Scott Wedgewood might never make much noise as a goaltender in the NHL, but nothing speaks louder about the kid than the design he choose for his goalie mask. I mean, David Putty the Devils fan from 'Seinfeld'? I almost feel like we should have to make room on the roster for the person responsible for something that awesome. Fuck 12 forwards, 6 defenseman, and 2 goalies. Give me 11 forwards, 6 defenseman, 2 goalies, and a Scott Wedgewood. I just don't know if I can truly enjoy a Devils win anymore unless I know that Scott Wedgewood, and his unparalleled love for good programming, is enjoying it with me. Obviously I could never advocate him taking the place of Cory Schneider or Keith Kinkaid because they are far better goalies. However, would it really hurt this team to dump one of their dearth of 4th liners to get Wedge and his taste in television on to the active roster? I've got to imagine his sense of humor would be a welcomed addition to the locker room. I know he's not NHL ready, but his mask absolutely is, and it just doesn't seem fair that is has to be wasted in the minors, even if that is where a man of his talent level belongs. I respect the farm system as much as anyone else, but no one is painting their face and losing their shit for the Albany Devils, That's why Wedgewood needs to get called up. Even if it's just to choose which 'Seinfeld' episode to watch on the team flights.
