Martin Brodeur Back On His Skates
A bit more than a week after spraining his right knee, New Jersey Devils goaltender Martin Brodeur skated around for a few minutes in Tuesday's practice.
Head coach Jacques Lemaire says he expects Bordeur to be on the ice again today. There's no timeline set for Brodeur's return, so the team is taking it one day at a time. When he's ready to go he'll be back on the ice.
Brodeur has been one of the most durable goaltenders in NHL history, playing all eighteen years of his professional career in New Jersey. Thirteen of those seasons had him between the pipes for 67 or more games, and five seasons of 75 or more games. He was also protecting the net in all three of the franchise's Stanley Cup championships.
I've watched a lot of hockey, and as many times as the Devils have played on satellite TV, it's possible I've seen Bordeur play more than any other goaltender. Here's to a speedy recover, Martin. The Devils are just better when you're their starting keeper!
