Neb00rs Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 Scott Stevens uses Brodeur as example. Melrose takes a shot at Brodeur. Stevens looked like the old instincts turned back on and he was about to protect his goalie. His face at 2:21 says it all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always liked Merose too, but fvck his dumb little comment. 0 Stanley Cup rings at that table that don’t belong to Stevens. Melrose couldn’t even win one coaching Wayne Gretzky...

Melrose is and always has been a douchey, mullet-ed hack. And he SUCKED as a player. Has no business talking hockey. I don't understand WHY he's an analyst. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s as knowledgeable about the game as the average fair weather fan. Yeah take jabs at Marty, you douche, you still suck at pretty much everything you do and you’re on the same level of expertise as Mike Milbury. oh and you never have nor ever will win a cup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not a big Melrose guy in any way, but I don't consider his comment much of a shot (I was expecting much worse, based on the reactions here)...Stevens didn't look pissed to me at all. And re: Brodeur, there's lots of myths that will never go away among some...that Brodeur had it easy, that he only faced 10 shots a game, blah blah blah. I do think Stevens hit the nail on the head though...I agree that Marty's style of play played a nice role in helping him play in so many games each season, and to last as long as he did. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not a Melrose fan either, but more often than not I remember hearing him saying good things about Brodeur and the Devils.

Devil Dan 56 Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 The only thing that bothers me about Melrose and "analysts" like him is the constant false narrative that the Devils were this horrible monster that ruined hockey. People who were fans back then knew that a lot of teams played the trap. Newer fans on the other hand probably believe that Marty faced 10 shots a game and that Trevor Kidd would have had the same career in that team. Melrose's resume speaks for itself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJDevils1214 Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 The Sabres lost in OT last night, Eichel had a hattrick. On the winning goal Eichel was on the ice and just like stood there staring at Johnson like "Come the fvck on man really?" lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am surprised they're having that much trouble, you would think a Canadian city would be able to sell the place out. From what I've heard about their attendance woes, the problem lies with Ottawa being a government city, and a lot of the people there aren't from Ottawa and are fans of other teams, primarily the Leafs and Habs. Plus the arena is in the middle of nowhere and has one road in and out. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melrose's resume speaks for itself Speaking of that bs, I was pleasantly surprised during the game against the Habs the other night while watching their feed, one of their announcers was talking about how good offensively some of those early 00’s Devs teams were. It was so refreshing. I guess some people were actually watching the games back then, and not just jealously blaming the Devils for “almost ruining hockey.” 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tell people the Devils scored just fine it was the other team that couldn't, so that is their fault. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, I'm sure he's obviously thrilled to be making the money.. but being locked into Buffalo for the next decade-ish? Wonder if he demands a trade in a couple years if the Sabres are still an embarrassment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sabres should be a couple years into a rebuild, something Eichel should have accelerated. Instead they're pretty much going to be starting back at square one.

If they end up with Dahlin, that could turn it around for them maybe. They're certainly right in the mix lol.

AEWHistory Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 On 10/11/2017 at 10:08 AM, Daniel said: Goaltending is just curse for the Flyers. There's no other way to explain it. Their best goalie since 2000 has to have been Brian Boucher, correct? For me the last Flyers goalie that might have been truly great was Pelle Lindbergh. But the curse got him in a big way when he decided to merge his Porsche with a brick wall. Since Lindbergh the only goalie the Flyers have had that I think has been anything good I see Hextall and he tended to choke from time to time. Seems to me the Flyers used all their good goalie juju on Bernie Parent. That worries me..... how much of the Devils juju was used by Brodeur!? Yikes!

The official on the ice knew it and waved his arms slightly. Replay was obvious. But it didn't fit the NHL's agenda of coronating Lemieux. I posted the video a few years ago. I'm sure it's still out there. The league should've corrected the call, that evening or the next day, to preserve their credibility. Instead, they sensationalized it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lateralous Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 The Lightning and Predators look like they're at a different level right now (Blues too). It would be funny to see the melt down in Montreal if Subban and Sergachev go against each other in the finals. Bergevin has to be the worst GM in the NHL, right?

Slashes the guy and hits him out of what seemed like frustration, while Namestnikov was in a vulnerable position. I wasn't happy with the hit on Palmieri during the home opener this year, and now I like this guy even less. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
