Zubie#8 Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 What in this game was the fault of a mediocre 40 year old goalie? The defensive play is horrendous. Yes, they keep shots down, but man do they break down. Not much you can do when the defenseman decides to do his best goalie impersonation, blocking out the sun in the process. Like you said, mediocre 40 year old goalie. I don't expect much, but it still gets me mad and I cannot take it anymore. He had a hell of a run last year but I wouldn't be sad if he hangs it up this seasons, but he wont. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devilsfan118 Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 I don't know why you guys are letting this one get to you - I hate the Rangers too, but this game is essentially meaningless. If they win, great, fvck the Rags. If they lose, great, potential for a higher pick. I can't wait until the offseason. I'm hoping Lou has some big things planned, including cleaning out this D core and bringing in a goalie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had a hell of a run last year but I wouldn't be sad if he hangs it up this seasons, but he wont. It is what it is. One of the bigger mistakes (in the longview, not necessarily this year) this season was not going out and finding an apprentice goalie. Instead they rolled with the oldest goalie tandem in the history of the universe and got stuck having to roll them both for long stretches because of injuries. Marty is a catch 22, he almost has to play next season (and I think he will), because then you're left with the awful choices of absorbing his cap hit or amnestying him to get it off the books. And they can't afford to amnesty Marty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's all Volch is good for, blocking shots. Maybe we should buy out Moose and turn him into a goalie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Play great in stretches, then get scored on. Have questionable lineup decisions, jaw-dropping breakdowns (funny how those didn't happen when the shot-blocking fossil wasn't around) and an obvious lack of talent up front.

LucifersDog Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 The best thing that could happen for the Devils would be Lou retiring the day after the end of the regular season and not hiring his son to replace him as GM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJDevs4978 Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 I can't wait to hear some of the postgame quotes about the reffing today. They took a pass after Game 6 for understandable reasons but when one ref looks like he's pulling a Stephane Auger that's bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxpower Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 LOL, it was already over when the "important power play" was ended by a player telling a ref to fvck off. Edzo was really trying to hard sell that to keep people watching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devil Dan 56 Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Why does Marty flop on that lol Man he's just..hot and cold. He deserves the chants on that one. He doesn't trust the defense to cover the pass. The team has lost all the mojo from last season. Just going to call it a mulligan and try to make some moves this off season.

95Crash Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 I haven't commented much on GDTs all year, and I haven't read all the comments in this thread, so I'm not sure what the consensus is, but all I know is once again the Devils have 0 goals. They can't win a game that way, no matter how good/bad their goalie plays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't care what Marty does/doesn't do when the team can't consistently score goals. Hopefully this is addressed in the offseason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brodeur is old and he is not the goalie he was, but the issues here are deeper than just blaming him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
