Devils Fans Stand Strong!

This has been one of the worst starts ever for the Devils. But, just when you’d think fans would begin jumping ship, many stand tall.

New Jersey Devils are trying to come together, using their blogs, tweets and status updates to lead the way. There is a uniform voice beginning to develop among the faithful. One saying let's unite; let’s figure out a way to give our team back the advantage of home ice. There is a group of us that want the team to know that we are behind them. That we’ve seen them do it before and we believe they can do it again.

The team is listening. For example, fans pushed for and got a "fan section" at The Rock in order to jack the volume of "Let's go Devils" chants. Then, friday night, the team offered discounted seats for this section. The fact that the front office listens to Devil’s fans is great news for all fans.

Now, we acknowledge that some sections that have always been loud and/or insane... 214, 230-233 come to mind. However wouldn’t it be better for the team and for the win column if the entire crowd were that loud and into the game?

The Devils are making an effort. Consider the "professional" fan. It was fun and increased the cheers for the few weekend games Cameron [[[Link to this guy’s wikipedia or whatever link you can find on him so people can see what you’re talking about]]] was available. The key is making the fans a part of something bigger. Whether chanting at The Rock or commenting on Facebook any fan who wants to be part of this team can make a difference.

And the fact is, the Devils are making that easier by reaching out to grow the fan base with twitter, Facebook and online contests. Despite this year’s bad start, the Devils deserve a strong fan base. Lou built one of the true dynasties in sports and we’ve been lucky to call that team ours for over a decade.

So, fellow devoted Devils fans, let’s continue to stand together and stay engaged. If anyone has comments about the added section please post it. Any additional ideas can be shared here or at The Fans Voice

And don’t forget... Many other blogs exist as well where ideas fly... lets unite as a fan base and increase this fan awareness –making the Devils feel at home at The Rock. Who knows? Maybe what this team needs is some good karma.
