(I read all this sh*t. Made notes and a power point presentation too. Problem publishing that so I wouldn't look forward too it. Nice illustrations tho. Bridget Fonda at 25, yes)
As to the "known" vs "unknown", I think it's fair to have to take into account the fact that at least the older fans here lived and rooted through the Brodeur era. BC of this, of course, real trust in a different goaltender will be difficult. Schmid had some great games, but he also looked stiff to me. IDK. We should all consider the context. The Devils definitely got outplayed, and did not put up a good front. These are not the guys tho...
Yes, let's sign Taffoli and Meier and our forward group is sick. If our D matures, maybe we can do it without a goalie upgrade, but the goalie sitch would give me an upset stomach, and possibly the stress sh*ts.
