Getting rid of the goal song, the Devils Dancers, the all you can eat seats.

I mean, I now see so many compelling reasons to go and not watch on TV.

I get that they want to create a family atmosphere but that's just not the Devils fan demographic. Its mostly younger people who are just now able to afford to go to games on a regular basis. Now I don't care that the dancers are gone, I just hope they don't alienate their largest demographic with this shift to a super subdued experience.

I heard they are torn between using the theme song from the Brady Bunch or the theme from the Partridge Family as the new goal song

Flyers Ice Girls might be gone too

After reading this article on how they're treated, I guess the organizations feel it's easier to disband them rather than change the way they are treated

They were pretty lame anyway. I'd trade them for a deluxe burger stand if it was revenue neutral.

 

[Jersey Man]

No point in having them. I think it's a smart move.

Both of these answers are the best answers.

Pretty soon we will have graphics on the jumbotron telling us when exactly to che...oh wait. That's been done.

yeah, I mean its a friggen hockey game
its not a polo match with everyone wearing nice sweaters tied around our necks

Exactly...I'd trade them for a bag of pucks. Having cheerleaders for hockey doesn't make sense to begin with.

This was under serious discussion last season as the new goal song

Doesn't realize the primary role of the Devil's Dancers was telling us when exactly to cheer.

It wasn't just them at the games though they went out and promo'd the devils and themselves and did a pretty good job at it.

I get it that this team is in debt and this type of **** adds up very quickly, I've just always enjoyed seeing them there I kind of know her personally a little so I guess I've got a bias towards keeping them. But they were always out promoting the team as much as they could. I think its a shame they're gone

yeah I dont see anything "good" about getting rid of them other than saving $
if some people didnt like them, they could just look elsewhere

 

[Oneiro]

Call me a castrated wuss or whatever, but I'm glad they're gone.

I'm trying to watch a game, not think about how much I'm not getting a lapdance.

Cheerleaders are there for one purpose and it's not team spirit. Good riddance. I hope all teams get rid of them.

Lulz. They were pretty stripper'ish.

You summed up my feelings about the dancers as well. I also feel bad for them when -literally- no one gives a **** about their dancing and stuff and they seemingly put so much effort into it. Embarrassing, really.

Exactly. It's frigging hockey, not Disney.

I understand the marketing desire to cater to moms and kids, but honestly - your market is pretty much the hardcore American male.

I never understood why they had them in the first place. After they did a routine, it seemed about 12 fans clapped for them.

 

[HobokenIrish]

Well if they are taking away the eye candy they better step it up in the food and booze areas. I come first for the hockey but my self-diagnosed ADD loves a good distraction

 

[theking72]

Say what you will but my daughter will be dissapointed when they're not there

 

[Hockey Sports Fan]

Never noticed 'em, never liked 'em, glad they're gone. Save the money.

 

[Tundra]

No big loss.
