I like Brodeur's comment that people who criticize him, have never stopped a puck in their lives. I think most people who dont know very much about hockey, will only look at the last thing that happened, the puck getting past the goaltender, and deduce that this is the defining moment of the play and in this case the series. The goaltender can be held accountable in certain situations, but just because he is the last thing one sees leading up to opposition scoring, that shouldnt automatically lead to the conclusion that he lost the game for the team. Were first and second shots stoppable? Yes. But how many scorable and clearable plays were there that were not made by the Devils throughout the series? A defender clearing the puck or a forward scoring can turn the play around just as much as goaltender stopping the puck. Bottom line, they failed as a team.
