Devils Martin Brodeur can tie the NHL all time record for wins tonight

Fittingly, in his home town of Montreal, Brodeur can tie the wins record held by former Montreal Canadiens and Colorado Nordilanche netminder Patrick Roy of 551. This is going to be, when he achieves it whether it's tonight or whenever, an amazing feat. Johnny already thinks Brodeur has surpassed Roy in the 'who's better' category. Though being a Wings fan Johnny is partial to Terry Sawchuk in the best ever category they would forever be 1 and 1A. Brodeur has shown class and never waivered in his excellence. A nice piece by Terry Frei on ESPN about who we rank netminders and Johnny thinks by decade is a great idea as the game has changed, so have the styles....
