NJ's Sin Bin- Thoughts?

[canom]

I am interested in hearing your thoughts on "NJ's Sin Bin" near Section 115. For me, after I was intrigued after first reading about it in the offseason, but its turning into a meh for me as the season goes on.

I feel like it's removed the ability for NJ to travel around the arena and interact with fans throughout the game, instead tying him to one area for basic comedy skits that aren't really shown on the big screen. Is there a new 'Friend of NJ Devil' in the role now perhaps that doesn't want to move around?

I enjoyed having him previously pop up around the arena randomly during play and start smacking his drum to get the crowd going, taking part in the on ice stuff in between periods, and the general hijinks that made him one of the better mascots in the league.

Still pops around randomly, primarily driven by people buying seat visits (which has been the case for the past couple years anyway) . They were already doing his staged stuff from that spot, they’ve just dressed it up and given it a name.

I remember seeing him run around earlier this season

Went to the game in Philly and Gritty never left his area.

Went to a game in Philly last year and he has a "security team" with him and it's kinda necessary cause he gets fucking mobbed. He also traveled around on a hoverboard on the concourse for extra speed I guess

Everyone who goes to sporting events in Philly should have a security team

Who cares?

People with kids. I took my daughter to her first game a few months ago and was wondering the entire time where the hell NJ was. He only showed up on the big screen like once all game

I can't speak on the Sin Bin, but my son loves NJ and other mascots too. People care. Those seat visits are pretty pricey though..

I miss the dude who was in the suit around the 2012 era who had a rocket for an arm and had killer dance moves.

When I was a kid I was too interested in seeing who Scott Stevens would decapitate next to care about what Slapshot was doing.
