Congratulations goes out to Martin Brodeur who goes for win 551 tonight to pass Patrick Roy's record, well kind of. Now first off, I'd like to admit that this was Bob McCown's idea but it got me to thinking. Brodeur tied the record in Montreal of all places but the fact remains, his record is flawed. Brodeur got to this milestone in 43 less games then Roy. This seems impressive, minus the fact of the shootout. There is no such thing as a tie anymore. Those games are now wins or losses.
Q: How can you compare something that isn't the same?
A: You can't.
27 wins from the shootout for Marty. 0 from Roy.
So there you are.

are you saying roy is better? im alittle confused i agree with the shootout thing. but it still took patrick roy 1029 games to win 551 games. and it looks like its only going to take Matrin Brodeur 987 games to win 551. Still both amazing goalies. And are we going to get to read a blog about Martin passing terry sawchuks shutout record only 3 shutouts away to tie it now.
ReplyDeletekeep up the good work
They are both unreal goalies and I'm conflicted on who I really think is better.
ReplyDeleteBrodeur played 16 seasons, Roy 19.
Brodeur is about to pass the record with a win over Chicago tonight, but I still wonder if Marty is just a product of Lou's New Jersey system
So for sake of argument, I'll give the nod to Brodeur by a gold medal
cant blame the guy for having a good team, hes still gotta stop pucks, and part of the reason they are so good is because of him...at the same time, still a tough call as to who is better
ReplyDeleteHe's still a fat ass
