Back in 1990 my son had recently been diagnosed with leukemia. I kept trying to find things that would bring him an escape from dealing with it. One of my friend's friends, Sandy offered us tickets to go see the Devils play. A word about Sandy, she is UNIQUE. While her husband could offer her diamonds and furs, she asked for season tickets to the Devils hockey games. I had never been to a game but had seen a few games on TV when there was nothing else on.
My son was excited and off we went. The seats were killer, only 9 rows behind the goal. Excitement was incredible and within twenty minutes we were hooked. That year Martin Brodeur I believe made his first appearance. Throughout that year and the next Sandy often gave us her tickets. We had a great time. We got souvenirs. From then on I became a fan.
When I met a Bruins fan I sensed trouble. I just knew though that if Rob SAW the Devils play he would be pulled in. This year, in the Fall I was finally able to take him to a game. I mean he's only been in Jersey for FIVE years. I have made him a promise. If we come into a landfall I will buy season tickets. He's hooked just like I am now and I am elated that once again they are in the playoff. These guys are just kicking ass and taking names. OH my Devils I just feel that this may be another Stanley cup year for you. ((((((((((((((((Devils)))))))))))))))) you make me proud of New Jersey. Thank you Brodeur, Gomez, Elias and all the others for all the wonderful moments watching you talented guys has brought me and the important men in my life.
