I'm continually baffled by the fact that Devils fans think "The Queen" is a clever nickname. It's like reading comments on articles where the least educated political posters use terms like 'Republitards' and 'Democraps'
This generation is destroying one of mankind's greatest achievements in the written word.
Hard to take what Brodeur say about Lundqvist very seriously. He's had a habit over the years of putting Henrik down. Definitely don't think there is any good will there.
Agreed.
I can see right through Brodeur.
Really? I can't even see around him.
Why are they interviewing him about Henrik? lol
Do you guys think Brodeur can get to 700?
I was going to say yes, but I heard he cut out carbs.
I was listening to WFAN the other day (I don't even know who was hosting cause Joe is covering Mike that week), but some guy called in and compared Lundqvist to Tony Romo and Brodeur to Eli. His logic was Lundqvist and Romo have all the sexy stats but can never win. Eli and Brodeur are underrated but all they do is win. They don't have great stats, but they have championships.
That's your classic Yankee/Devil/Giant fan tool that ruins NY sports fans for me. I mean fans of all 9 teams are generally bad, but that fan is the worst. A spoiled little brat, where all his teams win and feels entitled to success. We all know a person like that.
Really? he thought that? where was he living? I have even seen people that are Rangers fans give him credit for what he has done and referred to Marty as the greatest ever but he's underrated lol
I'd say Lundqvist is a lot more accomplished than Romo and calling Brodeur underrated makes me physically ill.

Agreed with this post.
I find it more interesting why they would even compare these two as if Lundqvist is anywhere even close to Brodeur. He's not and will never be. As much as it pains me to say Brodeur is one of the best goalies to ever play the game. Lundqvist might reach top 10-15 goaltender all time if he has the same longevity (holding on too long).
This is the opposite of logic in my opinion. I guess it's a good thing my opinion doesn't really matter.
Seriously, the bolded is the motherload.
Not sure why saying Lundqvist could be a top 10-15 net-minder when he retires is so outside the realm of possibility.
He's already 28th in all-time wins. For all intents and purposes, he'll probably be slotted at 24th all time after this season. (Billy Smith is currently 24th with 305 wins). 11th in all-time GAA. 3rd in all-time save percentage. 27th in shutouts.
Rangers fans are so spoiled, and most of us don't even realize it.
Quite simply because, unbelievably, the stats make him look worse than the video shows…and behind the team he did.
To say he wouldn't likely hit the top 5, top 3 is quite ridiculous to me, again- health permitting. He sure is on pace.
OK the unbolded is an even greater injustice toward proper analysis of this game.
"As if Lundqvist is anywhere even close to Brodeur. He's not and never will be." Come on.
Agreed. Marty had 15 years of play behind some all-star defense that excelled at trap hockey. Any goalie that was able to stay healthy during that era would be near marty's stats, especially playing on a team with a defensive squad run by Scott Stevens, Scott Nediermayer, and Bruce Driver...
