Outstanding


5 conference finals.
4 Cup finals.
3 Cups.
2 Vezinas.
And 1, soon to be 2, Olympic gold medals.

Now, Marty Brodeur has signed a six-year, $31M deal where he'll receive exactly the same salary he's making now every year over the course of the contract to stay in New Jersey. What a competitor. Here's a guy who loves to win and knows what it means to be loyal. Marty is a role model for all athletes (even if he did schlup his wife's brother's wife a few years back). If all goes well, he'll stay in red, white and black his whole career, just like Kenny Daneyko before him (who is going to have his number 3 retired on March 24). I'm hopeful that if the Devils franchise remains competitive, and there's no reason they shouldn't, he'll surpass Patrick Roy on the all-time wins list for goaltenders.

Go Devs Go.

How has he only won 2 Vezina's? As I Leaf fan I can honestly say, despite rivalries with the Habs and Sens, the Devils have caused me more misery over the years than anybody else. And it's due primarily to this guy.
