Thats where you are wrong.

If the Sabres are home the last line change goes to the Sabres. Scott grabs Lucic and ragdolls him.

Lucic doesnt do it again , guaranteed.

JESUS CHRIST HE NEVER HAD A STARTING JOB. IT WAS ALL STANA.

It never. Was. Bryz's. Job. Never. He was the backup. He was signed as a backup. He didn't lose the job. He never had it to start with. EVER.

He's the kind of goalie that needs to play 65 games a year to stay in the groove. We saw it in Phoenix. It's understandable he was shaky during the beginning of his tenure in the K because he was playing once a week. You can't find a rhythm like that.

But no- he lost the starting job with a .700 SV %. That's all you say.

Don't mention how well he's played of late though. Oh no never....never.

Relax buddy, Bryz is an easy target, just forget that guy, his mind is made up.

Pens? Seriously? What about their lack of d and mediocre goalie?
NYI suck and will suck for Atleast another year
NJ lost their best player and captain and didn't replace him.

Your argument is stupid.

Parise is good but he was FAR from our best player last year.

I was there with my bro in September......stood for 4 quarters screaming. What a blast!

i've been to a couple of games there (but none this season) and it is a truly amazing sports experience.

the tail gate, the game, the post game. wonderful experience. having only 1 game a week allows the nfl to make it "an occassion" every single week.

Wow really?

Who was then?

As a Flyers fan who saw plenty of you guys- I'd say he was your best. Even better than Marty.

I'm intrigued, not being a Richard....

Hmmm do I believe the best writer on this site, or sme TSN guy that isn't Bob McKenzie, Darren Dreger? Damn that's such a tough decision...
Who cars if he had a .700 save %??? He got BETTER. IMPROVED.
He's not an amazing goalie but god damnit can't he get better? Who gives a dhit what his save % was 5 games in? He Improved and moved it all the way up to .911!

I'm on the fence about giving up my Nucks tickets for Seahawk tickets......Especially since the Fins are my favorite team.

But it's so much less of a commitment, and even if you only go down for half the home games a wicked experience for the season.

He was the leader no doubt, but Kovy was definitely better last year. Kovy put up more points, shootout ace, contributed solidly to the two way game, etc.

Just curious, was Marty really who you thought was #2 on NJ last year?

it's almost to the point where i'd rather watch hockey at home than go live. sure it's great to see the games live but the atmosphere is sterile and it feels like everyone is "trying" to have a great time. not to mention that 3/4 of the people there don't know much about hockey.

having said that, nothing beats live playoff hockey. nothing!

that's why i can be glib about there not being a hockey season right now but i'm gonna be p!ssed in april. the first round of hockey playoffs is my FAVOURITE time of the year. nothing can beat coming home and having 3 or 4 games on tv that mean so much, not to mention the overtimes. i think i'm going to cry now.

I could see the Rangers running away with it this year. They've got a solid team. The only concern there is are they durable enough for the playoff-type hockey we will see if there is to be a shortened season. Lundquist is a beast though!!

What about Dallas being on this list? The wheelchair line would benefit from a shortened season.

Like i said, Adam Henrique was best player for NJD and best penalty killer in NHL last year but didn't win the award because the awards are base on reputation.

Not really.

Being a Flyers fan, Marty has a "special" place in my heart. To me, he'll always be a player that makes me say "ohhhhhhhh god" when we play him.

As for last year, I dunno. I mean I always though Parise was one hell of a player and your best hands down. As for number 2- I said Marty and not Kovy maybe because the Flyers seemed to do a good job of containing him? Henrique is great too but he didn't hurt us much, that I could remember. Could be it. Clarkson seemed to kill us too.

Keep in mind the only time I really paid a lot of attention to you guys was when we played you!

Impressed at Kovy's 2-way play though. Wow did he really transform that.

Marty is the man, always been my favorite tender, seems like an all round good guy too, wish he could play forever.
