I think I might have to pick up Martin Brodeur's new book, which looks like it's filled with interesting stuff, like the following:
And finally, Brodeur also reveals a mistake made on Russia's winning goal in the quarter-final (Olympic) game by rookie phenom Alexander Ovechkin: he didn't know it was him shooting. For an instant, he confused the young right-handed star with a left-handed defenceman. From where the player was in front of the net and thinking it was a left-handed shot, he covered the lower part of the net. Ovechkin roofed it with his right-handed rocket."If I knew it was him he probably wouldn't have scored," Brodeur said Monday. "I just didn't see him there at all. I never noticed it was him. And that makes a big difference in the way I fell down."
It also looks like Brodeur isn't much of a fan of Patrick Roy, but outside of Montreal and Colorado, who does?
