USAkid90 Posted April 23, 2010 Author Share Posted April 23, 2010 Would anyone be opposed to adding Volcenkhov (sp?) to this team. Imagine Martin and Volchenkov as the #1 pair This would mean Kovalchuk would for sure be gone though as we wouldn't have the money to pay him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jkrdevil Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 USAkid90, based on the screen name I'm not surprised. Granted I'm not much older, but I do know what this organization was like pre-Brodeur. Those who have that reculection know that this thread is stupid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whats getting annoying is people who check the boxscore and decide that Brodeur has to go. Because clearly you didn't watch this series if you blame Marty. And yet we should keep Lemaire because, well, we replace the coach too often? Well thought out. Please, please, please tell me what goalie was going to pull 4 wins out of a team scoring 2 goals a game? he was gone for a huge chunk of the season last year the team played very well Yeah, Clemmensen has really kept that magic going.

First off, I'm not a Rags fan, Second I'm sorry if the truth hurts but Marty has been absolutely terrible in the playoffs the last few years. 7 made a perfect thread about it. Do you actually WATCH the games? When you don't score, you don't win! How do you blame Marty when the whole fvckin team, aside from Kovy played like they were skating in exhibition games in September? The issues stem from the coach out. This team has a great nucleus and can build around Parise and Zajac. Changes have to be made but it's hilarious to me how retarded your analysis is. Is Marty the same goaltender from a few years ago, no. But how do you devote a thread to one of the only reasons why we remain competitive EVERY YEAR? Maybe watch some hockey games before you lay blame on one guy. You obviously don't know much about this team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Motorcity Devil Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 (edited) Marty has lots left in the tank. For his sake, I hope he finds his way onto a team that can put his skills to use. If it were to be the Devils, they have a lot of other pieces to add. We'll see how much of an egoist he is in the next 3-5 years. I think if he chooses to stay and help the team rebuild, people like 7 and the others will have to at least admit he is not being selfish. He's playing in NJ for a major discount. BUT... Unless he wins another cup, he will retire with lots of records, but still have to explain his last 5-7 years in the play-offs and his OT record. He'll always wonder if he could have won anything without Stevens and his merry band of bad-ass d-men. If he leaves to go to a contender, he might win another Cup and all of that goes away. Then, we can call him selfish - but not if he stays. Personally, I still think he might be worth more to us in a trade (if he's willing to go). That's not to say I don't love him, or think he's not the best ever. He is the gold standard of goaltending. Lou would have to be VERY careful trying to move him , because Marty is worth about 10 wins a year, and 3 or 4 thousand STH per year as well. He's not worth that in the play-offs in my opinion. The game has simply changed too much. Edited April 23, 2010 by Motor City Devil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lateralous Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 Seriously this is getting annoying..every year it's the same fu****** script. Marty should really retire..honestly he isn't the goaltender he once was. As for the coach..well I don't really know..how many times are we gonna replace the guy behind the bench?? sigh.. The major difference in the series was the defenses in front of the goalies. Seriously, Boucher mostly had clean looks at the shots and when he was spraying rebounds around (especially early in the series) we couldn't get anywhere near them. The second Brodeur leaves a rebound it's in the back of the net. While I've always been critical of Brodeur for giving up some softies, I think you would see a significant difference in his play if we ever go back to having more than 2 NHL calibre defenseman in front of him.

peteyvegas Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 Funny how this thread comes up this year. I would say this was Marty's best playoff in years. This topic is a year too late. Marty was no worse than any of the goalies during these playoffs. You cant stop goals coming from an empty side where a D man should be.

MartysGlove Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 Once you can name 29 goalies better than marty, he should retire. Start with 10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevsMan84 Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 Once you can name 29 goalies better than marty, he should retire. Start with 10. Right now, I can name: Luongo, Miller, Lundqvist (yes, that is right and no I am not a Rags fan), Nobokov, Fluery, Ward, Bryzgalov (sp). That may not be 10, but that is 7. All have either won a cup, are winning right now, or have won more games than Marty since 2003. I know I am going to get hated now by everyone here, but let me also state that 10 years ago, Marty was better than any of these goalies. Fact of the matter is, he was not the reason why we won the cups and why we have been successful in the regular season. Last year proved that this team could win without Marty, so I hope maybe most of you will see this too. It was the defense in front of him that won us those cups, not Marty. Yeah everyone was pissed in 2003 that Giggy won the Conn Symthe, even though Marty got the playoff shutout record, but does anyone think that Marty was better throughout the entire playoffs than Giggy? Did Marty outright steal any games in that playoff year? Not that I can remember. We all love Marty, including I, but we need to stop being so nostalgic and need to face reality. Hockey is not a sport where we can always say "remember when Marty did this..." but instead we must say "what have you done for me lately?" It is a cutthroat sport, but that is all sports. I would love to see Marty play another couple of years in NJ, but after that he should hang them up. What Lou needs to do is to put a defense in front of him with a backbone and then we can start being the team we once were. Teams these days are winning the cup with no-name goalies, and it shows that the most important position in the new NHL are no longer the goalies.
