| Brodeur, Devils eliminated EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) - Martin Brodeur broke the NHL record for wins in a season, then broke down in the Stanley Cup playoffs. Now the New Jersey Devils are gone in the second round. After the Devils took an early lead in a one-sided first period, Brodeur was bombarded by three Ottawa goals on 19 shots in the middle frame, and the Senators went on to a 3-2 victory in Game 5 that knocked the Devils out of the post-season Saturday. Brodeur dominated during the season, winning 48 times in an astonishing 78 games - sitting out only four. At 34, Brodeur looked as good as ever. He wiped Bernie Parent's 33-year-old record for victories in a season out of the books, fell one short of Grant Fuhr's mark for appearances, and posted a career-high 12 shutouts. All that, along with a 2.18 goals-against average and .922 save percentage, made him a finalist to be the NHL MVP and the top goalie in the league. But none of it mattered much in what has become the real season in New Jersey - the playoffs. The Devils are used to carrying the Stanley Cup, winning three times between 1995 and 2003. Now they carry the burden of three straight seasons without getting to the conference finals. All star goalie Martin Brodeur can't carry Devils past second round Last edited by Lefty Noob : 05-06-2007 at 06:10 AM.      |

| Re: Brodeur, Devils eliminated Yeah, that was just dumb. I'm not going to say that lamoriello is the reason they didn't win, but they were a very good team with julien and "fixing" things that don't need fixing is just plain unreasonable. I'm disappointed, I'm down. Now they are talking Ottawa up to be a potential stanley cup champion and my world goes black. The Devils didn't have enough. here's to Gomez's amazing post season play and as always, a stellar brodeur who ran out of gas. Maybe it's karma - if only they'd played Brodeur that last game, the islanders might have lost and Toronto would have made the playoffs. The curse of the Maple Leafs.... |
