Also apparently Marty is on the "hot seat" at least he is with good company...

Also Kovy is the skater under the most pressure.

Scott Cullen has always been their long lost sibling in my eyes...

Marty AND the defense?

the 3rd best defense by GAA in the Eastern Conference?

9th best defense by GAA in the Playoffs?

OK, got it!

Alrighty then.

They can't even spin it as a seeding thing, because the Devils would have to be a 7th seed at best for that to fly.

My analysis: They mad

What is even up with that? Booker's response after calling VBK a huckster is to cut police protection during a playoff game? Is he nuts?

Well, this one I at least understand. Marty needs to put together a good run for us to get anywhere. He hasn't had a stellar series in a while.

Why do journalists hate us?

Ya but then I found he also thinks Kovy is the skater under the most pressure as well. both Burnside. Though he thinks Clarkie will be one of the playoffs unlikely heros!!!!

The best way to prove your point is to risk the livelihood of citizens visiting your city.

Booker for Democratic Presidential Nomination 2012.

Well TSN uses a formula or whatever to get their powerrankings but that just shows it sucks whatever the media can go suck a dick.

I don't even understand how by any logic the Senators and Red Wings can be in front of us because we just recently beat them and both are on a losing streak hell Los Angeles too, only NHL.com has okay power rankings.

At least the stats guy is using logic.

Big believer in hot teams heading into playoffs, doing well: NJ: 13-5-2 Pit: 15-4-1 Fla: 8-6-6 Det: 7-10-3 not everything, but important

So much parity in the NHL; the only series that would surprise me is if FLA beat NJ.

I'm not saying we're definetly going to beat Florida because we're not but the media sucks that is all.

On the hot seat:
The 40 year old goalie with 3 Cups on a 6 seed.
The 40 year old goalie who just won 2 Vezinas in 3 years, and is a reigning Cup winner with a Conn Smythe to boot.

Not on the hot seat:
The 30 year old goalie who is regarded as the best in the NHL, despite 0 Cups and an awful postseason resume, on the #1 team in the East.

Kovy is under some pressure. It's time for him to break out in the playoffs and prove he can carry a successful team.

only good because of the trap, brah.

Remember, a statistic does not favor a team in a prediction unless it favors a Devils opponent.

And in that case it counts double.

It's funny how when Marty wins it's because of the team in front of him, but when he loses it's all him. Granted, he hasn't had the best playoff performances since the lockout, but the whole team has **** the bed repeatedly.
