New ownership, and they come from a building where they report honestly. The Flyers will report short if they're 6 tickets short.

How about my bad beer tasted worse this year than it did last year.

Trying to make more sense. What's better at the arena? I don't want canned beer or miller lite though...

Get housed at hells on good beer and save urself 40 bucks. Never overpay for bad beer. Bad form Peter, bad form.

Not sure where to start on tonight. Obviously Brunner's speed and creativity with Lokti is exceptional. Not sure whether to laugh or cry that there's a real possibility a camp tryout will lead the team in goals.

The overall speed of our D is mind-numbingly bad and they're making the dumbest pinches. Why is Volch EVER pinching? There's no excuse for that. Grabner had his usual 4 breakaways vs us only this time he converted. It's quite concerning that they're running around pinching when 40 is on the ice. You have to recognize that and respect his speed. The odd man rushes are a giant concern and I'm not sure it's going to change with this blue line we are icing. It's simply not good enough to consistently win in this league.

The less said about Larsson the better. Very underwhelming thus far. You need to get fayne in here and get him some games due to his mobility and solid all-around play. For the most part Lou is an exceptional hockey mind. He has to see it. At some point Fayne and Gelinas need some time because this slop has been going on since last year...

Any reason why Pete decided swapping Bernier for Brunner on that line was a good idea? Entire 2nd and most of the third period he removed Brunner from Lokti's line.

Elias & Brunner had a couple of good shifts together, I think he was trying to reunite them for a while to see what they could do.

Seriously though, I don't think we're focusing hard enough on how concerning it is the Devils didn't even come remotely close to selling out a weekend Opening Night.

He separates them because they are the few on this team that create offense. He's trying to get the other guys going.

I think....and I'm just playing Devils Advocate here......that Pete is EXPERIMENTING with lineups and whom plays well with whom(and who sucks) early on.


That's the only thing that can explain Pete's rationale.....

I think attendance was similar to the "sell-outs" from last year.

We already know what the problem has always been - club seats are priced way too high.

That's where the Devils get hurt the most. Uppers and Balconies were nearly 100% full. I want to say just random seats were empty. Mezz was full too.

It was the club seats and the "sides" in the lower bowl.
