In Topic: Brodeur's television debut tonight

Yesterday, 07:13 AM

And not sure if you can see this in the US, but here is the entire broadcast from CBC tonight. Brodeur was around pregame, intermissions and post game.

No, the game replays don't work for US residents.  Some of the auxiliary clips do though.  You can see Marty in the first six minutes of the Wings/Datsyuk clip (they even troll him by bringing out the replay of Game 3 against the Ducks after Rask's gaffe lol).

Well it'll end on the same day 2 years in a row for the rags....

 

It better, or all the people that were wishing for that to happen are going to get a major karma kick in the rear end.  Boston punted a golden opportunity to finish it off easily tonight, now they'd better do it in Game 5 or it's going to get dicey in a hurry.

In Topic: is torts fired?

I feel the same way. He's like a Mike Keenan. It works for a while, and then the players just learn to tune out the yelling and jumping and screaming. He's the kind of guy who might as well be fired if he wins the cup, because he won't be bringing a second. Obviously though, if you run a team and you think he could put you over to being a cup team, you take the risk.

 

I said in another thread and I'll say it here, I'm worried the Rangers would get Lindy Ruff. If you look at what he did with Buffalo in the late 90's and again in that 2006-2007 range, he had hard working teams with strong goaltending. I worry what he could do with a few tweaks to the Rags.

 

I think Lindy Ruff with the Rangers would be a total mismatch of personalities (say, Rudy Tomjonavich to the Lakers).  Lindy's spent most of his life playing and coaching one small-market team, I can't see him going to a big market with all the media in the world and being successful.  I'm more worried about him going to Minnesota than NY really lol.

Even Lou isn't enough of a micromanager to actually do it during the playoffs, although Lemaire was basically put on notice after the jelly throwing incident lol

It didn't look any better in the clip I saw on the Mets' site lol.  Whoever the announcer was (it wasn't the SNY crew) made a good point, there's literally no downside to fielding it.  At worst it's either foul or you get an easy out at first.
