Great correlation, too, by the way.
I'll say that.
Brodeur is a goalie.
Marty, one of the greatest goalies of all time.
Fatso.
Fatso forgot to shake my hand.
I'm a forward.
Our job is to basically...
get in front of his face and cause some sort of obstruction, kill his line of sight.
That's really what you want to do.
As a player, you don't want to be one-on-one with a goalie because he has sight on the puck.
You want to shoot through a screen.
All the great goal scorers, they shoot through screens.
So it's like a seeing eye puck, okay?
my job was to not touch the really the puck because i'm on the ice with scott gomez legendary uh gomer alaskan born uh chris drury who's now the general manager of the the rangers brendan shanahan and yaramir yager in my opinion the greatest european player of all time
So my job is to make sure that I can break that sight line so that one of these superstars can get a puck into the net.
When I go to the front of the net and Martin Brodeur, the goalie who is a wily veteran, like a G, an OG.
He was a shithouser.
He knew how to play the game.
And I would go to the front of the net and in hockey skates, if you poke a guy behind his knees, because our blades are rockered, you can use the momentum and the guy will just go ass over tea kettle.
