GDT: #2 Devils vs Flyers: Can We Get An Encore

[njdevils1982]

7:30 WTF is this?

pregame ceremony so the team can raise the EC banner and each player can parade the wales trophy all over the ice.

 

[Nick0930]

Flyers in four bro hahaha!

I believe the prediction was Flyers in 3.

7:30 WTF is this?

Ha I wish they were all 7:30pm. Or at least split the start times between 7 and 7:30 so people who don't work around the corner can actually make some games on time. Weekdays are not much of a family draw anyhow so they can go a bit later.

7:30 sucks for those of us who's alarm goes off at 5am, but tonight I'm cool with it!

Flyer fans in Union County? Didn't know there were any north of where I lived (the battleground between the three fanbases - Princeton)

Are there trailer parks in Union County? Yes.
Are there Flyer fans in Union County? Yes.

Gervais skated in Foster's place (Sam C. says "Foster maintenance day.")

Lavy also shook up the lines considerably:

I know Devils fans in South Jersey. Believe it or not, some people move North too (Me, for one).

7:30 WTF is this?

I believe it's because it's on NBC Sports.

And for the record I hate 7:30 starts, don't know why because it's only 30 minutes but it throws the kids off the next day

I liked them because of the traffic going into the games (21 south) is a little better. Not going to today's game.

I know haha. One of my best buds is a Flyer fan... he lives in Berwyn PA and has a house like a castle. It's just a fun jab to take at you guys!

 

[D Fresh]

Philly roster updated!
They can do whatever they want.
We're still gonna win!

I'm sure they exist, but I've seen very few over the years myself. More Rags fans than Devils fans, sadly enough. I wish this team's success unified the state, but if it hasn't now, it probably never will.

Didn't mean to sound snappy if I did when I responded.

That's actually funny considering PA has the Castle Law.

I enjoy being up here, even with most of my friends being Devils/Rangers fans. Pain in my ass to get to a Flyers game in Philly but you take the good and the bad. Also, when the Flyers do beat the Devils, I have a LOT of people to brag to

I think a large part of it is location. If the Devils built an arena in Trenton, you'd probably increase your fanbase in South Jersey. Fact is generally no one wants to drive to Newark from say Cherry Hill when you can make it to Philly in 15 minutes. So at that part, Philly sports invades South Jersey.

Your ring of influence is focused more up north, so you guys generally become a North Jersey team.

Try 00:30 when your alarm goes off at 5:30...

WTF

So much for Brayden Schenn being a legit pick in fantasy for me. Now he's scrubbing away on a bottom line.

True!

South Jersey will always be full of Flyers fans. It's geography. The same way NE Indiana is full of Chicago Bears fans and SE Illinois full of St. Louis fans. The goal should be solidifying North and Central Jersey as undisputed Devils country, free from Rags fans. This might actually happen within the next 20 years as more new hockey families start Devils traditions and older Rangers families move away/become disengaged.

 

[devils1119]

This is the longest day of my life...just want to be at the Rock already.

 

[britdevil]

True!

Yay me!!

I do actually have the day off tomorrow though... haha

 

[cj225]

Haha...you're die hard man!

*jerk*

 

[MartyOwns]

7 - 10 days.

7-10 more goals

Yeah, it's an hour from 7A and 8 to the Rock, so exit 4's going to be quite the trek.

But Toms River is Rags+Devs country and it's 75 miles from the Garden.
