i am not going to nit up this thread but this is a ridiculous claim, the first of which is that the devils sell out their playoff games. but i can assure you there are several reasons why new jersey doesn't sell out. try putting a team in cherry hill and see how well it would do.

you wrote a good post, but that was may of 2000, and i think we'd remember since the devils won the stanley cup.

ps: i'm not really rooting against the phillies in this series, so please don't mistake me for a hater.

so jealous that I can't be at the game. either way, there's been so much jinxing going on today. we might pull another epic choke

may of 2000 is the 1999 flyers : )

I love how all the douchebag fans are like "f the haters!"

You guys are the haters, nobody is hating but you.

There was once a boxing match in Cherry Hill pitting a local against someone from the west coast.

He started shouting "THE DEVILS SUCK! THE NETS SUCK!"

He was allegedly quite confused when people started cheering

Hey I think Rays fans are awesome. I made one "hater" post which stated "oh see them all coming out of the woodwork" a few days back. But other than that, i am MUCH happier to be playing a team that has you guys for fans as opposed to the Red Sox Nation.

if you want to be really specific, it's the 99-00 flyers

During Game 3 of the World Series on Saturday night, Rays family members and employees say they were harassed and abused by Phillies fans at Citizens Bank Park to an unacceptable degree.

Children were cursed at, and one 9-year-old boy had beer poured on him. A Rays family member stayed locked in a bathroom stall because, he said, Phillies fans were banging on the walls and threatening him.


This isn't just rude or profane; it is intimidating and threatening. It is women being called whores and worse. It is children having food thrown at them. It is being pushed, shoved and jostled in the concourses.

Does this sort of thing happen at other stadiums? Without a doubt. And I'm sure it has happened on occasion at Tropicana Field, too. But no city has the reputation of Philadelphia. And the Rays have never complained about another stadium in this way.

The city is going to burn if it's won tonight. A friggin smoke bomb was thrown on the ice at the last flyers home game

relevance?

I didnt write it Im just excited about philly being burnt to the ground wish I still lived there

Which begs the question: are Philadelphia homers as obnoxious in victory as they are in defeat?

ayyyooohhhhh

The Devils have a bandwagon?

Seriously, nobody gives a crap about them whether they win or lose. They have a small core of hard-core fans that doesn't really grow too much during the playoffs of Stanley Cup runes.

Tuq,

Well played.

Could this game really get delayed??

Haha, I know I've gone too far when I'm getting complemented by Thremp.

Possibly, but I think they will play. Not as bad as Saturday. Plus rain is predicted tomorrow, too, and Fox really does not want a game Tuesday night.

tup,

well played indeed.

welcome to the city, not trying to be a dick but this happenes at every game in philly, if its the eagles, phils they just bleed there teams and when they get some beer in them they have to act tough it sucks cause it gives the city a bad name but it happenes every night..

I've seen stuff like this happen, but it happens everywhere. Having a few drunk idiots behaving like this does not take away the thousands upon thousands of great fans who've loved their teams through years of misery.

This series is a long way from over. In Game 1 we had Cole pitching and the game definately could have gone either way. It's a baseball game, anything can happen.

If we lose tonight we have to go back to Tampa and a Rays team that will surely be revitalized. We also have to face a Garza who, as we've seen, can be lights out when he's on.

The series isn't over.

I believe with all my heart that Cole is going to deal tonight and we're going to win, but I've played and watched sports my entire life. Crazy stuff happens. Leave the champagne closed for a few more hours guys...

Stak

tis true.

The Devils do not have bandwagon fans. They do not have many fans period.

We have two other Devil's fans on this site other than me.
I started a Devils thread and it did not get any traction.

Did the Philly Mayor read the Riot Act preemptively this morning by any chance?
