point as usual Petey. MSG is so bloody easy to get to whether your working in NYC or just taking the train in. The Meadowlands was in the middle of nowhere and a pain in the arse to get to. Since I don't use a car, I would have to take a bus into NYC from Hoboken to come back to NJ to see a Devils game. Ridiculous. Odin be praised for the ROCK and the easy access to it.
