Can I ask you guys a question. How come not many people are fans of the Devils? Or are there any closet fans? I know I cant wait till the play. Seems like a good match up if the canes dont hand us goals in front of an open net lol

My 8 year old son is a huge fan. Next to the Blues, the Devils are his favorite team.
Quick story:
My son only has one reason for loving the Devils. He talks about the 2000 Stanley Cup Champions as if he was in the arena that night. The fact is, he was in my arms that night, in a hospital room while his Ma slept off 22 hours of labor. It was an awesome evening. I had no dog in the fight, but have loved hockey since I'm 4 years old. I spoke to him as if he undersood, explaining the rules and who was doing what during the game. He was just staring at the hospital TV smiling throughout the game.
So, I have, what appears to be a lifelong Devils fan for one reason and one reason only....he was born June 10th, the year the Devils beat the Stars, 2-1 in the 2nd OT of game 6.
He talks as if he was consciously aware, of what happend to be his first televison experience.
If you ever feel like a lonley Devils fan, know that you have an 8-year-old, Squirt hockey player living in Missouri named Nico.

Cuz listening to Chico Resch perform oral favors to "Marty" for an entire game makes real men wanna puke. I swear to God I hate the Devils only because of the Devils announcers.

You all got it bad over there. I remember last season I heard Sherry Ross for the first time. I was not impressed. I cant remember what she said, but it was a WTF? moment. The booth went silent. It appeared even the play by play guy was at a loss for words. She appears to be geting better of the brodcasts I heard this year, but it still seems strained at time.

Well the Wings get to play Colombus in the first round. Hopefully the end of the season was not an indicator of how are series is going to be. Could be a tough series if they don't play better than they have. Will see Thursday.

Congrats to your "Hawks Tom. Wish them success in the playoffs unless it's against the Wings of course!

Okay... I see how its gonna be.

When I thought the Hurricanes were facing the Flyers, I had a little wager, but that fell through.

Care to pick up the slack, smokey? How about a fiver on the Devils/'Canes Series? No need to go crazy... just five good sticks.

Let me know... sometime before the Devils go up three to none on the Hurricanes!

I watched it live....though I am a Hawks guy, I like Marty and was happy to see him beat POS Roy's record.
