Brodeur was relaxed and happy after practice Tuesday, glad to talk about his latest record. Last season he passed Patrick Roy on the career victories list. In five games, he will pass Roy’s mark for games played by a goalie, 1,029. But there is pittsburgh penguins jerseysomething special about Brodeur’s passing Sawchuk, who lives in hockey’s collective imagination as a dark, brooding figure of ineffable excellence, a man who died at 40 after horseplay or a fight with a teammate on a Long Island front lawn in the summer of 1970.
(Hainsworth, who played in the 1920s and ’30s, earned 94 shutouts in the N.H.L. and 10 in the old Western Hockey League, which hockey historians consider a major league.)
“People talk to me aboutchicago blackhawks jersey Sawchuk a lot, and some reporter gave me a replica mask of his,” said Brodeur, who blanked Buffalo on Monday, 3-0. “He was one of the greatest. He had the wins record till Patrick beat him, the shutout record till I tied him yesterday. He must have done something really good.”
And his next shutout boston bruins jerseywill give him sole possession of the N.H.L. standard and tie him with George Hainsworth for the most major league shutouts.
