Although I really enjoyed reading the Devils facts because I am a Brodeur and Parise fan. I don't know how accurate they are nor do I care because this does not belong in the GFX Request section. Plus you are banned. If anything I will be nice and move this to Sports I guess. I really don't want to move this to Archives.
