IhatetheFlyers Posted October 6, 2005 Share Posted October 6, 2005 The Devils are 10th in Yahoo's (the worlds number one source for hockey information) Power Rankings... Martin Brodeur is back, but look what he woke up to. His two top defensemen are gone, his top scoring threat is recovering for hepatitis A and his coach is fighting cancer. Oh, and the NHL passed rules to limit goalie puck handling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triumph Posted October 6, 2005 Share Posted October 6, 2005 I think it's naive to assume we'll do 'just fine' without two of the best 100 defenders to ever play the game. But Yahoo really has no credibility. I believe Detroit is ranked ahead of the Devils (a joke to begin with) with the statement that 'Jason Williams has to become a top-line threat this year." Jason Williams is only a top-line threat in the AHL - and it's obvious to anyone who does more than just look at stats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IhatetheFlyers Posted October 7, 2005 Author Share Posted October 7, 2005 Well I didnt mean we'll be just as good as we were with them, I meant we're not gonna drop from a playoff contender to the basement just because those two left....

Zamode Posted October 7, 2005 Share Posted October 7, 2005 Stevens has been gone for awhile and Niedermayer will be missed. It won't be a championship season IMO but it will still be good, we hope; Devils seem to pull it out of the bag last minute *most* of the time. Now the loss of Brodeur in years to come....big transition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted October 7, 2005 Share Posted October 7, 2005 Good win last night, but lets not lose sight of the fact that it was against a team with an atrocious defense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
