Brandon
It was in today’s paper (The Shanny tryout) Brooks titled it “Shanny getting the Bernie Treatment”
Trying to equate a guy who was on two 2nd round exit teams in two years to a guy who was o 4 world championships teams and played here for 16 years

Even though I love Shanny, and want him back, there is NO COMPARING the two situations

25-35 if you include all the food vendors so Doc Emerick has something to talk about during the game.

ahh…thanks. I should wait until at least 7a.m. before reading ANYTHING! Or have a cup of coffee first.

What’s the over/under on attendance for the NJD preseason games? 25…35 people? NOT including the players or officials.

Beer- the article on TSN said, “in front of an announced crowd of 17,616.” From what you can see of the lower level during the play it looked a little barren, and you could hear the nice echo of play in an empty-ish arena.

Don’t see the article from Brooks on the post’s website re: Shanny try-out. Can someone post the link please?

Thanks!

I read it on tsn this a.m. It said something about ‘in front of 17,xxx fans in attendance.’

beer – wasn’t the 17K “announced attendance”? meaning that 17K tickets sold for the game, but it could have been a lot less people ACTUALLY there? like if they have 17K season ticket holders that HAVE to buy those games, but don’t show…? I don’t really remember them showing the crowd for us to judge that way…

If mercenaries like Shanahan were not overpaid beyond sanity they could retire with dignity, not try to hold on with no gas left in the tank – an especially sad ending for a Hall of Famer.

I wish you good luck, Brendan, you are too classy to be a fourth line “digger,” or don’t you know that? You had a better career than the Hollweg’s and Strudwick’s of the world, why would you disgrace yourself to skate on a line with baloney and cheese lunch pail guys like that? Say goodbye, please!

jeever – re: crowd noise. I heard them say that too, and I don’t doubt that it was ‘pumped in’. Remember what 2 idiots we’re talking about though. There were 17k+ in that building for the 1st preseason game. I hope we can represent like that tonight.
