Behind the visiting team's bench, fans held up large cardboard heads of the cast members of the MTV reality show "Jersey Shore."
The gimmick might have worked after the Kings overwhelmed the Devils, 4-0 for a 3-0 series lead. It looks like New Jersey will be doing more hand-wringing than fist-pumping leading up to Game 4.
There was no way the Devils players could avoid seeing the giant heads of The Situation, Pauly-D, J-Woww and the usually pint-sized Snooki being waved behind their bench.
Ronnie, Sammi Sweetheart, Vinny, Angelina or Deena were no where to be seen.
It was pretty funny to see the enormous heads bobbing up and down behind the players but, in reality, the Devils don't have any players from Jersey. Who knows if coach Peter DeBoer or the players even knew who they were. Maybe if they held up giants heads of reality show stars from Stockholm or Moosejaw— they might have been in on the joke.
Anyway, kudos for the creativity.
If the Devils manage to pull out a victory in game 4, maybe New Jersey fans can make giant cutout heads of the characters from "90210" or "The Real Housewives of Orange County?" I imagine closeups of those old broads would just be plain scary.
Guess what, the joke's on the Kings fans (and whoever wrote this story) - the cast of "Jersey Shore" aren't from New Jersey, they're from New York.
ReplyDeleteWhats the difference?
ReplyDeleteThe difference is, neither the cast of that stupid show nor the show itself represent New Jersey. So people who need to mock others to make themselves look good should at least mock something from New Jersey, otherwise they make themeselves look like petty morons. Oh, wait, people who mock anything to make themselves look good ARE petty morons.
DeleteIt's funny. Relax jerky.
Deletethe joke is that the devils are down 3-0
ReplyDeleteIf the Devels play their best hockey and the Kings beat them then the Kings deserve to win. And likewise if the Devela win. Meanwhile, strap on some skates and try out for the team - let's see how well you play! Put up or shut up.
DeleteThe joke is you would take this article so serious.
ReplyDeleteThey're mocking the state of New Jersey you dimwit, doesn't matter if none of the cast is from Jersey. Jersey still is the home of fake n bake, gtl, hair sprayed guido's.
ReplyDeleteLike I said, people who mock others are typically petty morons. But there's no point in discussing it because you'll just reply with more ignorant trash. Suffice to say you have never been to New Jersey, otherwise you would know that the "guido" population is a very small minority. They probably have a few guidos where you come from as well.
DeleteThe Devils are a NY Team just like every other team that plays in North Jersey, so the cast still fits plus its just plain funny. But if this gets to be a houswifes thing I think NJ takes it they make hockey players look polite!
ReplyDeleteEven better was the Doc Brown from Back to the Future behind Brodeur yelling MAAAAARTY!!!
ReplyDeletejust for the record 2 of the JS cast are from NJ.. Mike and Sammy
ReplyDeleteI was just thinking that if I were sitting behind one of the fans holding up the giant cutout, I would be so annoyed! Seriously, could anyone even see?
ReplyDeleteFrom what i seen so far...new jersey has some of the ugliest in the U.S.!
ReplyDeleteMaybe when the Kings play Saturday night in NJ, their fans will hold up big signs of N.W.A.
ReplyDeleteHey dummy.
ReplyDeleteWhat's nwa?
Screw the "Jersey Shore" 'Tards, who was the crazy Blonde behind their Bench???
ReplyDeleteDisplayed above is more evidence, supplied by Anonymous, about why most of us hate New Jersey. I have lived on the East Coast for all my life and visit NJ on regular occassion. It sucks. The guido pop. up in North Jersey is the norm, not the exception.
