Great accent ya got there... New Jersey??
 
:cool: Were you around when that Monkees hit first surfaced? Released on 11/12/1966. If so, it does my old heart good when I discover another poster in the same age group. LOL

I was a Jr. in High school and they were already on TV with their own idiotic show having premiered the first episode on 9/12/966. The show was really bad, but you always got a song or 2 that would be on the Billboard charts. Most of it was sing-along bubble gum, but they made a financial killing.

not at all :laugh:

I saw an episode a couple years back where they had a bit of a jam session which I thought was pretty good.

They do have some decent songs.

Lmao at this organization...

So long story short, our ticket rep has been, well mediocre at best.

We did not want to renew our season tickets and realized now that she didnt even bother to tell us that they are going to auto-renew already now. Nobody asked us if we want to spend another $7,000 a year again :laugh: what the literal F

I have messaged our rep twice that we do not want to renew. She refuses to process our prompt. She just sent us general terms and conditions that you auto-renewed and Devils are entitled to charge you :laugh:

Do we just have a dumbass for a rep or do others encounter this crap?

Ten emails about "please renew and place your deposit for 2025-2026" - not a single communication that we are gonna start auto-charging your credit card. Thats just.. not polite.

Is that 7k in one shot or is it at least broken up?

That blows. My reps have been great for the last two years. But its always hit or miss because those positions are high turnover (because the job sucks) and people come in and leave quickly. It’s 50-50 if you get a good one or a useless one

So, you were not around to see them when the song was released. You saw a re-run. Yes? Thus, you and I are not kindred seniors.
 
Tom better be working on an extension for Allen.
I think he's in a tough spot there. Markstrom has a NMC. Both he and Allen will be 35+ and there is no way you can go into the season relying on 2 35+ goalies. Daws is also on a 1 way at around league minimum

A few weeks ago I think everyone would have been fine with Daws as the backup going into next year with Markstrom as the main guy. Now Markstrom looks absolutely awful and Allen is putting together a very good stretch. Definitely going to depend how this last month and the playoffs go
 
This might sound overreactive and catch some heat, but is anyone willing to entertain the possibility that the Devils might be able to build a better team without Jack Hughes? And maybe Dougie as well?

Daws on a one-way pretty much says that the plan was to let Allen walk after this season . Not 100% certain but all signs point to that being the plan .

Not necessarily. Daws is still waiver exempt next season (I think) and the one way deal is just more for him to get guaranteed money for all of next year, rather than the measly AHL salary if he spends much of the year there.

A Markstrom/Daws tandem could work very well, but it could also give us flashbacks to the Vitek/Schmid tandem from last year, where Vitek was not reliable and Schmid was not experienced enough.

Only with Markstrom it’s more about an aging goaltender who has already missed time with injury this year and has been a trainwreck since returning. If Markstrom is either injured again next year for some time or just not as reliable, we’re down to Nico Daws and????
 
Definitely not.

Well, maybe without Dougie.
Fair but I really wonder. I think he takes away from the other players in ways, doesn’t work with certain linemates, is pretty inefficient, might get a little propped up by Bratt, has his fair share of health issues and he is very limited in the type of game and role he can play.

I think it’s a fair question.
