SatansDevils Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 Wow! Denis always played well vs. the Devils. Good now with another no name goalie the Devils hopefully will not turn him into another Cam Ward. Holmqvist to play Game 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

threestars Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 Ramo just ain't that good. Believe me, I have seen him play twice against the Sens, and against the Rats this season. Really. He isn't going to steal any games and take Tampa to the cup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJDevs4978 Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 (edited) This is actually puzzling, first of all Denis stinks and probably should have been gone long ago anyway, but the timing's really odd. On the eve of the playoffs?! Then again I should talk about odd timing with all of our pre-playoff coach pink slips But why didn't they give this kid Ramo a shot in the regular season if they were intent on using him in the playoffs? They didn't even start him in a single game, did they? I know he got a couple of short relief stints but that's about it. It makes no sense to me. Did Denis show up to practice drunk a la Deron Quint? Or does Tortorella think he was going to hide Ramo so teams couldn't get a book on him? I'd call that trying to be too cute. Probably more likely Tortorella just got in one of his psycho anti-goalie moods Edited April 11, 2007 by Hasan4978 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ev0lemi Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 Torts is just trying to one up Lou on the "WTF" factor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LizDevil30 Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 So the requirement of playing a reg season game doesn't count for goalies? Or did Matty need to play in that last reg season game or what? Time the Devils exploited a no name goalie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SC Devs Fan Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 Really... if you are going to try to shake up your team, what more meaningless player then the backup goalie. Wonder if this is to send a message, albeit a weak one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

puckrock Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 He probably has more faith in Ramo than Denis as the backup should he need to come in. Given Denis' lackluster season, should he have to come in relief of Holmqvist, he might put too much pressure on himself to make up for a poor season. I guess Tortorella figures Ramo won't put any added pressure on himself. Just my 2 cents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
