Devils: Brodeur Approaches the Peak

Talk to anyone who ever has been a teammate of Martin Brodeur and he'll tell you that among the goaltender's most appealing traits is his laid-back-ability. Sports Illustrated author Michael Farber underlined this point in a recent article that featured Brodeur's colleagues discussing The Man who, on Saturday night in Montreal, could tie Patrick Roy's NHL record of 551 wins. One who knows Marty well -- they were business partners in a Montreal pizza place -- is veteran NHL defenseman Sheldon Souray. The onetime New Jersey Devil and now with Edmonton, recalls a typical Brodeur dressing room vignette.
