being recognized as the leagues top goaltender at the award announcement last night in Toronto.Brodeur's four Vezinas rank second only to the recently retired Dominik Hasek (Six wins) on the Vezina list and this one may be the most deserving one of the four.
Evgeni Nabokov of San Jose was deserving as well,but having watched Brodeur in action all season,this might have been his best year.
The Devils are far from the most talented team and the Devils playoff season (and near Atlantic Division title to a vastly more talented Pittsburgh team) can be accredited to Marty and his play.
Lately the knock on the Devils has been their playoff exits (2 second round and this years opening round),but what the Devil haters just don't realize is the talent gap between New Jersey and many of the teams in the conference-some of which the Devils still finish ahead of!
That difference maker is Marty Brodeur and here is to more great seasons and more Vezinas.
It certainly will be different watching Devils hockey when Brodeur skates off to the Hall of Fame.
The Big League Stew blog is doing a series on each ballpark in baseball and
used the best as their first post in Pittsburgh's PNC Park.PNC got 85 % A grades and the article covers the ballpark,the city and things to do in the area as well.
The picture of PNC from opening day shown here is from the article.
Very interesting and Cleveland's Progressive (Jacobs) Field is the next in the series.
Stumbled on a site filled with pics from the old Richfield Coliseum.
I have been looking for something on the Coliseum this comprehensive for quite a while!
The author does not allow use without permission even if given credit,but it is quite good and I love the background music from the Michael Stanley band!
Now for some pics of my arena haunt-the Capital Centre!
I will be in Frederick tonight to catch the Potomac Nationals against the Keys and On the signing front will cover how things went tomorrow
And finally,the Hamilton Tiger-Cats started their pre-season play with a 12-10 win over the Winnipeg Blue Bombers.
Timmy Chang (Hawaii) led the Cats to their winning score in the 3rd quarter.
Hard to believe that CFL football is here already!
