Predict the Crowd 2/1/08 NY Rangers

im going sellout

:handclap:

Well, I don't know how many Rags fans will show up. They're having a major meltdown right now.

17,625

This one better sell out. And I better see a lot more black n red than the last one.

That's the thing, the only prediction for this game is how many people are wearing Devils jerseys and how many Rangers jerseys? It was waaay too close to 50-50 last time for my liking.

i will be there, with my dad for our first rag game of the season

:handclap:

The game will unquestionably sellout. The better game is predict the number of Devils fans. I'm going to go with 12,355.

Definately a sellout - I'm guessing 85% Devils fans.

God help me I'm bringing my 4 year old to this one..Hopefully he doesn't get kicked out of daycare for all the new choice words he's going to learn from the crowd! :shakehead

A sellout without question.. Upstairs will be jam packed but i can see some little spaces downstairs in the upper corners..

I mentioned this in the Tickets Thread but it can't hurt to have it here too:

I have 1 extra for the Ranger game on Friday.

Located in section 105, row 6 ($40).... Bought the seats from DevilSinceDayOne

PM me or email me if interested

Sellout!!!

I tried to get tickets but i was told they were all sold out. Heck even stub hub has only a couple of tickets available.

im going sellout

:handclap:Duh!:rolleyes:

Sellout for sure.

The game will unquestionably sellout. The better game is predict the number of Devils fans. I'm going to go with 12,355.:handclap:12,666 but, if we play like crap the Rag fans will be louder.:shakehead

Sellout!!!

I tried to get tickets but i was told they were all sold out. Heck even stub hub has only a couple of tickets available.

Plus there are only scattered singles on Ticketmaster.

Sellout.
I cant freakin wait, the atmosphere is going to be amazing. Both teams desperately need this win.

Obviously a sellout, cant wait.

Im also saying 16,900 against the Kanngss of Comedy on Saturday night which I will be in attendance for also.

I'm going with 1 ticket less than a shut out cause some ticket scalper will end up not selling his tickets and someone return it back to ticketmaster.

That's the thing, the only prediction for this game is how many people are wearing Devils jerseys and how many Rangers jerseys? It was waaay too close to 50-50 last time for my liking.



It was no more than 25% maybe 30% but still way too many


This will be a sellout.

17,625 in the box score as all tix will be sold.

But, Heavy rains tomorrow keep a lot of "fair weather" fans home, so a few no shows.

sell out

I guess Ranger fans know how to make noise better than ours.. because if no more than 30% where making that much noise and chanting "Henrik"...

But if they start that up again all Devils fan must add "SUCKS!!!" at the end of the "Henrik" chant. :)

They were winning, we got what 1 goal that game? We did not have much to cheer about.


And they chanted "henrik" everytime a shot went wide. :dunno:

THANK YOU Someone else notices this. :shot clanks off the glass: "HENRIK! HENRIK!"
:Oduya shoots a 20 mph slapshot from the point:
"HENRIK! HENRIK!"

sellout.
68% devs fans.
if we can get out to an early lead the rags fans should be pretty quiet; take a look on their board right now -- the mood is quite somber. some holding forsberg out as a savior (!?!)

The Islanders fans do the same thing with the DP chants!!

Im thinking, does anyone think we will be seeing Valiquette, since we get the Rangers at the end of a back to back?

That will happen, and I play in the nba...never!!! I would bet my house, car, and future that the queen will start, unless he gets hurt tonight.

Things to do tonight...

1. Make dinner
2. Make Lundqvist voodoo doll :naughty:

Sellout.

Well, I don't know how many Rags fans will show up. They're having a major meltdown right now.

Is that supposed to be funny?

We sell out no matter how we play at MSG, and when we face the Devils (who just can't beat us this season or the Isles), we will surely show up.

Only thing keeping some guys from showing up is the location.

Definitely a sellout.

That was precisely the joke, yes.

oh, a joke, I see...I guess that's the new one since the swamp thing doesn't work anymore. I got you.

Is that supposed to be funny?

Absolutely.

well add 2 more die hard loud crazy foaming at the moth devils fans to the game tomorrow. just was given tix by a real good friend who cant make it who is a long time season ticket holder. 3rd row, brodeur corner. woop woop!

This game is obviously a complete sellout. So is Scott Gomez.

Sellout, I was the lone devs fan in a train of rags fans wearing avery jerseys last time. I had to bite my lip the whole way

I still laugh at people who are afraid of that area of Newark, they should just hide in their closet and never come out to the real world. Perfectally fine and safe.

and guys we wont be seeing valiquette, he started for the Rags tonight vs philly, the queen will be in net.

and also, yeah the HENRIK chants get so overdone, like its the guys job to save a puck, when he makes an unbelievable save i can see chanting his name (like we do with Marty) but it definitely gets out of hand when he makes a simple glove save and the place erupts in HENRIK chants.

