Not sure if anyone caught this yesterday

I hear Mark Messier had some comments saying that Scott Niedermayer should have won the Conn Smythe last season. Good for him. Thats how I saw it as well.

Me too.

Gee, give Messier a sweet cross-ice backhanded pass for a slam-dunk goal and he'll give you the Conn Smythe!

ST. PAUL, Minn.—As Adrian Aucoin and Scott Niedermayer shook hands and parted ways after yesterday's NHL All-Star Game, Aucoin had some kind and insightful words for his defence partner."Now I know why you're so hard to beat," Aucoin told Niedermayer, who was plus-3 in the Eastern Conference's 6-4 win over the Western Conference. "You were back there cleaning up my trash most of the game."

On ABC, they mentioned Nieds when they were suggesting possible MVPs before Sakic's third goal, saying he was a leading +3, but no one will notice.

Forgot about JD's comment mentioned on the Brodeur thread on the NHL board, about Marty determining whether to play the puck or freeze it, depending how he thought face-offs were going that night.

Melrose had some nice words for Brodeur and I heard the ABC guys crediting the loyal Devils fans for supporting their team with the 3 players who were nominated which was nice. Fun game to watch yesterday.

Yeah I heard that too, also read somewhere Marty was talking bout the fan base and how it's a good one and then critizise the medowlands arena and its location as the problem with the attendance, saying something in effect that if you don't pay attention you can be past the arena two exits before you even know it.

Hehehehe. Yeah, I heard him say you could miss the first two periods of the game if you weren't careful on the turnpike.

"Niedermayer and Aucoin will play together at the World Cup"

Do you think Quinn wasn't going to take advantage of an allstar game for nothing. I thought they were excellent together.

Yeah that was it, you will miss two periods. At least the players understand our problems with the Meadowlands.
