ZeroGravityFat Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 (edited) Sure we have a snow storm coming, but the sky is parting and the sun is shining over Newark: Tom Gulitti @TGfireandice Expect Martin Brodeur (back) to participate in at least part of the Devils' practice later this morning. BREAKING: #Brodeur confirms he will start tomorrow night against #Carolina. Edited March 20, 2013 by ZeroGravityFat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pepperkorn Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 (edited) Don't expect him to PLAY any time soon -- but expect him to practice start in at the Canes - he'll be hurling some great Quebecois insults form the bench - just you wait! "uhhnnn uhnn uhnn -- osti d'kalisse de pourris! huunh huunnh!" "pute a cinq cennes! Oui! Oui vous, ma jolie jeune fille-homme" Edited March 20, 2013 by Pepperkorn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJCroMag Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Don't expect him to PLAY any time soon -- but expect him to practice Not even that...expect him to "participate" (exact quote) in the practice. He may be out there building a fort out of ice shavings or something, for all we know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeroGravityFat Posted March 18, 2013 Author Share Posted March 18, 2013 (edited) hahahah guys guys check out what i made. that's great marty, kinda busy here. if there is one thing i know about the devils, it's that if a person is day to day, we are fvcked for a month, and if brodeur is going to try out for practice, he's good to go and can even start tomorrow night.

MadDog2020 Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Great news. I would think if he starts practicing today, we're targeting the Florida game Saturday for the return. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'7' Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Great news. I would think if he starts practicing today, we're targeting the Florida game Saturday for the return. Probably an accurate timetable...with someone his age though I still worry about a re-tweak or a setback. That's why I think they've babied him so much to this point. Marty of 10 or even 6-7 years ago probably misses 3-4 games max Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But there's always a chance of a setback with someone Marty's age, especially with the back. We just have to hope for the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeroGravityFat Posted March 18, 2013 Author Share Posted March 18, 2013 He had a full practice and said he's not playing tomorrow. I'm guessing Saturday sounds pretty likely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devilsfan118 Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 So he did officially have a pinched nerve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caron14 Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 He had a full practice and said he's not playing tomorrow. I'm guessing Saturday sounds pretty likely.At long as he plays next monday! i'll drive 6 hours to see my second nhl game live Next step, a trip a the pru center Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njd3b1ink Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 He said he had a pinched nerve that was causing him to lose feeling in his neck and arm. Pretty sure Msweet said that and someone else scoffed at his source haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colorado Rockies 1976 Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 funny thing is, lately - moose hasn't been the problem. .926 save% in his last four, no more than two goals allowed in those games. Crazy to ask any more than that from a 39-year-old who wasn't expected to play nearly as often as he has. Great that Brodeur may be coming back, but sadly, I'm now viewing this season and next as his farewell tour, where we'll get some memorable games and runs, coupled with some injuries and some tough moments too. I know he keeps himself in phenomenal shape, no way he could have played for so damned long and for so many games if he didn't, but even the Brodeurs can outrun time for only so long. Hopefully, he finds a way to win 36 games or more before his deal's up (getting to 700), looks reasonably good doing it, keeps the sad moments to a minimum, then calls it quits. Then Ranger fans can point out that of the 700 or so wins, 300 of them came by shootout, and in the other 400, Brodeur only faced 12 shots or less per game, because of da trap.

ZeroGravityFat Posted March 18, 2013 Author Share Posted March 18, 2013 funny interview. he seems 100% just needs the conditioning to get the timing right. i'd say thursday but i'm guessing more like saturday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2ELIAS6 Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 atleast hes pretty much back now only have to go through a couple more games with out him.. although i agree moose seems to be doing ok the past few games for the most part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zubie#8 Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 We need Marty's puck handling abilities back. That's one intangible Moose cannot give us. It helps out the defense tremendously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devils731 Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Also no ridiculous hopeless flopping in shootouts I know Hedberg looks awful in the shootout, but he's strangely one of the most successful goalies in them. Maybe his awful technique is such a surprise that shooters choke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cgb6397 Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Msweet had the numbness part, Chico had the pinched nerve part.From what I remember Chico said it was like a rotator cuff or something, of all the things to go to Chico for, medical advice would probably be the last Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
