So it is.....Stanley Cup Finals!!! Man it was sweet to knock the Rangers out and silence their arrogant fans. It was a pretty competitive series, certainly more than the Flyers series, and will admit to being quite nervous in OT game 6. Boy, if I had to listen to one more reference to 1994 I was going to vomit....about ten times. So what, I understand that it was the ECF and all, but really, I did not get all of the comparisons. How funny though, after listening to Sam Rosen's "Matteau Matteau" for years and years, what a twist of fate for them to now hear "Henrique Henrique". Ha!
I loved how the Rangers sent their "goons" out late in game 4 with that turncoat Rupp sucker-punching Marty in the throat. I seriously wanted to climb through my TV and get a piece of him! I thought it was a little embarrassing that there was no real revenge and a very timid response to all of that crap, but whatever. I'd rather have the series win than be the toughest team on the block.
So after listening to the media call for the Devils to lose to the Panthers, get mauled by the Flyers, and lose in Game 7 again to the Rangers, we now have to hear about how tough the ....*cough cough, eight-seeded Kings will be. Certainly, they rolled over their Western opponents in convincing fashion and they are hot, but maybe their short layoff will cool their jets.
Unless I was high this weekend, I totally missed out on any ticket opportunities. When the hell was that limited window to buy?!? I checked Saturday morning and saw nothing, then returned home from a BBQ to hear "SOLD OUT". Damn!! ... Oh well, I will equally enjoy a cup from the comfort of my living room.
....and S T I L L .....not a Devils fan to be seen in South Jersey....
Let's go Devils!!
You aren't the only Devils fan living in South Jersey! I'm originally from Central Jersey and had been living in North Jersey for 9 years before moving here. I moved here with my wife (who is originally from Marlton) for the same reason, to save money. I feel like I'm living in Pennsylvania! We are behind enemy lines with Flyers fans all over the place! Hey, at least Flyers fan aren't as obnoxious as Ranger fans.

Hey Robert! So there is at least ONE other fan out there! Voorhees? So you are in the belly of the beast as well! Yes, it does often feel like Pennsylvania around here. I understand the support of Philadelphia teams, but don't understand the lack of NJ pride or animosity towards the rest of the state. Is your Marlton wife a Flyers fan?
ReplyDeleteMy wife isn't a sports fan, but roots for the Flyers as a joke to get under my skin. I had the last laugh after the 2nd round of the playoffs! The devils need to find a way to beat Quick and stop going into overtime, anything can happen in sudden death.
