MadDog2020 Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 That makes sense since Chevys haven't been really American in years. and I rooted against Marty in the Olympics, country always comes before club for me. Put it this way: it was a LOT easier to root for team USA in 2010 with choker boy in net for Canada. I wanted us to win in 02, but I didn't get excited when we scored. I couldn't bring myself to actually cheer against Marty. It would just be... Weird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, I cheered when we scored in the first game against Canada in 2010 when Marty was in net. It felt a little weird, but as far as I'm concerned, if his teammates can score against him no problem, then I can cheer against him.

Mitico12 Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 If Marty goes, I hope the Devils re-sign Hedberg and work him in tandem with one of our young prospects. Hedberg has a good 45 games in him, and he could be an excellent mentor for a young, up-and-coming goaltender. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coldply123 Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Hedberg may go to a team close to his ATL home. I would not be stunned to see the Flyers go after him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onddeck Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 i dont know guys, you gotta remember this is a business. im all for loyalty to a player, and we have been to brodeur. i would hope for the same loyalty back. the only mary money issue we should be talking about is the discounted contract that marty is willing to take to help make his team better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thefiestygoat Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Not rumors but a lot of speculation on twitter from credible guys (Andy Strickland, EJ Hradek) about Chicago's possible interest in Brodeur. Will be interesting to see if that picks up into any sort of credible rumor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neb00rs Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 (edited) @DarrenDreger Leafs have plaved a call to Pat Brisson with interest in Martin Brodeur. A simple inquiry..nothing more. Edited July 1, 2012 by ben00rs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onddeck Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 we really gotta start thinking about plan Bs. i never actually believed that we could lose both parise and marty within a month. cmon Lou, I hope its something big because we would need it in lou we trust Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghdi Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 If Marty goes anywhere, him going to Toronto would be the most shocking. I think he hates them more than the Rangers.

thelastonealive Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Oh brother.. well if we lose Marty what about Tim Thomas? Or did he decide he is 100% taking the year off. We'd still have to trade for him, and I'd really rather not trade for a goalie personally. IF Marty leaves...I dunno, re-sign Hedberg, sign a Clemmensen-type 1B goalie, and get Wedgewood on the fast track to the bigs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think theres a chance in hell the team lets us lose both of those guys. I do think its one or the other however. Marty won't make a move til Zach does IMO.

Chorske17 Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 I've heard people say "It's just business" with these guys leaving. I guess you can call that, but I think you have to look at WHY they are not interested in staying? Is it the money? Maybe. Do they want a chance to win? Yes. Do they feel their best chance of winning is with the Devils? I doubt it. If they thought their best chance of winning was with Kovalchuk and crew, I think he'd they accept something smaller to stay. Maybe there is no money or perhaps they just don't like the new Devils? What else could it be? If it was purely about money, both would've been gone already as Lou is frugal (at best) with the team's money. Something else is the reason.

ghdi Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 @thekapman Brodeur reportedly looking for a 2 yr deal in the range of 9-10 mill. Definite upgrade over Corey Crawford. Two yr deal is questionable tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
