Speculation: Devils Announcement Thursday at the Rock

[Colin226]

That's more work than the entire team did last night.

Pretend it's moving.

That would require more imagination than we use on our Power Plays

Needs more Gionta.

You don't make a trade and then announce it two days later

You do when Lou is senile

 

[Offseason Champs]

Probably something dumb, like they're hosting a World Series of Poker event.

I'm guessing this is it.

Someone should blow that up and bring it to the game.

Just blow up Josefson, Tedenby, and Larsson's heads. And go to town.

have cutouts of every forward and change the faces to match the line currently out on the ice

Can you imagine the players seeing that coming back over the boards for a line change. They would laugh like no tomorrow.

Swedes? We don't need no stinking Swedes? lol

I really want to do this. Just desperately. They probably wouldn't let me in the arena with 15 cardboard cutouts.

I hope sham pressers are not going to be the norm for the new ownership group. There was no need to announce this the way they did.

 

[NJDevs26]

Well they're definitely bringing out the carving board for new sponsors, which sends a message. We probably didn't have the money to do this kind of hype last year lol

That would be amazing. I'd love to help out with that...haha

 

[Bleedred]

Pete DeBoer being moved from head coach to Prudential Center Casino Pitboss?

NICE!

I almost died laughing!

How long does it take to make one of these? It's outstanding!

just an image took me about 15 min. To make it an animated gif would take hours, or in other words, more effort than it's worth.

 

[Czech Trio]

All while trying to make the Devils more family friendly by changing the goal song and what not they will have a sponsor deal with a gambling site?

And by playing ''Smokin'' by Boston during games. A song clearly about smoking illegal substances.

Interesting comment on the Business of Hockey section:

New Jersey recently legalized online poker. Partypoker is the largest publicly traded online gambling company in the world. They're also partnered with MGM Resorts International, who co-owns the Borgata in Atlantic City.

Will be interesting to see how big of a deal this turns out to be.

They seem to be hyping it so much that I'm almost curious if it will be one of those "New Jersey Devils presented by PartyPoker" kind of massive sponsorships we've seen with the Rangers and Red Wings. And those tend to be very lucrative sponsorships so let's see, but if true, it's fantastic for the Devils and Prudential Center. You figure the PruCenter is consistently top 5 busiest in the USA and I believe reached top 10 in the world this past year, so it definitely is an enticing brand to partner with. Being that the Devils are tied to the arena as one entity, it would be a huge deal for the franchise.
