>I don't know what else Larry can say or do to get this team ready to play
but he had better break it out.
He can put on some pads and a mask. Anything is better than Brodeur.
Maybe we can get the leagues permission to put a pylon in net.
I've been saying it all playoff long - Brodeur has SUCKED. Absolutely
SUCKED. Any wins we've had are IN SPITE of Brodeur. How many playoff
series have we seen the opposition goalie out-play Brodeur? Well, 3
times so far this play-off alone.
Three goals on eleven shots. That should really help that save
percentage stat that everyone was laughing at me about. "Oh, that's
not a real stat... it's the wins that count". Yeah, well, let me tell
you that if you stop 8 of 11, there ain't gonna be any wins.
We REALLY have to do something about our goaltending in the off
season. Brodeur is a sieve.

That said, you cannot blame the goaltender when you get ZERO goals.
Zero. Nada. None. I'm glad we're getting rid of deadwood Mogilny this
summer. As much as I abhor youth for rental trades, that Gomez for
Blake is starting to look real nice right about now. Only way Gomez
can score is if you give him an empty net!
There better be some changes in the summer cause losing 5-0 and 4-0
in the final only goes to prove all those journalists right: "The
West is Best".
The hockey world is happy tonight. Borque gets his cup. The evil
Devils are defeated by the good Avalanche. So the world turns.
