Actually pretty conflicting being a Rangers fan in NJ. I occasionally hear/see remarks from other fans about how much of a dump NJ is.
Yeah, yeah. That's what they all say.
I actually think you and I had a discussion about New Jersey once. Maybe it wasn't you. Main boards, I was *****ing about Camden and Trenton and all that. Not that I think New Jersey is a dump (they've got some of the most affluent suburbs in all of America).
Also, you would not believe how many people over here ask me how I could be a Rangers fan in Jersey.
The city is 45 ****ing minutes away. Apparently I might as well be on a different planet.

Well that's fine because places like Camden and Newark are **** holes. Seriously, unless you plan on committing homicide or selling narcotics, don't go there.
When was the last time (if ever) a goalie got 3 shutouts in a single series?
Very real possibility that hank picks up another shutout in this series.
Now he won't

Coming in the game, the lady told me I was not allowed to have a towel. Eff that, I'm getting a towel, I paid just like everyone else(and I happen to have a sister who is a Devils fan, who would love the towel as a keepsake). Anyway, what a joke...I had to argue with her and finally she gave me one. Then it was on to buy some food...the lady their thought it was also hilarious to tell me she wouldnt serve me because I was a rangers fan.
I am so glad that at the Garden all fans are treated appropriately by staff, because that kind of stuff is just downright embarrassing IMO.
What'd you expect from an organization that ran a #noblue campaign?
You know what I would've done if some ***** really gave me a hard time about serving food? I'd spit it in and accuse her of doing it. 2 can play at that game.
They said no goalie has gotten 2 shutouts in a single series since 97 when richter did it.
So it'd have to be more then a few years back
Per Wikipedia:
Quote:
On April 13, 2007, in the Stars first and only playoff series of the 2006–07 season, Turco recorded his first ever playoff shutout against the Vancouver Canucks to tie the series 1–1. After the game, he stated, "We know we can beat these guys here [Vancouver], or at home, or anywhere."[2]
Turco went on to lose against the Canucks at home in game three, dropping a 2–1 overtime victory, when Taylor Pyatt got a quick one-time shot off a feed from Bryan Smolinski. In game 4, once again the Stars could not put up a win, losing to the Canucks 2–1 off of goals from Mattias Ohlund, then the game winner from Trevor Linden. The Stars then went on to win game 5 in the series with 1–0 OT win. Brenden Morrow scored the game's only goal 6:22 into the first OT period, allowing Turco to get his second career playoff shutout. Turco followed this up with his third shutout of the series in a 2–0 win. The series ended on Monday, April 23, 2007 with a score of 4–1 in favor of Vancouver, with Trevor Linden again scoring the eventual game-winner in the 2nd period.
The three shutouts posted by Turco in that series represent a record amount of shutouts in a single playoff series, a mark that has been tied by the New Jersey Devils' goalie Martin Brodeur, the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim' goaltender Jean-Sebastien Giguere, and Philadelphia Flyers' goalie Michael Leighton.
Doesn't matter. Lundpads is just lucky because of that post. Product of the system. Chest protector is so big. Bad ice. Blocking shots. Inside job. Obama was born in Kenya.

yes i know. Don't sell your tickets to rangers fans campaign. If I were a devils fan and A Rangers fan offered me $600 for my $300 tickets, higher than anyone else, I would call Lou up and tell him he better fork over $600 to me if he really cares about keeping Rangers fans out of the building, you know he wont, so to hell with him.

Lou is actually the one that got the campaign pulled. He didn't like it and told them to knock it off

I thought you should know that, I bit the bullet. I'm going to prom.
Rangers better do me justice and win this series in such a way that no games fall on the 9th.

The idiots at marketing there came up with this. Not Lou.
If Lou came up with this it wouldn't have been taken down shortly after it was put up.

Did the same thing in '08 for game 5. Advertised the first x amount of fans got a towel. I saw a staff member walk up to a Ranger fan on the escalator and rip the towel out of his hand. He tried to get it back and they threatened to kick him out. He relented. Another guy asked for the towel when the employee withheld it... same threats. Say they have the right to refuse entry to anyone and arguing over the towel will get you there.
Because intimidation starts with the towel boy and carries over to the ice. Winning is an organization wide philosophy and slighting a fan is the first step towards winning, until they cheat and block shots.

Ripping something out of someone's hand can be considered assault, and it's a great way to get your ass kicked. If someone I don't know is trying to forcibly grab something out of my hand then punching them in the face is pretty high up on how I might potentially react.
Legally, they can refuse to give you a towel, they can also refuse to let you in. If they already gave you the towel, they can't grab it back out of your hands using force.
