See Ya Marty


The most overrated goaltender in NHL history should finally be taking a seat on the bench starting with Canada's next game. What the hell are the Canadian braintrust thinking? He's Martin Brodeur, he of the most shutouts (product of a stifling defensive system), he of the most regular season wins (product of a stifling defensive system, shrewd GM, shootout, etc...), so he has to get the nod? I'm team USA all the way, so I'm loving the boneheaded decision by the Canucks here. They will take a step in the right direction once they get Roberto Luongo back in net the rest of the way- then you can start to worry about Team Canada.

How about those team USA jerseys? You can almost picture every American star as a Ranger. Now they just need to substitute the blue pants for red.

Rangers 3, Devils 0


Felt a little like April 2008 didn't it?

You have to admit, the most overrated goaltender in NHL history was looking sharp the first 24 minutes of the game. You had the feeling it was going to be one of those 0-0, 1-1 shootout affairs. However, the Devils unraveled and the Rangers scored 3, two of them in a span of two minutes.

Dubinsky and Callahan are getting hot at the right time. Hell, Callahan has been hot. He has 21 goals on the year now and has been one of the best, if not the best player since Torts arrived. Dubi, by the way, was 9-0 in the faceoff circle tonight.

Sean Avery was doing his thing. Whether it was making the overrated one take cheap crotch shots, or making the other two fools go after him, he was doing his job and playing hard. All that was missing from him was a goal. He did have an assist on the Cally goal which was set up by a beautiful look from Scott Gomez, who was effective as well. Was that actually him throwing around the body? OK, so Holik made him look awfully small a couple of times, but hey, Gomez was throwing the body!

Lundqvist owns Brodeur. Talk to me about his wins record when he gets another 25 without the shootout. Until then I don't want to hear it.
