this could hurt the Devils chances of getting Tukka Rask. I really want him for a backup/potential Marty replacement someday (him or that anderson guy on Vancouver). Thomas is a class act, i respect him for boycotting the white house for whatever reason. Rooted for Bruin s last year cause me and wife wanted him to get a cup. She went a little to far and bought a bobble head of him which i disapproved of (she has a crush on him but moreso Clarkson) but it was okay cause i noticed it looked more like her friends husband which skeeved her out.

Didn't the Habs get a special pick in the draft every year for a while?

are you watching same game we are?

he always over skates the puck hes lazy as fvck he tries to deke he losses the puck.. I can keep going.. as much as i love kovy he dosen't deserve to play

hes useless

When is hooking a player down on a break away causing a penalty shot ever a "good penalty"?

Moose really bailed the team out on that one. Bonehead move by Kovy.

Are you fvcking stupid Kovalchuk!? Are you fvcking kidding me!?

I don't have center ice this season and I really don't watch the Devils games when they're on. I pretty much just check in to see how bad they're losing.

Completely retarded ? Why ? I feel like some members here have been attacking Manta the past couple of months without even reading what he is writing or by focusing on 1 or 2 words and completely forgetting the rest of his post.

Do I completely agree whit what Manta is saying ? Nop, but I can't deny that his posts (as many other ones) is not 100% false and he is actually more than right with some of the things he said.

1st- We were a playoff team without Kovalchuk ? I don't think we had what is needed to be called a playoff team, but we where much more a playoff team than we are now.

2nd- We gave up a lot of quality players ? Yes totally agree. I guess Oduya can do better than what Salvador or Fayne can do or any other rookie we got in Albany that we will bring up. Bergfors was putting the puck in the net when we traded him and I guess that if he had stayed he would've continued to put it in and he would've probably improved instead of Clarkson who has barely managed 18 points last season while Bergfors was putting 36 points while playing 10 games less than Clarkson. Same thing for Zubrus.

3rd- Did we loose our team's identity ? Well with Kovalchuk blindly running up the ice, loosing the puck every 2 seconds, giving the puck to the opposing team players more than he gives it to his teammates and changing while we are in our zone to leave an empty spot bigger than the moon for the opposite teams players to fill in and score and off course all of that with the coach not saying anything because we don't want to hurt him since he is there for 15 years I guess we didn't loose any identity  didn't we ? Do you think any other player on the team can do that without being punished ? I personally don't think so. I guess the rest of the players just don't see the difference don't they ?


Before calling people retarded just take the time to read the post and understand it since its a forum
