Habs Eyes On The Prize It's not uncommon for NHL Awards voters to get things wrong. In the 2003-2004 season, Martin Brodeur won his second Vezina Trophy. That year, he posted a .917 save percentage in 75 games. The same year, Roberto Luongo had a .931 save percentage in 72 games. Yeah, doesn't get much worse than that. Some day, Roberto Luongo probably won't make the Hall of Fame on account of his lack of individual hardware, and his inability to win a Stanley Cup. For just the opposite reason, Brodeur will likely go down as the "greatest goalie of all time." This is all just a round-about way of conveying h...

Mile High Hockey In CBC's 30 Thoughts, Brodeur confirms he isn't considering retirement. 9. Martin Brodeur, asked if we could consider retiring: "Why would I? I've still got the fire." Wonder why Kane has a mullet? It started out as a joke. Carmelo Preiti cut Patrick Kane’s hair for the first time in training camp four years ago. It became a monthly ritual, with the Chicago Blackhawks forward visiting the upscale salon throughout the season. When the playoffs arrived, Kane wanted something new. He asked Preiti for his opinion. Preiti, the son of a barber, showed Kane an old picture of Jaromir ...
Colorado Avalanche May 2, 2013Fire & Ice | Bergen Record Devils goaltender Martin Brodeur, who will turn 41 one week from today, has said many times already that he will come back next season and play out the second and final season on his contract. That doesn’t mean that next season will definitely be Brodeur’s last, though. “Not at all,” the future Hall of Famer said today. “It’s the last year on my contract and that’s about it. This year, even though we didn’t make the playoffs, I had a great time playing the game. I really had a good time competing at the level I wanted to compete (at) and if it stays like that and I’m still having fun, who kno...

New York Rangers April 27, 2013Fire & Ice | Bergen Record Martin Brodeur will watch the Devils play their regular season finale against the Rangers Saturday afternoon at Madison Square Garden from the visiting bench at Johan Hedberg’s backup.

Brodeur, who will turn 41 on May 6, has talked about someday moving into the management side of things after he retires, but he plans to play at least one more season, so he’s not going to be involved in any ...
New Jersey Devils April 27, 2013Fire & Ice | Bergen Record Martin Brodeur’s 2012-13 season appears to be over. Johan Hedberg will start in net for the Devils when they play their season finale Saturday afternoon against the Rangers at Madison Square Garden. So, the only way Brodeur will play another minute this season is if Hedberg has to come out of Saturday’s game for some reason. “If it meant something, I was going to play, but it doesn’t,” Brodeur said. “Getting booed for two hours for no reason, I don’t know if I was really up to it. If it meant something, I didn’t mind.” Brodeur said he actually enjoys when the crowd gets on him at the Garden...

New Jersey Devils April 26, 2013Fire & Ice | Bergen Record Near the end of today’s morning skate at Prudential Center, the Devils’ last morning skate of this season, goaltender Martin Brodeur had right David Clarkson line up three pucks about 10 feet from the net for three mini breakaways.

April 23, 2013Fire & Ice | Bergen Record The Devils are playing the Canadiens tonight, so it was pretty much a given that Martin Brodeur, a Montreal native, would start in net regardless of whether the Devils were still in playoff contention. They were eliminated mathematically with Sunday’s 4-1 loss to the Rangers, though, so there are some changes to the lineup tonight and likely some to come in the final two regular season games Thursday night against Pittsburgh at Prudential Center and Saturday afternoon at Madison Square Garden. “I know I’m playing today.” Brodeur said. “I’m not going to play on Thursday. And we don’t know abo...
