anyone know if this year's Brodeur "fathead" comes with a huge 5-hole?

[vazman05]

just seems ever since JR left CHI, there was never that hype around him....atleast around here in buffalo....

[vazman05]

welp, atl goes down in 4....

[FlyersFan]

LOL

Come on though, FF...I know you are quick to judge by nature, but this guy has some pedigree....I won't exactly send him down the the ECHL just yet.

Come on Devils!

nahhh, i only have a handful of these guys i pile on and mostly only when i have money on them....lol...or if they are PHI and they suck.......

Brodeur is a HOF goalie who isn't able to carry a 77 game workload anymore and it is showing in the playofffs

[vazman05]

why would atl come back with hedberg tonight....wtf???.....should of played him last night, not today lol

i don't think Hartley or his team had a vision or a clue in this playoffs. The whole goalie rotation thing was just bizarre. I would say that the NYR are playing some very good hockey right now all around, but ATL play has to be the most disappointing thing so far in the playoffs. They were never in this series.

That could be a very valid point I hadn't thought of....no need to ride him that way any more...really is crazy....

They were just happy to finally make it in...I know the GM was...

his play really tailed off as the season went on. I tried trading for him in a fantasy league in like late Janurary and couldn't get him, but kind of kept following his numbers and they really tailed off. Heard a commentator say in the 2nd of a BB game that he looked tired then and wasn't coming out to play the puck in certain situations like he normally would. I just don't think you can ride a guy game in and game out at his point in a career no matter how good they are, and expect to have him fresh for a 16 game stanley cup push.


and yeah, ATL was just glad to be there, but man did their big guns not show up like Kozlov, Hossa and Kovalchuk. Not sure how much of that was due to the NYR, though, as i didn't see as much of that series as i have some of the other ones.

huge PK for the NJD here....

[vazman05]

wow...nyi pushes miller into the net, with the puck....and the goal is being reviewed....

[vazman05]

No Goal!!

[vazman05]

miro satan does his best ray lewis impersonation and tackles miller into the net....what a douche....

[vazman05]

pominville populations population goes up 4-2, and the classy islander fans litter the ice with beer bottles again....

[FlyersFan]

4-2 BUF....that about does it for NYI in that one, IMO.
