Brodeur

Wow....Lemieux whining? That's (not) a first! Sometimes I think the next bext thing to winning for Mario is whining. I mean, there's only a few differences in spelling, and it IS easier to whine than win....especially with this Pens team he's working with...

Sometimes I wonder if Devils fans are really just disguised drama queens...

Rob Niedermayer on what would happen if he boarded this brother Scott: "I'd have to answer to my mom."

Devils goalie Martin Brodeur on coach Robbie Ftorek's bench-throwing incident that got him a one-game suspension and a $10,000 fine: "It's the first time that I can recall calling a bench minor penalty that really fit the crime."

I would glady rip the tape off of Danton's mouth (firmly secured by Lamoriello after the meeting, of course), and let him shoot his mouth off until the cows come home if Tommy Ablelin is played as a forward.

If he's in the lineup tonight, I WILL cry.

Nevermind the fact that we sucked so horribly last season against the Bolts.... *sigh*

YAY!!!

I have the following player jerseys: Sykora(team autographed, away), Madden(home), Nieuwendyk(away), Stevens(away, SCF 01 patch), Brodeur(home), and Terreri(home x-mas colors).

I don't understand what the big deal about the black shoulders is...What's so bad about them?

..Okay, makes more sense.

4 goals?

I agree with KD - his number should have been retired, and it should have been a big deal. It's one thing for the Avs to retire Bourque and Beans' number, but completely different for the Kings to retire Gretzky's number...

Knights and Devils, I have proposed trades to both of you

I guess I'm just preparing for the worst when it comes to Stevens and Dano..Especially after Stevens' less than stellar performance on Saturday night. I'm usually the one who doesn't want anyone to jump to conclusions, but here I am doing so. I still won't change my mind on them needing rest, however. What would you rather have? 2 leaders on the ice game after game, tired as hell, making plays that they really shouldn't, mistake after mistake...or 2 rested players that play well when they are on the ice? Looking towards the future, I'd rather take the latter.

dr...what are you talking about? White hasn't been scratched for either game this season...

Simple answer, dr - don't sit White. No need to.

According to TSN.ca: Belfour gone one week with finger injury Canadian Press 10/14/2002 TORONTO (CP) - Ed Belfour's infected right thumb is worse than first revealed and the goaltender will likely be out of the Toronto Maple Leafs' lineup until at least Saturday. Belfour, signed during the summer to replace the departed Curtis Joseph, is still unable to firmly grasp a stick with has damaged blocker hand and, though he will be re-examined by doctors Monday, it's expected that he will miss the Maple Leafs' next three games. He was unable to play last Saturday against Ottawa. ``It's not real good. It's pretty weak,'' said Belfour, who kept his thumb hidden in his clinched fist or behind his back during a chat with two reporters Sunday. ``It feels like a broken bone just because of the swelling.'' Belfour's hand began puffing up on the flight home from Pittsburgh on Thursday, after he had played very well in a 33-save 6-0 shutout of the Penguins. He'd cut his thumb after the Maple Leafs' final exhibition game against Tampa Bay when, he says, he nicked it on the eyelet of one of his gloves while he was undressing. ``It was a fluke thing - unbelievable,'' said Belfour. ``It wasn't anything I needed stitches for. Just something I had to bandage up. I've never had anything like this in my whole career or my life.'' Trevor Kidd will start in goal for Toronto on Monday against Pittsburgh and will almost certainly start on the road Tuesday against the New York Rangers and Thursday at home against Phoenix. http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/news_story.asp?ID=83...316&hubName=nhl

Uhmm...when they are making mistakes because they're constantly being beat, or they're too tired, there's a problem. They're team leaders..that's great. It's not worth it when they're making dumb plays. With have enough leaders out there right now that we don't need to have Stevens and Dano on the ice EVERY game. They need rest.

As much as you post about not caring, he's still gonna do it..Might as well save the energy for something actually worth it, eh?

The move probably hasn't shown up yet..

Realistically, who would V. Bure replace in the lineup? Would Gionta be on the brink? Danton? ..The popular answer would probably be Pandolfo - but like I said..let's be realistic here.

Not bad DM!
