shannyfan1414 0 Report post Posted November 3, 2008 http://tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=254494&lid...s=headlines_nhl It's a sign, Marty. You need to defer more of the workload to Weekes. I'm pretty sure that this is the only way that Weeks will get into more then 10 games this season. I hope Marty's injury is not worse then they are saying. I would love to see him erase Roys name from the record books for most wins. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AtomicPunk 296 Report post Posted November 3, 2008 If you saw the game, it did not look like an elbow to me, it looked more like a groin. He went down awkwardly and tried to do the splits again to make a save, and came up holding his elbow. If he is hurt, I don't know how it can be the elbow that didn't touch anything.

digitaljohn88 4 Report post Posted November 3, 2008 Everyone's saying it's a hyperextended elbow or a torn ligament or something like that, more serious than an "elbow bruise". Kevin Weekes (Devils backup) had an "elbow bruise", which actually turned out to be a torn ligament that required surgery. New Jersey's season could take an interesting turn if Brodeur is out for a long time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Esquire 324 Report post Posted November 4, 2008 Unreal. I guess this is a plus for us since we play the Devils on Saturday. I was kind of concerned about facing Brodeur since we've got 5 DAYS off before we were supposed to face them. Bummer for Brodeur though. Should make the record chasing pretty interesting when he gets back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Blazer 0 Report post Posted November 4, 2008 Damn, I'm not feeling that sorry for him being injuried, alas the guy has barely missed any games all career, insane numbers for a goalie that wise. But four months, I guess his streak of at least 34 wins per season had to end at some point, now at 12 including last season. Should make a fun January for the Devils though, if he makes it back in under three months. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Torless 0 Report post Posted November 4, 2008 I think all of this just goes to show the problem with risking it all on Brodeur... Weekes is not ready because he never gets to play... and they can pick up a nomad goalie for the season but they really need to find a franchise replacement for Marty He's not getting any younger - or healthier Godspeed Marty - hope you can come back in time to smash Patty Roy's numbers this season.

russianswede919293 95 Report post Posted November 4, 2008 Honestly I think that maybe they learn that Marty isnt a spring chicken and they start to give him a 55 game workload after this season...granted it was a fluke injury, but it is also time to prepare for what life without Marty could be like in NJ...and its a scary thought for Devils fans.
