Pre-Brodeur Goaltenders

Before Marty, the Devils had a series of decent goalies (Burke, Terreri, Billington, Chico).

I was wondering how you Devils fans remember the days before #30.

Feel free to remininisce on the other goalies in Devils history.

Craig Billington for life.

Corey Schwab lived the thug life.


Although technically he wasn't pre Marty, he's just the last guy I remembered actually throwin the gloves down in a game.

The first devils game I ever went to Tererri was in net. He played horrible though.

oh and terreri was the man:yo:

I grew up on Alain Chevrier. Oof - those were the days :(

Don't forget Bob Sauve and his chocolate cupcake skates :)

I'll add Bob Sauve to the list before all the "also rans" are mentioned.

EDIT: Doh!!!!

I grew up on Alain Chevrier. Oof - those were the days :(

Thats where i was going. Many a decent goalies were stuck on a team that just couldn't do much. Burke stuck out huge with the 88 team and played great for a few seasons. CAT-Tererri took the reigns from him and was a stepping stone to Marty and was servicable. Mainly a great teamate. .
Then the rest was history....

Peter Sidorkiewicz & Kirk Mclean had a cup of coffee.....

Main Keepers were

Still have a soft spot for Burke. I thought he was a good goalie who really never got a shot to be the number one. He was always looked at as a 1A or backup type goalie.

I thought he was the starter for at least 2 of the 3 full seasons that he played for the Devils and was the starter after he joined the team after the Olympics in the '87/88 season.

I meant after he left the Devils. He did get some shots but I never felt he was really relied upon for more than a season or two.

Because he's a bit of a nutjob. He's still the only player to ever give me the finger during a game.

What did you do to deserve it? That's hilarious.

There was nothing before Brodeur.

I was a huge Tererri fan before Brodeur came along. He had that flopping and flailing style of goaltending. I remember being a little annoyed when this kid with the thick French accent started taking Chirs' playing time.

I guess it worked out well enough in the end, though. :handclap:

Never really thought the Devils Goaltenders were any special til Brodeur came along. It wasn't just his ability but his personality. Marty was a real friendly and outspoken guy. You couldn't help but like him.

Chico Fits that Description!!!!

I loved him...of course I was 7 when he was in net...wrote him a letter and got an autograph. lol
