Martin Brodeur*...
I think it's funny how little press is going to the fact that Martin Brodeur isn't really the winningest goalie in NHL history. Everyone is talking about him like he's Jesus on Ice, when in reality he hasn't broken Patrick Roy's all-time wins record.See, Brodeur has won 27 shootouts, putting his real win number at 525.(I see people comparing this to Roger Maris...

The New Jersey Devils signed defenseman Anssi Salmela this the same guy that David Backes beat the snot out of during he 2008 IIHF Ice Hockey World Championships. It makes me wonder if Backes and Salmela will take another dance this next season? Gary Betteman announced this past winter that "every team will play every other team at least once."
Hopefully next time Salmela...

Right Through the 5 Hole: Martin Brodeur Hit With $500,000/Year Alimony Order
Martin Brodeur, perhaps the greatest goalie in the history of hockey, has been ordered by a judge to pay his ex-wife $500,000 in yearly alimony until 2020...
Congrats?
There is no way Martin Brodeur is better than Patrick Roy.Roy reinvented the position of goaltender in the NHL. Before him, the majority of goalies simply stood there and watched pucks fly by. Roy brought the butterfly to prominence and used it to dominate the most offensive era in NHL history. Here's a sample of how good Roy was, using his Vezina winning years... - 1988-89...

Turco and going forward
I'm not sure if Marty Turco reads this blog, but he obviously is aware of his role on the team and how he feels about what he needs to do.
I think if you look around the league, goalies are becoming leaders _ even outspoken leaders. Martin Brodeur handles it with a lot of class in New Jersey (grante...
OT WinA fun game to watch as both teams showed spirited play. The Jackets were a bit frustrated as they kept racking up penalties (Tyutiin had four minors) and providing the excellent Chicago power play unit chances. Both goalies looked suspect early then played into form. Each team's penalty killing units had breakaways stopped by the goalies. After searching I discovered that...
