A Trip Down Memory Lane

May 25, 2012 by Schnookie

There’s been all kinds of talk about some stupid guy doing some stupid thing against the Devils exactly 18 years ago, and frankly, we think that’s all stupid. We weren’t hockey fans yet way back then, so all this nostalgia has us wondering what we were up to on this day in 1994. Pookie was wrapping up her freshman year of high school, Schnookie was a couple of weeks away from graduating, and we were dreading the fast-approaching graduation-gift trip we were going to have to take with our grandparents. (The trip itself was an absolutely amazing tour of Switzerland, followed by a few days in Paris. The price we had to pay was spending all that time with our grandfather, nervously tittering at every racist and xenophobic thing he said, and recognizing where the “ugly American” stereotype comes from.) More importantly, though, we were huge NBA fans, and the Conference Finals were just under way. Looking at Wikipedia, it appears that on this day 18 years ago we were getting ourselves all psyched up for some hawt Rockets/Jazz Game 2 action. Which, in hindsight, seems preposterous. Who voluntarily watches Rockets/Jazz games?? That was just the undercard, though, because for all our self-identification as NBA fans, our primary concern was the Knicks.

The sexy, run-and-gun, flashy-scoring, mid-’90s Knicks. Wait, no… they were the opposite of that. Heh.

On this day 18 years ago we were also reveling in what Wikipedia reports was a 100-89 win by the Knicks over the Pacers, which sounds like about 188 more points than we remember being scored in that series. The Pat Riley Knicks were sluggish, thuggish, low-scoring, defensively smothering, and basically seemed, in comparison to all their opponents, talentless and slow. We adored them. So you can imagine how, when we jumped to the NHL, we were already on the fast-track to becoming fans of the late-Lemaire Era Devils. (“Wait, there’s a team that’s even more plodding, lifeless, and underachieving in the playoffs? Sign us up!”) Actually, now that we’re looking back at this golden time in our lives, we have to wonder… were the Devils reaching out to us across sports? Were they sending their insidious trapping tentacles into the NBA’s fanbase and plucking out the choicest morsels (because we’re nothing if not choice)? Did they somehow influence David Stern’s beautiful league toward the dark side of Uglyball, all to lure in the impressionably defense-minded fans? Did the Devils try to kill basketball at the same time they were killing hockey??? When we look at the big picture, that seems like a far more significant “this day in sports, 18 years ago” story than some bullshit guarantee/hat trick combo from a self-aggrandizing bald guy. So there.

I just want to say that when I come to IPB I think of you as obsessed fans just as likely to stab yourself in the eye with a soldering iron as I am, first, then female second. Then I try to check out your rack without being too obvious. :P

Soooo… anyone else here a little bit tense?
on May 25, 2012 at 8:18 pm Schnookie

Did Zach shave? He looks like Boxworthy doesn’t approve of long playoff runs.

Let’s go devils! That’s probably because I really don’t watch enough devils hockey, but I’m still not over the fact that there’s a Gio playing for the Devils. Every time he’s mentioned I smile.

You have such a way with words, Frisby. :D

I managed to block the game out of my head at work so I could act like a normal person out there in the world where not everyone willingly turns on a television event that makes me want to stab my eyes with a soldering iron, but then someone would come up to me and be like, “Oh, you must be so happy about the Devils” and then it would all come rushing back. Oh, but I did see someone else with a Devils license plate today! It was only the second one I’ve seen outside of our driveway.

I’m beginning to wonder if Carter’s moustache hypnotises Prawn.

Stick around, Grrrreg — you’re clearly doing something right here! :D
on May 25, 2012 at 9:00 pm Grrrreg

Hmmmm, I think I’ll pass on the rest of this game, since it’s getting really late. At least, the devils are gonna win this in my dreams! Good luck everyone!!

on May 25, 2012 at 9:18 pm Schnookie

Dude, did the Devils think this wouldn’t happen if they spent the entire period in their own end?

(And yeah, that was shameful by Bernier.)

S’ok, Amy, I’m still blaming Grrreg.

Glad that period is over.

I’ve been doing busy work all period — taking out the garbage, closing up the house to turn on the AC, cleaning out my email inbox… Is it over yet?
on May 25, 2012 at 10:11 pm Schnookie

Carter’s mustache is fired.

No. They are still torturing us.

on May 25, 2012 at 10:14 pm Pookie

I voted for turning on the AC because I knew the soldering iron would make it too warm in here. It’s set to Intensely Hot.

I think the time to produce a diamond has been reduced from ten minutes to one.

Wow, the Devils look TERRIBLE. Was that PP goal their high-water mark for the season?

Are you at a five-diamond-a-minute pace yet?

Not yet, but I’m sure it will be after intermission.

I have to go deal with the garbage during the intermission…which seems sadly appropriate.

And yes, so happy to say “So long, Road Spikes!”

So, when this season started, I thought this would be a good season if they could find someone to take over for Marty, and a pick higher than 4th. This? THIS? WHAAAAT? THIS? I. THIS? WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, it’s very satisfying. Wait until you see the amazing shiny suit Duguay has on. I shouldn’t continue to be stunned by the dreck he wears, but I can’t help it.