That was precisely the joke, yes.

But you'll go to lovely Flushing...;)

Should be a great atmosphere tonight, unlike last night's library atmosphere in Philly.

When your team plays that bad can you blame the Flyers fans for being speechless?

Well, I don't know how many Rags fans will show up. They're having a major meltdown right now.

If by meltdown you mean winning 3 of 4 then yes.

The games should be a sellout.

I think its more likely that the Rags bored the crap out of the Philly masses.

Flyers - Devils games have been my favourite games this year, even though the Flyers have played bad agaisnt us, their fans have still been good.

Also the Rangers games at the Rock and MSG have sucked, its that teams style. Its ugly to watch.

I think its more likely that the Rags bored the crap out of the Philly masses.

Easy to be bored when the home team is dominated in every aspect of the game.

I certainly wasn't bored by the gorgeous goals Dawes and Shanahan scored.

The Islanders fans do the same thing with the DP chants!!

DP is good though

The Islanders fans do the same thing with the DP chants!!

And Devils fans the same with Martin!! chants.

And Devils fans the same with Martin!! chants.

Marty is the best in the league :D

Wheres the GDT for this, I figured it would have been up like 3 days ago on this board

And Devils fans the same with Martin!! chants.

They are not as frequent as the Henrik and DP chants! You guys are a little excessive with your chants! We use them when it's appropriate.

Please. All 3 teams are the same in that regard. I've been to all 3 arenas, heard all 3 chants and all 3 are overdone.

No they aren't! I've been to all 3 arenas and I've also heard all the chants, and no, only 2 are over done!

Can you now one up me again? :shakehead

All 3 teams overdo their goalie chants and the Devils and Rangers fans both overdo the stupid ass whistle chants. End of story.

Okay, because you said so!

Back on topic please.

Ehhhh...I'm a little fired up today! It has a lot to do with little sleep and a Devils/Rangers game tonight!

And to get back on topic.....I say sellout and the Devils fans will FINALLY be louder than the Rangers fans tonight!

If this game doesn't sell out, there are problems.

If the Devils dont win, then there are problems.

Actually, it would be about par for the year when facing the Rangers. :sarcasm:

Makes a change from the last ten years ;)

sellout.

80% Devils - 20% Rangers

I'm going tonight and I expect to see a sellout, but those that actually attend I predict about 16,900 fans.

The atmosphere is going to be really good here as I expect given the nature of this intense rivalry. I'm undoubtedly rooting for the Rangers, but I may have to be quiet about it since my uncle works for the Devils. I expect to see about 65-70% Devils fans and 30-35% Rangers fans in the building tonight.

I say like 13,764 if the weather is bad. The weather sucks where I am.

This game is obviously a complete sellout. So is Scott Gomez.

Oh dammit, I didn't want to laugh at that but I did. Here's to hoping for a good clean game tonight where there are no injuries to either side... plus I'd like to see a Ranger victory although I'm pretty sure that sentiment won't be shared by many over here.

yeah I didn't see that quote, but I got a damn good chuckle out of it. I'm not gonna lie though, if Gomez got hurt I wouldn't feel the least bit bad, but I digress. Other than that hopefully it's a clean, and competitive game that has it's share of fire. This seasons games thus far haven't had the flare I think we're all used to.

I'm sure can can probably bet on Avery and/or Clarkson maybe getting the fire started tonight. I sure hope so, I love when the game pisses me off so much I wanna burn down MSG. It's what makes the rivalry so great.

:cheers:

from the tv, sounded like more devs than rags fans. first goal wasnt all that loud, neither was the second, compared to the devils goal. no less than 60-40 iwould guess, and thats conservative.

Do you still want some meths and matches 666???

There were alot, but it's hard to tell because we have absolutely nothing to cheer about.

The overpriced seats were FULL of Ranger fans. Upper deck, not so much.

Dunno what the split was, but it was the most in a long time. Not 80-20 like it was right after the lockout.

I'm surprised the Rangers didn't salute the crowd. The Devils deserve to be shown up.

I would say it was a 70/30 split. 5,000-6,000 NYR fans who all had to pay for the expensive seats (thank you) is a fair assessment. They were extra loud and they have a reason to be, as both NYR fans and their team have owned us this season and have rightfully developed a swagger.

I despise and loathe this, but hey, we have dominated them for so long and it was only a matter of time before things would even out the last 2 seasons and now the tables have momentarily turned.

It was a sellout right? It didn't look like every seat was filled.

The seats that were filled looked like a 55-45 split. At some points I thought it was 50-50 but the Devil fans were loud (so loud I'm starting to be skeptical that some of the boos for Gomez are being piped in) and into it.

