We don’t do lots of sports at Pursuitist – there’s so many great sites that already cover the activities. But we’d be remiss not to mention the New Jersey Devil’s Martin Brodeur, who set a NHL record with his 104th career shutout. Brodeur now holds the record for the most wins by a goalie as well most games – all the while playing for the Devils these past 16 years. It’s been a truly remarkable career, and one that deserves an admiring nod.
Martin Brodeur broke the NHL record with his 104th career shutout, and maybe the only surprise was how easily it came against the Stanley Cup champion Pittsburgh Penguins. Brodeur needed to make only a few difficult saves while breaking Terry Sawchuk’s shutout record, further strengthening his case to be considered as the best goaltender to play the game, and the streaking New Jersey Devils had little trouble beating Pittsburgh 4-0 on Monday night. – From ESPN
