xxchaznjxx Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 I don't mind Marty not being moved, but then why the hell is he playing in such an important game tonight? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devilsfan118 Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 Well now I'm worried. Marty better keep his mouth shut for the rest of the season if he's here. And PDB better roll Cory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadDog2020 Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 i am fairly convinced something like this happened. i'm not even kidding - lou was so furious at TG that it seemed out of character. and there's nowhere else for him to land so we're stuck with him. Gun to my head, that's what I'd guess. There was too much smoke to the Minnesota rumors for there not to be a fire. Lou has been known to tell teams he'd nix trades if they leaked info to the media. It all adds up for me... Well now I'm worried. Marty better keep his mouth shut for the rest of the season if he's here. And PDB better roll Cory. Yeah... Pete scares me more than Marty.

I don't think that's true. Brodeur was named starter tonight, the Wild could've easily held off until tomorrow on a Bryzgalov deal. The 'leaks' came from a New York based paper.

flyboyike Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 As I'm not much of an expert, can someone explain to me under what circumstances anyone would want Marty who at the very most might have another year in him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devil Dan 56 Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 I don't think Lou nixed the deal, if there was one. It makes more sense to me if Minny nixed it when Lou balked at a 4th rd pick. Minny had options (Bryz, Marty, Halak), and the Devils had almost none. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lateralous Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 This isn't good. I don't see how they can keep Brodeur at this point. So much drama surrounding a backup goalie and I have no faith in DeBoer to manage the situation. We're slowly becoming Vancouver East.

MadDog2020 Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 Its my sincere hope that upon his retirement, Lou writes a tell-all book. Every hockey fan on earth would probably buy it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So much drama surrounding a backup goalie and I have no faith in DeBoer to manage the situation. We're slowly becoming Vancouver East. Vancouver had (and has) a goalie with a massive long term contract and a young goalie pushing him. We have an older goalie who's contract expires in July and a clear #1 in Schneider. It's not ideal, but it's not close to that mess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After the trade deadline, you know Chere's moving onto asking Marty about retirement ten times a week. "Oh you know, I'd like to play next year but I'm not really getting a chance to show what I've got here..." etc etc. Just..unnecessary drama.

But Schneider has still played 8 of the last 9, and 11 of the last 14, including 7 straight with both sides of back to backs at one point. He's clearly the guy now. Marty just can't match him.

NJDevs4978 Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 The Wild could have done the Bryzgalov deal days ago...if Lou didn't nix a Marty trade the timing of the Bryzgalov deal is a HUGE coincidence... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are a day before the trade deadline. I don't think it's that big of a coincidence. Remember, none of the Minnesota reporters had seen anything that said Marty was going there.

I don't think so. He isn't the guy until Brodeur is gone. Cory had his first "bad" game. If Brodeur puts together a good game tonight, who the f knows where this goes. One more so-so game from Cory and Pete could go with Brodeur. He never said during Cory's stretch that he is the guy or it his time. Unfortunately, Brodeur's legacy or name has been a factor all season. It's my opinion that it continues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deboer can say all he wants about Marty earning this start, but I don't think there's anyone in the organization who looks at the situation and calls Marty the starter. This start comes down to that there was a chance it would be his last home game. No matter what happens tomorrow, I think Cory has 4 of the next 5 after the deadline. If the Devils have any interest in the playoffs, it's gotta be all Cory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sundstrom Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 the only other thing i can think of is that a 4th wasn't worth it to lou to deal marty. if you want to take a previous poster who said marty already asked out and it was lou that wanted to make sure the return was worth it as fact, that is a reasonable explanation. cory hasn't been lights out in his games back (although he made two great saves late vs columbus) so perhaps there is a 10% hockey reason for starting marty tonight. i will say that i think it's almost impossible he's dealt now because there's really nowhere for him to land.

Neb00rs Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 How silly. Lou didn't nix any deal, that's bad business and Lou wouldn't be so petty. Again, though - this thread should never have been started. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devils Pride 26 Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 CONSPIRACY ALERT: Lou never wanted to trade Marty at all. So HE leaks it to Deb Kaufman. Deb does her job. Lou gets all mad and now has a reason to nix the deal. Marty stays and Lou can say he tried to move him but there were no buyers. It's the perfect crime Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
