GDT: Rangers @ Devils - 1:00 P.M. - MSGSN, MSG

[Maine Fan]

Hang in there. Hopefully it isn’t too painful. The team is counting on you for a big stretch run of good posts so bounce back quickly and let us know how it goes.

Thank you My3Sons, Merry Christmas to you and your family. The teeth are out, lots of bleeding but I have plenty of gauze to wad up and put in place to stop it. Once all the problem teeth are resolved I will go about replacing some if not all. At my age why bother, except I chewed on the right where 4 teeth broke and were extracted then there is the 3 teeth in the upper left soon there will not be any place for me to chew. I need to chew to be able to enjoy those New Orleans meals that I have shipped to New Jersey for my pleasure. Also when Camille the Eel ships me Maine Lobster, getting the hint Camille? I love my steak and prime ribs so I need teeth. Besides who ever saw a toothless Devils fan. Enjoy tomorrow

I believe it’s a mocking reference to a poster who (bizarrely) criticized Nico Hischier for being “injury prone” and “fragile” when he had a stretch of bad luck where he took several pucks to the face. What is Nico supposed to do, have stronger “bone density”?

The joke, of course, is that Nico is one of our most durable players, taking a beating every game to play good defense, and thriving as one of the best two way forwards in the league while doing so. Bone density is clearly not a problem.

@Bone Density , correct me if any of that was incorrect.

Thank you for that explanation. I did not know that and Nico has been one of my favorite players, I had to defend Nico, against My3Sons, when he was on a rant. Must be true, Bone Density, agreed, unless there is foolduggerary going on. Have a Merry everyone. I bought a 6 pack of Modelo's beer yesterday, I am going to party.

I think Timo is genuinely a Chelsea fan. It was the Cole Palmer ice cold celly.

I remember reading some fluff piece about Nico and Timo. Nico is a Man City fan and Timo is Chelsea.

Someone tell Nico never to use the Haaland "Stay Humble" line PLZ

If I was on a rant against Hischier it was almost certainly me being facetious. I like to joke that Hischier is a third line center because that was a story here from a few posters when Hischier was having injury issues when it was obvious to anyone watching closely that Hischier had always given 100% and was a very good two way player even when he was having to battle injuries and a bad team around him.

the same fanbase that laughed along with Avery calling Marty a fatso and also commenting about his extra-marital affairs is now offended by some random intern admin posting a meme about the Rangers on Twitter lol get real.

 

[Incharge1976]

You know we are back because the "Devils could win 10 Cups in a row and not be as relevant as us" posts are starting to become plentiful.

They should be embarrassed being able to get other teams to take their mistake contracts, have people want to go to them because of NYC, and only being able to get one Cup since America entered World War 2.

As opposed to winning 1 cup in 84 years? Relevant to what? Being a laughing stock?

Absolutely lol It's also same fan base who chants the name of the goon with rocks for brains.

Then again self awareness has never been a strong suit for that delusional fan base.

from Island Lobster on Matinicus to Asbury Park for the Lobsters. Hard shells travel well. A happy Xmas and better health for your New Year, Maine Fan. Also go Black Bears. Highly ranked nationally.

Same fanbase who said the Devils core will not be shit/Jack will leave, trolled us in the 2019 game before Thanksgiving and chanted Hall's leaving, rooted for a dude who gave Devils concussions twice last year. I feel no sorry or sympathy for them, I hope they rot for the rest of my life in mediocrity.

Also not for nothing, didn't a Rangers fan assault a Lightning fan in 2022? Devils fans can say some dumb shit, not denying that, but I've never seen them assault a Rags fan in Newark.

Also the same fan base that thought it was funny Rempe signed a picture of Bastian being hurt after Rempe hit him. Just hilarious they are so made about memes when they have been way worse scumbags.

Fighting wise I've seen fan's start it on both ends but that usually always has to do with people not being able to control their alcohol.

I guess this game just isn't going to be on ESPN+ on demand :/

First time Nico disappoints me.

God, the salt and denial was strong among the Rag fans once the stuff like the draft party video/dumpster fire gif got out. Seems like some of them got their heads back on straight after a night to sleep on things, but the continuous "we don't care at all about the Devils, actually!" and "you're not relevant because you're not in NEW YAWK" stuff...man, a lot of their arguments boil down to "stop having fun!", which is clearly how to go about enjoying sports, right?

Ah well. I do hate when stories come out that some of our worse fans did stupid shit to Rag fans, but that's something that happens to some of our fans when their worst see us in the Garden, I suppose.

I've haven't had an uncomfortable event or confrontation at the Garden in a long time. They are more acceptable to seeing fans from the visiting teams more than a few generations ago. Our breakthrough game was in 2000 after winning the 2nd cup. I was up in the 400's getting LGD chants going. Got some shit verbally but, that was the extent of it. Went there back in 1996 and was walking on egg shells and a bit nervous admititly. Love going into that building just like opposing athletes do. Yesterday I didn't see any hooligans in action. I was loudest person in my section. Only a had full of quiet Rags fans who I didn't profile as assholes.

Championships in the last 84 years
NY Rangers 1
NY Jets 1
NY Giants (Baseball) 1
Brooklyn Dodgers 1
NYFC (founded 2013) 1

Trolling my father in law with the replay wasn’t as fun as I hoped. He seems resigned to the Rangers being shit this season, and actually agrees with many of our takes.

To wit: Drury is an idiot and should be fired. Laviolette has no clue how to fix the situation. Kakko was not the problem and the return for him was embarrassingly bad. Rempe is a talentless clown who tries to injure people and shouldn’t be in the league. Zibanejad looks like he’s just collecting a paycheck and needs to get his act together or be scratched until he agrees to a trade.

Most of those are direct quotes. Very sensible takes, bluntly delivered. I knew there was a reason I married his daughter.

It’s available now.

 

[Peter Sidorkiewicz]

Yeah, what was Timo doing there?

Trae Young celebration and yes he was doing the celly well before Cole Palmer actually made his first EPL start

 

[Hisch13r]

I buy this a LOT more than NST’s 4.45-3.08 lol

Even moneypuck had similar numbers as NST for some reason. I think I agree with that one you posted more.

How often is there a game where a team has an expected goals of below 1? I’ll give it an expected goals of 1 or a little over 1 maybe.

 

[My3Sons]

I’m sure they were just late for the Kakko support group meeting

I can’t think of a game where the public model numbers and what I saw were so drastically different. Seems like the private models caught what we actually saw

 

[Maine Fan]

Did anyone see Santa this evening? I hope he was good to all of you and your families including your friends and animals. Don't forget to help our brothers and sisters not so fortunate and their animals.

As Devils' fans we have been enjoying a great year of entertainment. As Devils' fans it is time to give to others in need, thank you for being the fans that all teams wish they had.

Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah. The last time these holidays came together was 2005.

Later

nice haircut asshole.