Oooooh a Torteralla press conference! I’d love to watch but I need a cigarrette.
on May 25, 2012 at 11:19 pm Schnookie

Duguay’s suit was a wonder to behold. What is that shit made out of? And should I think about using it to make, like, a solar oven for my backyard?

Oooooh a Torteralla press conference! I’d love to watch but I need a cigarrette.

I’m not sure he can help the smugness, I think it’s his default setting. Given the fact that he’d probably like to erupt into stuff that’s unprintable, for him, that was pretty good.

Yeah, I was hoping for some Doan-esque lack of sportsmanship, but sadly, he was chatty and gracious. Damn this current iteration of the Rangers, with their all-around professionalism and lack of emotional immaturity! :P
on May 25, 2012 at 11:49 pm Myra's Hub

Watching the press conference, Marty’s name plate is old and faded compared with to Henrique’s new and shiny one. Bet if they got Marty a new name plate he would play like it’s 2000.

Much delayed update from the Rock: no owners en route to the game this time, but a Rangers fan sat across the aisle from me (at least his hat indicated he was a Rangers fan). He got quite upset though, when the outlet he tried to use to charge his laptop didn’t work. I tried to take that as a I sign.

I have to say this: I’ve been going to Devil’s games for almost 20 years. These crowds have been hands down the best Devils’ crowds I’ve ever seen. And tonight was easily the bet crowd for a Rangers game I’ve ever seen. I don’t imagine I’ll ever forget singing “Glory Days” with 15,000 people. So Jersey. So Devils. So good.

We want the Kings!!!!!!!!!!!!!
on May 26, 2012 at 3:06 am Mike in Idaho

Justice triumphs again! This new dog I got is obviously good luck! Here’s a pic of my wife and the new dog, alas I was too lazy to take celebration pics of the house tonight. I just had a good feeling that tonight would work out.

Wooooohooooooo!!!! Isn’t this the perfect scenario? You’re going to the SCF, AND YOU ELIMINATED THE RANGERS IN THE PROCESS! So happy.

Also, I feel like I really dodged a bullet there. When I saw the Rangers tied it, I was like ‘uh oh, the Ookies are not gonna be happy at me leaving this game after the 1st period!” I really owe one to Saint Henrique.

Now bring on Beaks and Farter! (By the way Schnookie, isn’t it Farter on your avatar? Are you gonna keep it during the Finals?)
on May 26, 2012 at 1:54 pm Myra's Hub

I woke up and the Devils still won. It wasn’t a dream!!!!!!!

However, there should be an immediate investigation to see if Frisby Bowl is fixed.
on May 26, 2012 at 3:07 pm Schnookie

So Jersey. So Devils. So good.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! That is SO awesome! The crowds really have been fantastic, and that’s just heartwarming. I mean, the Devils? With amazing crowds? It’s like it’s all finally coming together! :D I’m so happy you could be there to see the game in person — what a thrill!

Mike, Justice is absolutely adorable!!!! (And your wife is very foxy. Well done all around. :P) And he’s OBVIOUSLY good luck. You should get him a little Devils sweater!

Grrrreg, we tried not to blame you for leaving. But I can’t say we succeeded. It’s a very good thing that Henrique had your back. Heh. And not only did we knock out the Rangers, but we also beat the Flyers! Is this the best playoffs EVER? (I can’t change my avatar. What if that caused bad luck???)

However, there should be an immediate investigation to see if Frisby Bowl is fixed.

:^:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: It’s all suspect to me. Hmph. And :^:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: to it not being a dream! We were doing our morning inspection of the crops in the garden today, and Pookie was pointing out all the little baby peppers coming in on their plants.

on May 26, 2012 at 7:36 pm 40'sGuy

At first I was just glad we made the playoffs. THEN I was just glad we were able to finally make it out of the first round. THEN I realized we were the best team still playing in the East, and was happy we made it that far. NOW we’re in the Cup!!! Everyone keep doing EXACTLY what you’ve been doing, it’s been working so far! (I have sacrificed looking socially acceptable for the past *however long these playoffs have been going* by growing playoff facial hair)

on May 28, 2012 at 1:42 pm Schnookie

I agree with you, 40′sGuy, that each step along the way here has been like, “Okay, I’m happy just with that.” And then they just keep going! And toss in the added bonus of knocking out the Flyers AND the Rangers along the way! No matter what happens from here out, this has just been a stupendous year. (And I’m trying not to change a thing. But flies are starting to circle my lucky clothes… :P)

ted5th, I have to agree — what a DELIGHTFUL Sunday night we had. Of sitting back and thinking about how sad all those Rangers fans are. Heh.

I’d just like to pass on a hilarious Blobby quote:

Hall of Famers like Scott Stevens and Martin Brodeur made me see what mattered most in a hockey player: humility and work ethic.

I don’t doubt Blobby’s work ethic. But, apparently he never did learn the meaning of the word “humility”. Or, maybe he learned that it was important, but it wasn’t something he “did”.
on May 28, 2012 at 8:07 pm Schnookie

Or, maybe he learned that it was important, but it wasn’t something he “did”.

:^::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Yeah, as far as Blobby’s concerned, saying and doing might as well be the same thing.
