Vote for our hockey mascot: NJ Devil

SamPWoo.com – Devils fans. Times like these, we need to stick together and support for our beloved mascot, NJ Devil.



I came across a Facebook news feed that NJ Devil needs our help. Apparently, ESPN Radio is running a March Madness type bracket called, “Doug Gottlieb’s Mascot Madness” and NJ Devil has made it to the Sweet 16 thus far.

#6 NJ Devil Vs. #7 Ragnar Viking

After upsetting the #3 ranked, Rally Monkey, we, as Devils fans, need to ante up all of our online poker chips and go all in. Let’s win this Mascot Madness tournament and bring some good karma before the Stanley Cup playoffs. You think I am crazy?

I’ve always lived by the mentality that it has been “Devils fans against the world.” Getting NJ Devil to win the ESPN Radio award will show the entire Devils players, management, and the entire hockey community that we are committed to winning. After all, that is the fabric and foundation of the New Jersey Devils’ winning culture in the first place. All of us, whether you are a ticket representative, janitor, scout, season ticket holder, or even the owner, winning the Stanley Cup is our first priority every year.

For every rail slide, prank, chest bump, t-shirt toss, or even asking the loud Devils fans to politely quiet down at the New Jersey state capital building during Martin Brodeur Day, NJ Devil has always been there for us. He is that trusted friend you always wanted to be at your wedding and can count on at every Devils game. It is time we pay homage to the mascot that has kept us smiling and cheering for our New Jersey Devils.

Are you interested in helping NJ Devil?

Let’s organize and vote. Get anyone, whether they like hockey or not, to vote for NJ Devil throughout Mascot Madness. Cut and paste this link on your Facebook, Myspace, Twitter, post on websites, or even send it VIA e-mail. Keep checking my blog for updates and let’s win one for New Jersey!

Devils beat “other” team 6-3

SamPWoo.com – Interesting game. The Devils never trailed. But after the third time of not maintaining the lead, they took over the game. It maybe too early to start chanting “Golf in April” for the visitors, but sure seem like they are heading that way.

I applauded Henrik Lundqvist before the game. For the first time, I saw him take off his goalie helmet and stood for the national anthem. I was pretty happy about that because I could not understand why for years, he never did so. Kudos to him. Maybe he didn’t know and finally got the memo.

It was a very lively crowd at the Rock. I met some great fans last night and it was a spirited affair. After yelling “Long Live Denis Potvin” chants, tons of confetti was raining down and the Devils have an offensive team, yet are struggling defensively. Jacques Lemaire’s teams have traditionally been great defensively, but I think this team may be more geared towards a high tempo game. Still about 5 more weeks of regular season hockey to fine tune the well oiled winning machine.

And I thought my 19-0 victory over the New York Rangers was bad. Checkout this “other” fan’s prediction:
