Mitico12 Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 This is our second number "9" to hold the "C"...Kirk Muller must be jealous... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grcenter47 Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 i dont care who has the C. its a stupid fabric letter attached to a jersey. if the C makes you play better, then that is a serious problem i want this team to win the cup. i dont care if we have one C, 3 A's, no letters... we need to focus on our mistakes from last year and improve and excel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lucifer91 Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 I actually don't like Marty's comment. Sometimes he should keep stuff to himself, thats something that could create bad blood in the locker room Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJDevs4978 Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 Well Marty didn't mince words....and I love it. http://www.nj.com/devils/index.ssf/2011/10/devils_name_zach_parise_captai.html lol Marty's a curmedgeon at this point in his career. But he's also a fan and wants the best for the team after he's gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Onddeck Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 i dont think he was necessarily calling Parise out.. maybe putting a little pressure but i hope parise will just rise up and prove he will be a great captain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps Marty is very "matter-of-fact" when being asked how Parise will stack up against Scotty S., Scotty N., etc., by basically saying "one year isn't a good gauge for evaluating his captaincy. If he stays then we can really see how effective he is..." He isn't calling out anything...wishful thinking on your part... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueSkirt Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 Kovalchuk's wordsmithery LOL, two words I never considered that I would see together ! I'm sure we could think of others that "either had but didn't show", or maybe did "display" the kind of fire we've missed since #4 retired, but Zach is the first one that comes to my mind.

If you read the previous sentence (which was omitted here), it states: "Goalie Martin Brodeur was asked how he thought Parise would measure up to past captains like Scott Stevens, Scott Niedermayer, Elias, Bruce Driver and Jamie Langenbrunner." Just goes to show how much context matters, and why journalists can completely change a story to their liking simply by omitting some choice sentences.

grcenter47 Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 i dont think you need to be vocal as captain. eli manning is a captain and i think he leads by example when he lead the giants to the super bowl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Diablo Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 Anyways even those points are useless Stevens didnt even want to be in NJ and ended up captain, Parise deserves it 100% thats all And not only our captain but THE GREATEST CAPTAIN the NJ DEVS ever had Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devilsrule33 Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 I can't say I love Parise's comments about not trying to change anything about what he does. That has been the problem in the past with Langs and Elias adjusting to the new responsibilities. You have to make some changes. You do need to be more vocal. Leading by example is good, but you have to be a leader of men, and that includes being more vocal and demanding of the team, taking young players under his wing and showing them ropes. I hope he gets some advice form both Jamie and Patty about this adjustment, since they both never got comfortable in their new roles. If things go south early, you have to have a different mindset as Captain of a hockey team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that gives him the latitude to get away with such a statement and besides I could picture him in his sheepish grin telling zach --"you got to stay now" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's how it really went down... Goalie Martin Brodeur was asked how much he enjoys Parise's famous homemade crab dip."He's got to stay here. That's the bottom line," Brodeur said, referring to the fact Parise has only a one-year contract. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thefiestygoat Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 Congrats Parise! As a fan I love watching him go all out every time he's on the ice - I can't believe someone is actually questioning his work ethic here. I trust the Devils organization to make the right decision.
