The Devils woke up this morning and got themselves pretty great entrance gear.
New Jersey, playing in Saturday night’s Stadium Series game against the Metropolitan Division-rival Flyers, pulled up to MetLife Stadium in tracksuits, paying homage to the hit HBO series “The Sopranos” in the process.
In a video shared by the Devils on X, players from the team entered the football stadium in various-colored track suits, slicked-back hair, white tank tops and jewelry around their necks.
Star forward Jack Hughes was among those joining in on the fun, wearing a blue and white track suit as he jaunted into the building.
Timo Meier and Jesper Bratt even posed for pictures of themselves holding espresso cups to their mouths as if they were Tony Soprano outside of Satriale’s Pork Store.
Fans of the team seemed to approve of the fun outfits.
“This is nails,” wrote one approving fan on X.
“Knew it had to be this, but still 10/10 execution,” wrote Devils play-by-play man Bill Spaulding.
“Did Tommy Devito lead them out?” asked one X user about the Giants backup quarterback.
“This almost makes me want to be a Devils fan,” wrote another.
Their opponents had plenty of fun with their pre-game gear as well, as Philadelphia came off the team bus all dressed up as Sylvester Stallone’s “Rocky,” looking as if they were ready to climb the stairs at the Philadelphia Museum of Art.
Both of the teams hope their pregame fun translates to success on the ice as they jockey for position in the Eastern Conference.
