History - 400 Wins

modestjesse by modestjesseOG 2004 · Mar 24, 2004 · 128 views

On March 23, 2004, Devils' goaltender Martin Brodeur became just the eighth goaltender in history to reach the 400-win mark, joining Patrick Roy (551), Terry Sawchuk (447), Jacques Plante (435), Ed Belfour (430), Tony Esposito (423), Glenn Hall (407), and Grant Fuhr (403). At 31 years, 322 days old, he would be the youngest to accomplish the feat. Brodeur reached the 400 win plateau faster than any other goaltender in terms of games played (735).

Brodeur made 21 saves to reach the Milestone missing in his last two attempts. The 31-year-old accomplished the feat in fewer games than anybody else. Over all, Brodeur is 400-215-105 in 12 seasons. Patrick Roy is the all-time leader with 551 wins.

Yet again this proves that Brodeur is on track to be the best goalie ever to play the game. 151 wins away from tieing Roy, it's bound to happen eventually. And I'm sure another cup or two will be in Broduers future.

CONGRATS TO HOTTIE GOALIE BRODEUR....

*passing my boy Roy....hmmmm, don't think so....LOL

As far as another Stanley Cup.....hate to break this to you....NOT THIS YEAR....its all about my boys and the AVS!!!

WEST COAST NOTE: Mr Luc Robatille, became the highest goal scorer for a left wing in monday nights game....

modestjesse #1.1 modestjesseOG 2004

He will beat Roy, its inevitable. And you're probably right about the Devs not winning the cup this year. But this is the 8th consecutive time they've clinched the playoff birth.

And I saw that about Robatille on Monday I think it was. That's awesome, and to think he was critisized for so many years.

perrin #1.2 perrinOG 2004

One thing you have to keep in mind though is that the Devil's usually play better in the playoffs so we shall see about this.

socalgal #1.2.1 socalgalOG 2003

but playoffs don't count right? don't they have their own #"s to go by???

modestjesse #1.2.1.1 modestjesseOG 2004

I don't think so, a win is a win, how else could have Roy and Brodeur could have done it?

Even looking at the list those are all guys who were with teams that have won multiple cups, so they've been in plenty of playoff games.

socalgal socalgalOG 2003

according to mission hockey....there are different totals. there's playoff totals and then there's regular season totals. Theres more of a graphic explanation BUT to simplify, there's 2 separate totals

perrin perrinOG 2004

Yeah but don't they combine the totals for certain things as well? I thought so.

socalgal socalgalOG 2003

just as an overall glance, but as far as "records" go, they're separate

perrin perrinOG 2004

Oh ok if you say so I have no idea that's why I was asking. :)

perrin #1.2.2 perrinOG 2004

I was reffering to the AVS going all the way and the Devils not making it this year. lol

socalgal #1.2.2.1 socalgalOG 2003

OHHHHH, but see my dear....they won't this time....AVS ALL THE WAY!!!!! lol

perrin perrinOG 2004

As I said the Devils are a playoff team and we shall see about that. :-P

socalgal socalgalOG 2003

hmmmm.....WE SHALL!!!! lol

*hey the dux played the RW on Sun & my dear man chelios was buggin lupal and ended up getting a 4 minute minor - LOL they shoulda given kicked him outta the game!!!!

perrin perrinOG 2004

You know what they need to do is have the whole team just turn on him and have all of them pull a chelios on him all at once. How great would that be. lol

socalgal socalgalOG 2003

i would pay a TON of money to see that! LOL

perrin perrinOG 2004

Yeah I would too. It would be so fitting
