Colorado Rockies 1976 Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 Looking forward to seeing the highlights of this. Kid probably won't ever make it, but the moment makes it worth it...I'm sure it meant a lot to Marty. Scary, I remember when Anthony's baby photo was shown during a Devils game not so long ago (or so it seems)...time goes so damned fast...

devilsrule33 Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 (edited) Hope this kid proves he is a solid goalie. As a few people have said in the past, this isn't baseball where every family member of a person in the organization is drafted somewhere within the 50 rounds. The NHL only has 7 rounds, so this isn't very common. It's an absolutely great moment for the outside viewer and for Martt, but I hope this motivates him anymore and is a positive for him. He's prob spent his whole life playing hockey with people bugging him about his dad being better than him (or you'll never be close to his father). He's definitely going to hear now that he was only drafted because the Devils felt bad or because of his father. Not trying to sound negative, but this moment could really be a downer for him too.

capo Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 I remember him coming out donning his Marty gear during an intermission one time. Marty stayed and watched instead of going directly into the room with the team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DH26 Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 I remember Brodeur getting the A and the other initials on his helmet. Crazy even if he never makes it, at least they appeased Marty w/ them getting Schneider (even if Marty damn well better be teh backup next year lol) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devil Dan 56 Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 Also, what a nice move by Lombardi to trade that pick to the Devils. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onddeck Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 Yea I just saw this on NHL.com. Good shot but I hope it doesn't come across to much as "he got drafted only to make his father feel good" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It also could be just the motivation he needs to prove people wrong. We'll have to wait and see I guess but this was definitely a very cool, classy moment. My favorite part was the interview they did afterwards with Marty and Anthony. They asked Marty how hard the Devils were working to get a pick to draft his son and Marty goes "Well, I don't know how hard it is to get a 7th round pick" and laughs and Anthony just shoots him this look like "fvck you dad". You could see they were having fun with the whole thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thelastonealive Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 That is a class move. And as much as I hate on the LA Kings, it was a class move on their part trading the pick for just a 7th in two years. Now...William in 2014? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevilMinder Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 Classy move by the Kings. Glad the Devils bought some karma for what must be done next season. Sent from my HTC DNA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thefiestygoat Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 I've been critical of Anthony whenever he got mentioned on here but I will say it was nice to see how proud Marty was. Good for them. Still not a believer in him at all but hopefully the coaching staff in Gatineau can help him out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
