MantaRay Posted January 13, 2003 Share Posted January 13, 2003 http://thefourthperiod.com The half-way point of the season has come and here is the report card for the Devils first half of the 2002-2003 season: Forwards: John Madden (A): Bobby who? He entered the season doing what he said he would do. Has played near flawless hockey all season. Jamie Langenbrunner (A): What a steal. Love this kid. Does everything and the team is a much better one when he is in the line-up. Tied for the lead in team scoring!! Scott Gomez (A-): Has been leading the team in scoring almost all season. Burns is starting to appreciate his talents a little more with the new line formations. Patrik Elias (B): Hasn't played to everyones expectations, but is adjusting to life without the A-line. Starting to look more compfortable and establishing chemistry with Bicek. Brian Gionta (B-): Little G has won me over. I have doubted him since day one. His size was always the issue, but the heart and the effort has won my respect. I miss him not in the line-up. Jeff Friesen (B-): Not playing up to expectations, but he is sixth in team scoring and has the third best in +/- (+9). His speed opens lanes and keeps the defense on their heels. He has been under utilized. Turner Stevenson (C+): Lacks the polish and finesse of other skilled players, but a team player through and through who inspires his teammates. Jay Pandolfo (C+): He will never put you in a position to lose. He and Madden are the best penalty killing forwards in the league. If he could only score.

MantaRay Posted January 13, 2003 Author Share Posted January 13, 2003 Yes, I believe so. Either that or Christian Berglund has become a brand name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elias 2662 Posted January 14, 2003 Share Posted January 14, 2003 I wonder what the ratings would be had they been made after last night's game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
