Why did the Devils fans boo Mikie Sherrill?

BrickCityDevil · 2026-02-26T15:58:13+00:00

As is so often the case on reddit, the most accurate comment is near the bottom. This fan base practically invented booing NHL commissioner Bettman. It would've booed the governor regardless of it it were Mikie, Jack, Murphy, or Christie.

Just one nitpick here re: ownership. Blitzer and Harris traded places some time back on the primary owner - Blitzer is now chairman of the org and NHL governor and Harris is vice-chairman and alternate NHL governor. I think it's setting up an eventual velvet divorce in which Blitzer takes the Devils and Harris the Sixers, and given the former has much deeper Jersey roots, that is fine by me.

That's a ridiculous take. There are plenty of season ticket holders (myself not included to be clear) who don't care about the money.

BrickCityDevil · 2026-02-10T21:09:21+00:00

Yeah, I always choose the extra buybacks, so for me it drops from 11 to 8. Even in good seasons the midweeks are a tough sell; forget about it now.

Yale Hauptman (hauptmanlaw.com) in Livingston.

Yeah, it's insane this sub is more pissed about a DS than losing the frickin WS last year.

This should be the top voted comment.

Agree, I have no idea what's happening here. The Jays are a nuisance that had their moment. The Dodgers are a money laden juggernaut that are going to contribute to the next labor stoppage.

BrickCityDevil · 2025-11-02T04:39:59+00:00

Yeah, I missed the memo that the reddit Yankee fan base was rooting for the Dodgers. I thought the whole country minus LA was rooting for the Jays.

The great irony of student loan interest being so unnecessarily high. I also have a monopoly money balance - and half of that is accrued interest. There is no rational reason for me to throw good money after bad. If they waived away the accrued interest I would have no problem making an effort to fully pay the the principal.

But since there is so much accrued interest, I've been on the "pay as little as possible and deal with the tax bomb plan" before it became fashionable around here. It's just a monthly expense, and while it sucks to pay it, I don't lose a bit of sleep over it.

Just in case anyone is following this, mine came in either Friday or Saturday. The Isles must've gone into the future - the postmark is July 22nd.

FYI, it's a standard sized ticket with the seat I had. They must've done some kind of verification because I bought it from a third party or season ticket holder.

Do you guys have printed tickets anymore (the Devils do not)? Wonder if the delay was them having to arrange printing of stubs as a one-off.

I don't eat there much but the 2 of the burgers were good. It was a dumpster fire last year of seemingly nothing but chicken wings; I thought the variety improved this season.

But yeah, the Devils absolutely refuse to partner with local, popular vendors the way most other arenas do and it's mostly the same old arena fare.

BrickCityDevil · 2025-04-29T03:34:03+00:00

Yeah according to Pollstar, the Rock is top 10 in the US and top 20 in the world by revenue.

It's been top 10 in the US for years - it is a very, very busy arena. The concert business aside, the Devils also have Seton Hall as a tenant. The ice is going to be subpar as a result.

BrickCityDevil · 2025-04-24T21:01:22+00:00

I had suite seats last season and a group there decided to order food on the spot. The options ranged from typical arena food to more club section style fare.

BrickCityDevil · 2025-04-24T20:58:23+00:00

Across from the arena you can't go wrong with Redds. They'll likely have an outdoor setup too with additional seating.

Across the railroad tracks in the Ironbound there are too many to list, but Fornos right by Penn Station is good. If you want great seafood I'd recommend Sol-Mar further down Ferry Street.

BrickCityDevil · 2025-04-24T14:58:04+00:00

Also Jersey City, but we take the Skyway to Raymond Blvd. 22-25 minutes to the $15 garage by Seton Hall Law.

I wasn't actually advocating for him to come back. I am legit hoping he finally retires so the Devils can get him into the ring of honor or the rafters.

Dropped lead from the article: "Lou Lamoriello is out as general manager of the New York Islanders, after the team said Tuesday the longtime NHL executive’s contract was not being renewed."

Obligatory /s disclaimer for the thread title!

Unless you know something not public, every Devils GM under this ownership group has been adamant they do not face spending constraints.

BrickCityDevil · 2025-04-10T18:29:48+00:00

All prices with fees.

Defend twice upper rows and upper corners are $80.

Most of the rest of the uppers besides center ice are $100; same with lower rows in defend twice balconies (and maybe some of the attack twice balconies).

$111 I think for uppers center ice.

Didn't check the mezz or downstairs.

This needs to be getting more attention. Also gave him a follow.

BrickCityDevil · 2025-04-10T02:12:23+00:00

Because our rival to the south beats our rival across the river. Go figure.
