sundstrom Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 (edited) in that TG update, you have to hope marty is being honest in that he can start a rehab in 8 weeks. if that's true, perhaps it will only take another 3-4 weeks after and we can actually think about seeing him in February. Lets say that's 40 games. if the devils can do something like 18-15-7 - get 42 points or so and have 56 points with 25+ games of Marty to get another 30-35 out of 50 points, i think they'll be in prime playoff territory. let's hope.

Man I would be so happy if he came back in late February, early March. They are playing the Canes on March 18th and we have a luxury suite reserved. It is 2 days before my anniversary. That would be a Happy Anniversary to me gift! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HellOnICE Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Besides all the records and all, I think the biggest shame is that Marty won't be able to participate in Montreal for the 100th Annv. All Star Game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way Brodeur was talking to TG is that he is up beat and confident that he will be back sometime in February - early March. maybe sooner depending on how the surgery goes and if Brodeur is a fast healer. The rehab is what makes this time table unknown. Hopefully it will be a quick rehab and the Devils are still in the hunt for the division and a playoff spot in the EC. All the best to Brodeur right now come Thursday morning, the first step back to recovery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thefiestygoat Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 I just got home so I'm late in the thread and too lazy to read all 8 pages. Of course, this sucks big time, but at least he is projected to come back before the end of the year. If this injury happened a couple of months from now we would've been screwed. I'm confident Weekes can hold down the fort till Brodeur comes back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RunninWithTheDevil Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 I think by the time Febuary rolls around, we'll be looking at this as a blessing in disguise. Brodeur being rested for the playoffs is good news once we make it there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chimaira_Devil_#9 Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 This news topped of a completely $hit day for me. For the last 3 drafts i have been saying the Devils should draft a decent goalie prospect, just in case and to developed long term, and nothing, now Marty is down, we need a backup for the backup, and all we have is Clemmer NOT GOOD!!! The only real prospect we have is Frazee, and he is going to take some major work to even get him to AHL standard after his confidence was destroyed in the NCAA. This problem should have been addressed in the past two drafts with at least one selection of a Goaltender in any Round just so we had some depth, but nothing was done and now our depth chart for the ENTIRE ORGANISATION is: Matrin Brodeur 36 Kevin Weekes 31 Scott Clemmensen 33 Dave Caruso 23 Jeff Frazee 22 Jason Smith 23 The fact brodeur is at the top, mean's there wouldnt have been much of an emphasis on drafting goalies in the mid stage of Martys career (although we did) but at this stage is seems sensible to take a few more goalies to stock the team for exactly this sort of situation. This is one thing that has really bugged me across the last 3 drafts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triumph Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 (edited) Clemmensen would be just as good as a prospect. Look, Clemmensen obviously isn't an NHL-quality goaltender, but he's pretty close to it - he's got to be one of the best veteran AHL goalies, for sure. Even if the Devils had drafted a goalie in the last 3 years, Clemmensen would be the one on the roster, not that new goalie - goalie prospects take longer than that to develop. Since Lou has not at all hesitated about taking goalies in the 1st round in the past even with Brodeur in the stable, it's clear that he hasn't thought highly enough of the goalies in these drafts to get one.

coldply123 Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 (edited) I'll be honest, I am concerned with the team's inability to get over the shock effect of knowing Brodeur is not back there. I think the problem could only get worse if the losses pile up early on and Weekes is inconsistent or worse, ineffective.
