aylbert Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Honestly I'd prefer Schneider be given the nod... For his play, and as a statement for our future and commitment to him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blown01NJ Posted January 20, 2014 Author Share Posted January 20, 2014 No, but let's be honest... Well I just saw on TG that Marty had a new mask made for the game, so it looks like he automatically assumes he is playing. Which is complete bullsh!t.

sundstrom Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 i expect cory to get both st.louis and washington and marty to get the yankee stadium game. then cory for st. louis and one of the dallas nash games. Well I just saw on TG that Marty had a new mask made for the game, so it looks like he automatically assumes he is playing. Which is complete bullsh!t. i will gladly let marty have that game if cory gets the two before and after it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is complete bullsh!t. That doesn't mean anything. Backups in the WC like Biron, Johnson and Gustavsson had masks made but didn't play.

Which is complete bullsh!t. I don't think he assumes anything. But why not have a mask prepared just in case? I got no issue with Brodeur getting that game. I echo Sundstrom's thoughts about Cory getting the two before and the games after being great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJDevs4978 Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Tom Gulitti @TGfireandice3h DeBoer said he's going day to day with goaltending plan, so no scheduled Saturday for Sunday at Yankee Stadium yet. Tom Gulitti @TGfireandice3h DeBoer admitted sentimentality might influence decision on starter for Sunday, but said most important thing is "for us to win games." He didn't rule out NOT starting Marty which is pretty telling, though I still expect him to play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadDog2020 Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 I would bet every last thing I own Marty starts. Talbot has a better shot at starting for them than Schneider does for us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mouse Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 While I'd like to see us commit 100% to Schneider, Marty has played the Rags well this year. If you're gonna give him a game, that's not a bad time to do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJDevs4978 Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 I would bet every last thing I own Marty starts. Talbot has a better shot at starting for them than Schneider does for us. A month ago I would have bet money on Talbot starting...but now that Lundqvist has returned from the alien planet he was on, he's about a sure bet to get the game too. While I'd like to see us commit 100% to Schneider, Marty has played the Rags well this year. If you're gonna give him a game, that's not a bad time to do it. Cory shut them out early in the season as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed and that includes Cory pitching back-to-back 35 save shutouts (both shootout losses, of course) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devil Dan 56 Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Well I just saw on TG that Marty had a new mask made for the game, so it looks like he automatically assumes he is playing. Which is complete bullsh!t. Why would that be bull? It was pretty much common knowledge that he'd be playing that game when it was first announced.

bobilly45 Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 martys got the mask, and the white pads for the stadium series, also HES MARTY BRODEUR and for that reason alone he's starting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devilsfan118 Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 (edited) ...I want Marty to start. He IS the new jersey devils. He's everything this organization strives to be and represent. He deserves this game. Cory's got a decade's worth of time to play an outdoor game (whether with the Devils or a different team).

mouse Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Cory shut them out early in the season as well. I'm not bashing Cory at all, just saying if you're gonna give Marty a game, the Rags might be the best team for him to play, based on past returns this year.

What? The rags are a much better team right now, way better than when we last played them. The best games to play marty are games in which we have a good shot at scoring more. Teams with weak defense and or goal tending. The rangers are getting good goal tending and scoring right now. Marty in net could spell disaster.

Maybe he gets up more for those games, maybe he knows their tendencies better, but some of his best games this year have been Rags games. Throw in the fact that the ice will probably be sloppy, which should minimize everyone's skill, and this isn't a bad game to play him.

Considering marty is letting up at least 1 soft bllsh!t goal a game, yea its important for him to play against weaker competition at this point. Be more of a fvcking smart ass, it seems all the marty apologists on here are. Again the rangers are playing much MUCH better hockey than when marty faced them, there is no way he should get the start if this teams intention is making the playoffs. We just can't afford to drop any more games. The BEST possible team needs to be on the ice every night it can be, and that doesn't include marty anymore.

devlman Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 How can you be a fan of this team and not want Marty in net for one outdoor game before he retires? Jesus. I don't disagree but maybe some people value going to the playoffs more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadDog2020 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Marty definitely deserves the outdoor game. That's a 'legacy game'. I have no problem with him starting it. And even as someone who HIGHLY values making the playoffs and has been critical of his play this season, it would be wrong to not give Marty this particular game- its the first Devils outdoor game, and likely the only one Marty will have a chance to play in. I think a vast, vast majority of the fanbase has no problem with him starting. At least I hope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sorry I respect the greatest goalie of all time. It's crazy of me, I know. Also, I said I wouldn't object to Cory playing every game. I still stand by my statement that Marty has played this group of Rangers well this season (including a game during their current hot streak). Be more of a fvcking dumb ass. It seems all the Marty haters on here are. It's not like Marty is a complete scrub putting up an .850 save percentage. It's a big time game against his all time rival, is be AMAZED if he lays an egg.

Triumph Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 I respect Dominik Hasek too mouse, but yeah, I don't care if Brodeur gets the outdoor game provided he doesn't get any of the games around it. It's too bad for people who want to see the Devils win on Sunday that the odds will be less, but it's probably what'll end up happening.

'7' Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 (edited) Brodeur is playing unless he comes down with the flu or tweaks something in practice. I wouldn't mind this so much if we had a nice cushion in the playoff race, but we need this game...the last thing I want to see is 30,000 Ranger fans chanting his name as he lets in some short side floater to Carl Hagelin from 30 feet out. This will also be his last legacy game. After the Rag game the Devils will have 28 regular season games left. Brodeur should start no more than 7 of them If he starts tomorrow or against Washington I will be furious.
