Is Martin Brodeur done as an elite goalie?

yisman · 03-08-10, 02:03 AM

no.

He's been one of the best goalies in the NHL this year. He's going through a rough patch but he'll bounce back.

oj-thejuice · 03-08-10, 03:23 AM

i agree with yisman

yunnusan · 03-08-10, 04:39 AM

everyone has bad days. he is having some. you can't be perfect

OTL · 03-08-10, 04:40 AM

He bounced back today with a strong game against Edmonton. Unfortunately the rest of his team forgot to show up.

n3uraxis · 03-08-10, 04:46 AM

i hate when goalie tries to do everything to keep the team in play,but rest of team just skates around.

dvw5bf · 03-08-10, 09:02 AM

He is no where near done. Sure, he does have rough patches and with age those rough patches may seem to get a little rougher. But when he is playing his best, or even playing his "mediocre", he is top class.

it has a lot to do with the devils play right now too i think

Mudcat · 03-08-10, 09:53 AM

Marty still has gas left in the tank.

Canada · 03-08-10, 10:00 AM

He ain't no louongo, but he is still better than most.

PuckCoach · 03-08-10, 10:00 AM

He's still very good but not on the top tier anymore, just my opinion.

RbN · 03-08-10, 10:51 AM

He is a bad goalie, told ya to bet on Edmonton cuz of Brodeur.

spartiatis · 03-08-10, 12:06 PM

I think he'll bounce back, but he is not the goalie he used to be.

So you're wrong twice.

A)Brodeur isn't a bad goalie, and only a fool would say that.

B)He isn't the reason the Devils lost last night.

he is fine

Totally agree. You can't say he's a bad goalie, just because of few bad games.

phxcoyotes · 03-08-10, 02:10 PM

He is not what he used to be

At the moment he is a bad goalie and that can be said. He has never been great, chokes on big moments. Halak, Miller, Vokoun is another class.

BigdaddyQH · 03-08-10, 04:48 PM

He is not the goalie that he was, but with all that mileage on him, what do you expect? He still is one of the better goalies around. He is not a Top 3 goalie, but still is in the Top 10.

Soxsfan9 · 03-08-10, 04:50 PM

I hope he bounces back he is KILLING my Fantasy team right now! haha

He mentioned in an interview that he was fighting the puck against calgary but was happy with his play in Edmonton and want to build on that game, for what its worth.

I wonder how many of the people saying he sucks have actually watched him play during his career.

"chokes on big moments"

Yep.

Jrod124 · 03-08-10, 05:33 PM

agreed guy is still a legit goalie though

He blew game 7 last year in the playoffs, choked at the olympics and is falling apart right now. Is he done ? I think so

icecapper · 03-08-10, 09:55 PM

I think Marty is done as an elite goalie. Despite that, he is still a very good goaltender that 20 other teams would be happy to have. Lots of years playing 60+ games are starting to take a toll on him, but i'd still take him during a playoff run.

cruyff · 03-08-10, 10:22 PM

Marty will go on a playoff run and win the Eastern Conference for the Devils this year. You heard it here first.

podunk · 03-09-10, 12:50 AM

i also think he'll bounce back

Eleven · 03-09-10, 05:07 AM

Hes getting up there, only thing wrong with him is his ego wont let the backup get more games.

Miser · 03-09-10, 08:14 AM

he's still good enuf I think

I agree with you Yisman. He'll rebound.

PuckOff · 03-09-10, 12:22 PM

Brodeur has 2 - 3 solid years left in him.

scottcarter · 03-09-10, 12:57 PM

one of the best all time

Still has lots in the tank and is rarely the reason the Devils lose.

lakerboy · 03-10-10, 02:59 AM

LOL the question was is he an elite goalie still? Clemmensen had great #s last year too with NJ def style. Brodeur is not an elite goalie anymore.

juuso · 03-10-10, 03:10 AM

Still as good as ever.
