Martin Brodeur Best Quotations

He wanted us to have the best system we could, and I think he never really approved of what we took.

I think ... we're going to put this aside for two weeks, playing hockey against the best players in the world. I think definitely the distraction is you guys bringing it up to us because we don't bring it up to each other at all.

While you're fighting for a playoff spot, you might as well try to get the best spot possible.

To me, he was always a safety valve, knowing that I had one of the best competitors in the game in front of me. To be the captain of three Stanley Cup teams, you don't do that by chance. It's because you've done something great in your career.

We didn't give them our best game, that's for sure. We turned the puck over, made a lot of mistakes. (But) Rick played tremendous. He made the saves when he needed too.

I'm sure it's not where everybody thought we'd be. Hopefully, the suicide game will be good for us. A lot of times it brings out the best in players. We need these players to step up and get us through the next game.

It was nice to have home ice advantage against these guys and we took advantage of it. The guys played well offensively, we buried some great opportunities and special teams again was a big factor. We put ourselves in a great position but we've got to make the best out of it.

As far as I'm concerned, he's the best hockey player that I've played against.

If he doesn't go, people will say that means it's true and that's why he' not going. So, how do you deal with it? He's always been a gentleman about everything and he's always going to put what's best for the team first, so I don't think this is going to be any different.
