DH26 Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 This could be Marty's last home game. I can't pissed about him starting this one for that reason. He better play well, we need these points. If they aren't 100% sure this is his last game and this is his home sendoff, he can't be playing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThreeCups Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 If they aren't 100% sure this is his last game and this is his home sendoff, he can't be playing Could be a potential showcase for somewhat interested GM's? Who knows Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DH26 Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 (edited) Could be a potential showcase for somewhat interested GM's? Who knows honestly, it'd be better for that if he didn't play. Have his last game be the good Islanders game. He could very easily pull one of his 4 goals on 18 shot specials versus a good team Plus I think trying to win a game versus a team in front of us is *slightly* more important than a showcase for a trade for a 3rd rounder Edited March 3, 2014 by DH26 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Throw all the trade talks aside, if this was a couple months back....after Corey's game against the Sharks, it wouldn't be crazy to start Marty for this one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SterioDesign Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 well... if Lou was considering trading him... i assume he wouldnt take the chance to get him injured the day before the trade deadline? just a thought Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikepeluso8 Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 I guess we're officially sabotaging our own season to make Marty happy then. This settles it Clearly the Devils are: 1. Giving him his proper sendoff at home 2. Showcasing him to interested GMs It all makes PERFECT sense if you ask me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devilsfan118 Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 Marty doesn't need showcasing, that's a poor justification. If this is his last send-off game, great. It's still lessening the team's chances at two very important points. I don't like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueSkirt Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 It's not uncommon for teams playing back-to-backs for the coach to have the opponent face two different keepers..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThreeCups Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 It's not uncommon for teams playing back-to-backs for the coach to have the opponent face two different keepers.....

If you're trying to win the game, you don't play arguably the worst goalie in the league in 2 out of 3 games Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJDevs4978 Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 Except it's not a back to back. Back to backs are games two straight days. This is a home and home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DH26 Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 If Marty looks great tomorrow and we get the W....no chance we go back to him Thursday?!? Hopefully no because again, we're trying to win and brodeur, even if he's good once, is terrible on average Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'7' Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 (edited) so Brodeur is starting tomorrow per TG If it's his last home game, then fine I can accept it. Otherwise we shouldn't be pissing points away like this. Detroit is better than the Islanders time will tell Edited March 3, 2014 by '7' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueSkirt Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 Except it's not a back to back. Back to backs are games two straight days. This is a home and home. yes thats what I meant. and i do know the wings have a game thursday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueSkirt Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 If Marty looks great tomorrow and we get the W....no chance we go back to him Thursday?!? I think with #30 playing Tuesday that its highly likely that #35 plays Friday. Maybe if #30 puts up a shutout then he'd get the call again on Friday, due to his history of playing well after a shutout. then #35 gets the Saturday game. but I think its Marty vs Wings, Cory vs Wings, then if #30 was good he may get the 'Canes game on Saturday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJ Eco Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 Writing's on the wall, guys. He's going to Minnesota. Both GMs are doing the right thing and giving Marty his last goodbye... I'll be there tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's still lessening the team's chances at two very important points. I don't like it. Agree bad decision. Schneider had a bad game as did the team so bench Schneider? It's not back to back and with Detroit with two games in hand we must win both against them. IMO this is Marty stirring the pot. As for a send off game would they announce that to have the place filled with fans. I am getting tired of this Marty situation he should have kept his mouth shut and finished the contract.

DJ Eco Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 (edited) What are you basing this upon? How can you be so sure? Absolutely nothing, it's just my gut. My gut's telling me that this decision is not just because Schneider had one lackluster game... As for a send off game would they announce that to have the place filled with fans. I am getting tired of this Marty situation he should have kept his mouth shut and finished the contract. Don't see why they would? Detroit's a big draw anyway and announcing something like that before the game would be a crazier distraction than anything else.

Why would we have to "showcase" Marty lol the guy has been in the league for like 75 years and there's tapes and videos of each games. Not as if he's a young prospects or something.

'7' Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 It's going to be very strange if Marty gets a big sendoff...only for him to end up staying. Going to be a weird night tomorrow, unless Lou or Marty come out definitely and say that nothing is up and that he's going nowhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
