Stevens - Because he's the Captain
Lemaire - Because he made us the Devils
Lamoriello - Because he kept us the Devils
McMullen - Because without him there are no Devils
Edit: For Brodeur we'll build the Sistine Chapel.
He also wasn't half the player Stevens was.Sorry but Daneyko should be up there above Stevens. The guy epitomized what it was to be a Devils player, he played his entire career here which started when people thought the team was a joke.
He won all 3 championships, a culmination of years of hard work and dedication to the crest on the front. He wasn't the best d-man, he wasn't the best skater or shooter either...but the guy was fierce, he played with all heart and like I said....he played for the front of the jersey and not the back or the money.
I don't care about the memories Stevens gave us over Kenny, he never tried to bail, he never bought into the concept our franchise was a joke and he'd be better off elsewhere. Whether he learned his lesson and put his foot in his mouth or not, Stevens was originally miserable here and tried to jump ship first chance he got after arriving. To me that alone puts Daneyko above him, because while he'll be a permanent staple in this franchise forever, he'll never be what #3 was in terms of the long-haul. Stevens showed up when this team was on the up, his most miserable season next to probably 1994 was 1996 when we missed the playoffs after winning the cup. He didn't endure half of what Kenny did before finally getting to the top.
I rest my case. Please send donations to my paypal account. Kthxbi.
He also wasn't half the player Stevens was.
Which I said, and which really just proves my point. When you're going to make a shrine of people who were important to this franchise, Kenny was and continues to be. He wasn't a great player and he was personally flawed...but he was able to achieve the same greatness by being dedicated and playing with heart.
This franchise has been built on "no-name" guys "over-achieving." Kenny represents that more than Scotty does...and he also didn't attempt to bail because he never wanted to come here in the first place.
I mean c'mon, the guy didn't even know where NJ was when he was drafted.
Based on 666's theory:
Ken Daneyko
Bruce Driver
Rob Skrlac
Grant Marshall
I keed I keed 666...don't beat me up.
I think this is nonsense. Just because the rest of the NHL and the media thinks that it's true, doesn't make it so. I mean, look at the teams we've had and the talent on those teams. The only championship team that I can point at and say "those guys overachieved" was 2003, and we won that cup on the back of Niedermayer, Brodeur, and Langenbrunner.
If the Devils built Mt. Rushmore, Vish would break it by sneezing.
The Danis would rebuild it. With his goalie glove.
