Since I'm out of the Survivor pool I will re-dedicate myself to making fun of my favorite whipping boy, Martin "swiss cheese" Brodeur. Sorry if he's a friend DN!Seeing over 3o shots a game, he is a stellar 36th in save % and 43rd in GAA. :twisted:

Have you been waiting a decade for this opportunity?

no, Ive been saying it in various places for a decade, including at the Meadowlands. Now is just the first opportunity to prove it with no D to cover for him. :twisted:Edit: In fact its almost exactly a decade. I met him the summer of '94 and thought he was a pretty nice guy for someone with "Matteau Matteau Matteau" ringing in his ears, and Francois Allaire calling you in the locker room before every practice to remind you that a wrap-around is not a sandwich using burritos instead of bread.And I liked him until the summer of '95 when all 17 bandwagoner Devils fans anointed him best in the league, and began cheering "saves" that were 4 feet wide of the net. Nothing like a Jersey pig-farmers hands and toes full of "lifelong hockey fans" who think they're cool because they can yell "icing" whenever the "referee's" arm goes up to turn you against someone.Of course when youre used to seeing 14 shots on your net all night, and the only one that had a legitimate chance of going in was one that took a bad bounce off the boards when you were 15 feet out of the net, I suppose you need to find opportunities to support your goalie.It will be interesting to watch the move to Newark swell the ranks of die hard Devils fans back from the 12 who will remain after the other 5 are arrested trying to reclaim his first Vezina trophy. :twisted: :twisted: (And even if I have to recant if he shows a miraculous turnaround, it sure is fun ripping him in Secaucus right now, lol)
