Penalties are only the beginning

TITLE: Chronicles of East Rutherford
AUTHOR: Jennie
CHARACTERS: The New Jersey Devils, but especially Martin Brodeur (the speaker), and Patrik Elias of the New Jersey Devils.
SUMMARY: This takes place post game 5 of the 2nd round. No one expected the Devils to go as far as they did. But saying things like that don’t make the loss any easier.
RATING: G 
DISCLAIMER: If I owned the things mentioned in this story, I might be called a pimpette. But I’m not, so I don’t. Oh, and I’m not a fly on the wall, so my guess is that this is all fiction.
A/N: Sarge is Sergei Brylin (rarely speaks to media, though he’s been on all of the Devils cup teams), Dano is Ken Daneyko (played 21 seasons with the Devils), Kozzy is Viktor Kozlov (hasn’t produced for the Devils, but a fellow Russian of Serge’s who never speaks to the media.), Marty (if you don’t know Marty, you’re living under a rock. If goalies were captains, he’d be one. Always speaks to the media and isn’t afraid to be honest.) has 12 years left on his contract and a no trade clause, Petr is Petr Sykora, Jason is Jason Arnott, and, along with Patty, they made up the A-Line, this amazing offensive line for NJ during the 99-01 seasons. Jason was traded (with Randy McKay) to Dallas, Petr was traded to Anaheim, and Patty’s stayed here. Nieds is Scott Niedermayer who left us to play with his brother in Anaheim (I’m still bitter. He was the backbone of our defense.) and Scotty Stevens? He’s our version of the Rangers’ “Captain.”
