What is "Slapshotz"?

I was doing a search on the Devils in the trademark database, and stumbled upon the newest trademark registered by the Devils, a (rather ugly) service mark. Can anyone make sense of this?

Maybe it's going to be one of the new bars or restaurants

It's what the Goal Bar turns into after Friday and Saturday night games. They throw a DJ up there and think it becomes a club.

That looks like it belongs on that website I made in HTML. :(

:laugh: So true.

It's a movie about a group of career-AHLers playing on an NHL team in New Jersey that find out that the team is being moved to Las Vegas at the end of the season. Jason Bateman plays David Clarkson, Eddie Murphy plays Oduya, Salvador, and Weekes, and Stephen Gionta plays Brian Gionta.

I thought this was going to be about our old fondling mascot.

We had a sex offender mascot?

slapshot the sex offending hockey puck.

We had a sex offender mascot?

Yes. For 92-93 the first year we had a mascot it was a giant hockey puck with devil horns. Apprently he fondled some of the female vendors at the Meadowlands while in costume. He ended up getting arrested and Slap shot disappeared for obvious reasons.

The next year the current mascot (93-94) showed up, which is a fer better mascot than a puck.

I started a thread about him a few months back, looking for a decent resolution photo of Slapshot for my Devils collection.

Came up empty. It's as is his very existence was scrubbed from history. So if anyone has something, I'm still looking.

The ultimate would be to find one of the glossy mascot 8x10s they give to schoolchildren, but alas, it's merely an EBAY dream. :(



EDIT: And for those too young to remember, honest to God he was (IMO) creepy as **** and probably scared as many small children as he brought joy to.

Yeap.

I thought we just had a sex offender goal celebration song... hmph. I'll be damned.

I feel like when I see that logo, I should hear some cheezy 80s sound synthesizer.

Wasn't Megan's Law started in New Jersey?
I remember being really young when that happened, and thinking it was close to Brick.

From wiki: Megan's home state of New Jersey passed the first so-called "Megan's Law" in 1994.[5]

Yes, I remember that. My brother and I talk about him sometimes, and it almost became an urban legend. Thank God you found this article that proves it really did happen.

Although, he must not have been very discriminating if he was fondling Meadowlands vendors....ewwwwww.

I could have made a better logo with an etch a sketch.

Pierre McGuire was born here, of course it was started here.

That's such poor taste. Which is why it is funny.

I heard they're trying to put a similar law into effect in Canada now that Pierre is there, but they're going to call it Sidney's Law.
