--> New Jersey Devils’ goaltender Martin Brodeur broke the all-time NHL career shutout record, previously held by Terry Sawchuk, on Monday night with a 4-0 win over the Pittsburgh Penguins. Brodeur, who already owned the lead in regular season wins and minutes played, can now add most shutouts in NHL history to his resume. Who would have thought that the Devils would have the best record in the NHL (26-8) at this point in the season after trading most of their star players last season? The answer is no one, with an exception to maybe the Devil’s owner Jeff Vanderbeek. It just goes to show you, defense wins games, and in Marty’s case it sets records too. The Devils’ combination of young talent and veteran leadership has been a winning one. Maybe this is the year for the Devil’s to capture their fourth Stanley Cup win in franchise history. One thing is for sure; the Devils need to keep Broduer in goal for as long as he’s breathing. The man is a legend, a man amongst boys, and a class act ON THE ICE. I say on the ice because he and Tiger have the same troubles away from the ice and the course. When you are at the top of your respective sport, morals need not apply. In Broduers case it was his wife’s brother’s wife. Talk about a tongue twister! Literally. Play on player, play on.