It was 70/30 at the most. The Ranger fans were mostly in the $65 seats in 122-124 that no Devil fan in their right mind would pay $100 or $65 for, even for a game like this. There was also a large bunch of them in the $20-$25 seats in 214 and 215 where the Rangers shot twice. I was at the terrace tables by Jimmy Buffs and took note of the noise and people standing when either team scored and it wasn't even close. When Parise scored it was overwhelmingly Devil fans in the place. When the Rangers scored, it was just a few scattered people in most sections and a few larger groups in just a couple sections.

When the Rangers scored it was just as loud on TV as when the Devils scored and the Let's Go Rangers and Let's Go Devils chants were both as loud as each other.

I have a hard time believing 70/30 due to the noise and the amounts of Rangers jerseys in the building as well. With this new arena, you're looking at much closer splits since it's world's easier to get to from NY.

Being close to NY doesn't make a difference since all the Ranger fans live in Jersey anyway. I took the PATH to the game from lower Manhattan and so virtually no Ranger fans coming from NY.

DP is good though

are you implying what i think you are?

Haha no I was just joking.

Rangers fans in NJ :shakehead

**** on a nun

We would never **** on a nun.

Rangers fans in NJ :shakehead

They were all NJ fans until this season with the NYR winning all the games so far vs. the Devils this season.:shakehead

We would never **** on a nun.
**** on a nun's ****

Sorry to bring this back OT, but it was a 17625er last night.

Rangers fans in NJ :shakehead

Pretty much. Unless you were born and raised in NY or are the son/daughter of a Rag fan that moved to NJ from NY, you have no business being a Ranger fan. It's no better than all the Dbag Dallas Cowboy fans all over the country that have never even been to Dallas, TX.

People can be fans of whoever the **** they want. I could care less if a Devils fan comes from Philly or New York or Stockholm or Moscow or Dallas. Bandwagon fans are a different category than fans from enemy "turf".

This logic is so flawed it's not even funny. You relate rooting for a NY team to rooting for a team in ****ing Texas?

The reason I'm a Rangers fan is because the year I got into watching hockey as a little kid all the time was 93/94. I bet if the Debs had won it, I'd be as big a Devil fan as I am a Rangers fan.

The Rangers have been established about 4 times as long as the Devils have. To relate it to being a Dallas fan in our area is just... laughable.

BTW, your location is Manhattan. Rooting for the Devils is like rooting for the Cowboys.

wrong.


i am a ranger fan because i grew up watching hockey with my dad, who has been a ranger fan before the devils even existed, but i guess you are right its the same as rooting for dallas. :sarcasm:

We would never **** on a nun.Sean Avery might.:naughty:

I will never understand growing up in a state and rooting against your home team. It shows a lack of pride in that person.

So lets say hypothetically.....

The Brooklyn Barclay's Center arena was actually built and the Devils would have never gotten their Newark Arena deal approved in the early 2000's, and the team was sold to Bruce Ratner and moved to Brooklyn with the Nets and became the Brooklyn Devils.

And furthemore, let's say the Phoneix Coyotes never got their Jobbing.com Arena built in Glendale, AZ and decided to move east to lets hypothetically say, a new Newark Arena that was finally, approved and built, and became the New Jersey Coyotes.

You'd continue to follow Brodeur, Lamoriello and the Brooklyn Devils and consider yourself of fan of that team, as opposed to changing your allegience to the New Jersey Coyotes.

You know you would and if you'd say otherwise, you'd both be lying. ;)

This logic is so flawed it's not even funny. You relate rooting for a NY team to rooting for a team in ****ing Texas?

The "logic" I was pointing out relates to rooting for a team that isnt geographically from the area where you are from (assuming there IS a team in place in the area that you're from of course). Sorry, but if you were born and raised in Boston, you should be a Red Sox fan, not a Seattle Mariner fan. I tend to find that people who buck this trend just want to be "different" and are generally toolboxes in other facets of their lives.


The reason I'm a Rangers fan is because the year I got into watching hockey as a little kid all the time was 93/94. I bet if the Debs had won it, I'd be as big a Devil fan as I am a Rangers fan.

I grew up a Devils fan when it seemed they lost 284 games per year in an 82 game schedule. That's called character.....or perhaps perseverance.....or self-punishment. Call it whatever you like, but it's anti-rental whatever it is.


BTW, your location is Manhattan.
Live in Manhattan, born in New Jersey; hence a Devils fan.

I will never understand growing up in a state and rooting against your home team.

Amen

wrong.

I grew up watching the Islanders and the Rangers, before there was a Jersey team. But that didn't stop me from switching teams to support my home state.
