Devils FANS BELIEVE

For everyone who think that devils fans are disillusioned about making the playoffs. We are not, we just believe in and support our team. New Jersey Fans have always had the persona of being fair weathered. This season shows that the Devils have a real fan base. The fans are as devoted as any others. We believe we have a great team and they are playing great hockey.

Earlier in the season everyone was saying how terrible this team was among many other things. Instead of the fan base breaking apart it grew closer.

New Jersey Devils are 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. The whole fan base wants the team to know that we are behind them, that “WE BELIEVE”. 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. Also, 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. 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 fans are! Mission Control has launched and has rallied fans together at games and online. The players themselves have acknowledged how much louder and supportive the fans have been. After the 1-0 Win over the Rangers, Kovalchuck thanked the fans for their support this whole season. Other players, like Clarkson, have pointed to the stands during the games letting us know they hear us!

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. We are not disillusioned we just BELIEVE in our team, and won’t give up. What is wrong with that?

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.

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.
