I don't bash the devils...they are very good at what they do...and what they do is win, but also make hockey extremely boring to watch. I do bash their goalie... Martin Brodeur, talk about the most overrated goalie in hockey. The Devils' defense is amazing, I'm so sick of hearing Brodeur this and Brodeur that...if he played on the Rangers he would be splitting time with Dunham, he's about as good as Mike Dunham. He's an average NHL goalie with a Hall of Fame defense in front of him. Watching the Rangers with Richter in his last few years, there is no doubt that Richter was a better goalie. He had no defense and made the most spectacular saves I have ever seen. C'mon, Brodeur's backups, Corey Schwab, and Scott Clemmensen have lower GAA's than him. Schwab has a 0.68 GAA or something like that, and Clemmensen got a shutout in the only game he played this year. I can't stand Martin Brodeur and how he's so "great," the only thing he's an All-Star at is cheating on his wife with his wife's sister.
Ok, you obviously have NO IDEA of what your talking about. The only hall of fame defensemen in front of Brodeur now are Stevens and Niedermeyr. Richter was a great goalie, and he did have a great team in front of him, well in '94 anyway, but he's no Brodeur.
You need to look at stats. Patrick Roy is the best goalie to have played the game. Brodeur is talked about so much because he's on track to break all of Roy's records. Roy has won 4 cups (2 in Montreal 2 in Colorodo) while Martin has 3 already (all in NJ). I don't have the time right now, but I did in the past sit down and compare all the stats between the two. Broduer will break all of Roy's records, watch, it will happen. Most shutouts per season, I think he might already have.
You can't rag on Brodeur, he's one of the best to play that position. He's still young and has plenty of time to catch up to Roy, especially since Roy isn't playing any more.
Face it, the Rangers suck, and now they went out and picked up Jagr and they still can't score a goal. You're just jealous. :P /jk
I think you're being a little harsh there.
although i agree its a little harsh, but i must agree, Roy is one of the games BEST goalies ever!
Defenitly he was amazing. If I could make up my own dream team he would totally be the goalie I picked.
I'd pick Brodeur over Roy.
Imagine being able to see both of them in their prime head to head? That would have been a good patch up. We did see it but Roy was beyond his prime and Brodeur was just getting into it.
I don't know if you realized this or not but Duhnam was on the Devils and ever remained the backup goalie.
