Hey, how come you get a pool cue?

 

[glenwo2]

[glenwo2]

Great that means I get to see the turd in net at Chicago this weekend. BOOOOO

 

[glenwo2]

What will the story line be for a 4-2 victory today... Worthy of arguments

1) Nico records hattrick but still looks pedestrian.
2) Bratt needs to shoot the puck more and sucks at defense?
3) Graves / Sevs give up goofy plays to lose 4-0 shutout.
4) Viteks softies prove he wont be playoff ready?
5) Dougie gets coned.
6) faceoff guy McLeod still cant score.

This happens after every game, though (win or lose).

They have to practice before that.... so maybe

 

[New Jersey]

A quarter of Boston's *regulation* losses (3 reg losses out of 12 all season) are in their last 10 games.

Meanwhile, less than a quarter of our *total* losses (4 reg, 2 ot out of 20 reg and 8 ot losses) have come in our last 10.

Is Boston "skidding" into the playoffs any harder than we are? I mean, by *their* definition, they must be!

Recency bias is a hell of a drug.

 

[Emperoreddy]

Big home game against your rival to try and secure home ice against the same team for round 1?

That's important in my book. Want to see a W

 

[New Jersey]

These games would be a lot more fun to me if we segregated fans like they do in Europe.

Like f*** it just give them sections 10-15 and the whole defend twice balcony.

 

[Guadana]

We are meeting with few guys from different part of country in bar tonight. Few guys from st p too. Really hope for big game tonight. Fun surprising event.

 

[DerekDevils30]

So. Last time the Devils were kind of in a rut, they beat the Rangers. They trailed 3-1 after 2. I switched over to Sam and Chico and they came back and it was the springboard to a run of mostly wins.

They’re kind of in a rut now. Do I go with Matt and Chico tonight from the get go? Odds are I’ll get the god forsaken Rangers broadcast anyway because Sportsnet likes to bend me over and do things to me.

This is where the MLS(Red Bulls) have spoiled me and I hate going to road games now for the Devils.Being separated from the home teams fans is amazing and a much more enjoyable experience for everyone.

I wouldn't give them that many sections though. They should get 3 sections between 10-15 and that's it. Not allowed in the building anywhere else. Don't like it? Stay home.

I have a friend who I used to take to games when he was like a kid still and I was already a few years overage. He's a good friend and a really good guy, but man, he loved fighting with people at games. He NEVER started a fight, but if someone was ready to go, he was all in. I was always afraid he was gonna get arrested and I would have to go and tell his parents that he got arrested while he was under my supervision.

He's like the nicest guy in the world and he looks like a model. He's one of the most handsome guys you'll ever meet, unless you don't find Carey Price good looking, who is basically his doppelganger.

Dude was like 15 and had no problems fighting big grown men and taking them down like it was nothing. We always said he was in the wrong line of work. He could have been a mercenary that they send to go find people that were kidnapped and kill their torturers. We always said if he was on one of the planes during 9/11 he could have take on the high jackers. Guy is an animal and has absolutely no military experience or training at all.

If we went to a game like this 20 years ago he would have taken on 5 grown men if someone started something with him. Dude was a wrecking machine and still is.

But he also is like the nicest guy ever. I can't say his name, as he was a pretty good hockey player as a kid and I wouldn't be surprised if somebody here played pee wee against him 30 years ago.

Back in the late 90's/early 00's, you couldn't take him to a game like this cause you know he's gonna go Steven Seagal on somebody. We used to call him that, because in those movies Steven Seagal would fight 5 big men like it was nothing and this dude was doing that as a high schooler.

Like I said, nicest guy ever. But games like tonight remind me of our times going to games back in the day. We almost had a riot in Philly in the late 90's or early 00's.

I've been to Anfield.

Now, I must see Liverpool in the away end in London or Manchester.

With that said, Vegas last year was great when our horrendous ass 59 point (going in that night) team scored not five seconds after some clown chirped "New Jersey sucks" a few rows back.

Fights at prudential at least really haven't been as often as they were in the Meadowlands. I know people still fight when everyone has a cell phone camera but I think most people realize it's not worth possibly losing their jobs over.

No one wants to sit in a holding tank in Newark either.

Almost got into multiple fights when I went to Eagles/Jets in 2021, they're such scummy fans. Rangers fans have talked shit to me when I've gone to MSG but I just talk shit back and it's usually just banter. Usually I'm there with a Rangers buddy who'll defuse something if it escalates lol

Philly is where we had a lot of problems. He wasn't a particularly big guy, at least not as a teenager. He was probably 5 foot 11/6 foot and 180 pounds. But I think people thought they could get away with saying shit to him cause they saw the young, pretty boy face. At this point the dude is 6 foot 2 or 3 and 220 pounds of no more than 10% body fat.

I yelled at him a few times and I was able to do that because he's not an out of control maniac that's gonna fight his friends. I told him ''Dude, not cool. You gotta try to avoid these fights because I'm like 22 and I'm responsible for your ass right now and I don't wanna be telling your parents that your 15-16 year old self got arrested because you were fighting at a game I took you to, but by the way, those dudes tonight totally deserved it. And we owe you one for having our back!''.

And I could get through to him just because we were friends and we have that code. So I could tell the dude to shut the f*** up and he wasn't gonna fight me or dare me to try and make him shut f*** up. He didn't always listen to me, but he wasn't gonna fight me over it. I would have stood no chance.

Somehow, he's never been arrested for assault. Only for street racing in his 20's. He kind of is a maniac though. One time some younger friend of his was getting bullied by about 5-6 guys that tried to fight him and calling him ethnic slurs. This younger friend of his didn't really know how skilled he was and warned him that one of them trains in MMA. So he went over there and asked everybody nicely to stop and to stop insulting him about his ethnicity. They laughed at him and one guy blew smoke in his face and went to put out a cigarette on him. So he popped him with his bad hand took on everybody else very easily, except one guy that stood down and was mortified and that guy actually wound up becoming friends with him down the line. It turns out he was an okay guy and never bothered the kid, but just hung out with scumbags that did. He said the MMA guy was quick, but the weight difference between the two of them was pretty lopsided and the MMA guy smoked and his endurance was shit. The other guy was 140 and he's over 200. Nobody ever messed with that kid again.

You would never take this guy for dangerous either. He has a nice physique, but dude looks like a model and he's got some very feminine qualities. He's always making sure his hair is perfect and his shirt has no wrinkles in it.

He's been asked too many to times to count ''Are you NHL goalie Carey Price?''.

5-1 NJ. If Blackwood was starting, 5-0 NJ

You can out me bruh

Well, he definitely has never lived within 45-50 minutes of Metuchen.

And with that said, since we talk about the Sopranos enough here, I will never not be able to think of Fat Dom getting stabbed by Carlo and Silvio and laying on top of the bowl of spaghetti and meatballs after they killed him, when hearing Metuchen.

He was just breakin balls. I heard Sil hit him first.
