    I'm not sure what constitutes a real fan. I attended my first Devils game back in 1988. I once met Bruce Driver in the stands during a game while he was recovering form an injury and got his autograph on his card from the team trading card set that was given away to kids that night. I have a puck from pre-game warmups that landed on the armrest between me and my brother in the days before the safety nets went up. I've got a Devils jersey in my closet and my cubicle is currently covered with Devils logos. I remember going to games when guys like Sean Burke and Chris Terreri were in goal, guys like Viacheslav Fetisov were on defense, and Brendan Shanahan was scoring 20-30 goals for the team instead of handing out suspensions. Is that outweighed by the fact that I don't post in this thread very often?


    I got Fetisov's autograph after I took a leak next to him at the Utica Aud in 87 or 88. He was a nice guy and he did wash his hands. :lol:

    Did he use a pen or was there a misunderstanding due to the language barrier when he said, "Pen is good?"

    I find it funny that Rangers fans are suddenly so upset about how hardcore or casual Devils fans are. I noticed it right around the start of the Conference Finals. I work in an area of NJ where the sports fans mostly root for Philly teams and not once have I heard anyone complain about NJ bandwagon fans and Philly sports fans are some of the most obnoxious fans you'll ever find. I only hear it from Rangers fans--and not just here. It reminds me of when people complained the the Devils were ruining hockey with the Neutral Zone Trap. It's odd that people in the NY area get so upset when the Devils do well after they happily dismissed them as a pretend hockey team for so long. Now that pretend hockey team has won more Cups in the last 17 years than the Rangers have in the last 72. Not bad for a team with no "real" fans.


    It all started with this. :lol:

    Someone just offered me Heat tickets... I had to explain that it's the Cup. They were like oh, I thought the Devils already won when they beat the Panthers :fp:

    Super pumped for the game tonight! Decided to change my avatar back to the Devils related logo for the series.

    I am obviously a Devils fan, but the Kings are my favorite western conference team and though I will be super bummed should the Devils lose, I will be super happy for Mike Richards!

    When I checked the other day they were sold out. If I could show you the history I would. Maybe someone with infinite financial power would pay $500 for a ticket but, currently I am not there right now. That is a bit out of my range.
