  1. It's a Puckless Prucha! NEverson may be onto something, it definately has a nice ring to it...Puckless Prucha...
  2. A friend of mine's ex-roommate is a recovering porn star. So, famous in certain circles. Though I don't think her number is the same anymore. So I don't know if it counts. If not then nobody at all. Maybe that friend for being roommates with an ex porn star?
  3. GO DEVILS! I hope to have someone texting me the score while I waste away at work
  4. Much as I dislike him and hate to admit it, I think Crosby's destined for bigger years than this one down the line. If there is a bias in the voting because of Crosby's savior-of-the-league status (and yeah, there probably is), I think it would make more sense to build it up and make him wait another year or two...it'll solidify future awards for him. On the same note, Marty's having a stellar year when goalies just aren't supposed to be this good anymore. I say if he gets the single-season shutout record the award should be his without question.
  5. I apologize if it's a re-post, didn't see it elsewhere... Devils' Brodeur Making MVP Noises By KEVIN ALLEN USA Today The only debate about the New Jersey Devils ' Martin Brodeur is whether he is just the best goaltender - or the best player - in the NHL this season. Brodeur has been the top goalie in USA TODAY's NHL Power Rankings since early January, but he is gaining votes as MVP on the strength of his 36 wins and 11 shutouts. He grabbed two first-place votes from Pittsburgh Penguins star Sidney Crosby and trails him by nine points. "Before, Marty almost suffered from the Ken Dryden syndrome. Some would say, 'Oh, look at the D he's playing behind,' " former NHL goalie Darren Eliot said. "The league changed the rules, partly because of Marty Brodeur as a puckhandling goalie who could change the forecheck. The salary cap also has taken away the Devils ' opportunity to load up on D. They no longer have that fortress in front of him with guys like Scott Stevens and Ken Danyeko and he's still on top." Brodeur, 34, has a decent shot at breaking Bernie Parent's 1973-74 record of 47 wins in a season and an outside shot at taking down Tony Esposito's modern-day record of 15 shutouts, set in 1969-70. With 23 games left, he could break Grant Fuhr's second record of 79 appearances and his own mark of 4,555 minutes. Parent's record occurred in a 78-game season and Esposito played a 76-game season. Eliot long has been impressed with Brodeur's durability, in particular his ability to stay sharp from wire to wire. Brodeur has said the Devils being situated in the Atlantic Division makes his travel schedule less difficult than some goalies face. Eliot says general manager Lou Lamoriello historically has insisted that the team's travel schedule affords his players enough rest between games. The new rules have forced Brodeur to alter his approach a bit, but his style hasn't changed. "He might be the only guy left playing a stand-up first style," Eliot said. Brodeur has led the league in wins for seven of the last eight seasons. He has been on pace to pass Parent before, but his personal best is 43 wins, set three times. "If we continue to play the way we have been, he has a chance to (break the wins record)," Devils defenseman Brian Rafalski said recently. "A lot of things have to go right for you, too."

  6. Wow, that brings back memories...Thanks for posting.
  7. Am I too new to request keepership? If not, I would like to be the keeper of the pop-music pre-game organ music. Particually Crazy and Seven Nation Army. If not, then chalk it up to newbie stupidity.
  8. You said pretty much word for word what I was screaming at the game (I actually apologized to the father sitting in front of me because I totally let lose on some of that stuff with his kid sitting there...) You just don't do that to a goalie. Period. I don't care if it's Marty, or Lundqvist, or any other goalie on any other team. Gahh. Shame Cam didn't get a piece of him...there's always Thursday
  9. I'm really looking forward to this new building more and more, the more I read things like this. Thanks!
  10. I'll be there tonight, 203ish. LETS GO DEVILS do do do do-do do do do do-do do do do do-do do do do RAN-GERS SUCK Can't wait
  11. Whoohoo somebody newer than me!! Welcome
  12. My first attended game since coming to this board...can't wait!! I think I'm in 212 or something like that. A repeat of December's 5-2 win over the Pens would suit just fine! LETS GO DEVILS

    Ole no way!!!

    Were the other two songs really any better though? When they first posted the three, I thought the other two would make awful goal songs, leaving Ole the best by default. But then again, maybe I'm biased because I knew of Ole and not the other two, and I liked the idea of a Jersey band that wasn't Bon Jovi getting the goal song...
  14. Many thanks...I feel special, I'm not this awesome to deserve a large thread of this nature Gracias
