I remember that. IIRC, Elias was with Marty for 80 shutouts and Stevens was for 70, maybe 71. Don't remember who else was up there (probably Sarge, Nieds, Dano, Whitey, etc.).

The way I remember it, Elias had 80; I think Sarge had 72; Pando, 71; and I think Stevens and Nieder both had 65 or something like that.

I could be wrong, though.

Assuming he avoids long term injuries and signs an extension after this contract he will reach 700 for sure. He'll hit 600 during this season. All this with approx 2 lost seasons worth of games. Its incredible.

While I dont think win/SO records will fall in my lifetime (and likely never), those missing 2 seasons show that it is still mathematically possible for someone else to top Brodeur's records.
It will take the perfect recipe to break them, but it could be done.

Where are you getting 24 losses from?

According to this site, Marty's played in 48 shootouts and won 33 of them:

can't recall. I was reading some canadian newspapers yesterday and saw the factoid. Seems like the site you mention is more accurate.

Looks like we were both close.

Thanks for clearing that up, SD!

I suck at remembering things the exact way that they happened. Maybe it was all that funny stuff I smoked back in the day. ... That's why I mostly only comment on the more emotional topics such as on-ice hits or fan atmosphere. I usually leave the trivia and strategies to other fans with clearer heads.

Although, every once in a while, I like my version of events better.

We all remember how physically talented Marty is, and how loyal he's been to the organization, but we forget his leadership, which is what sets him apart from Roy and Hasek IMO. He's always calm, and loyal to his guys. He build up the confidence of his d-men, which may not have been important when Nieds and Stevens were manning the blue line, but damn sure matters when kids like Martin, Oduya and Greene went through growing pains learning to anchor the d. Maybe another goalie could have won the 3 cups Marty won (not many other goalies, mind), but on one else could have kept the team playing strong while helping the kids on d develop. How many times has Marty quietly pointed something out to one of the kids? Hasek wouldn't know his name, and Roy would flip out at mistakes. If Marty wins one more cup, he will have officially done something no other goalie could do, and, quite frankly, I don't think he needs another cup for validation. I can say from experience that it's absolutely amazing playing with a goalie with a personality like Marty's. He's as close to a captain as any goalie could be (screw Luongo, and no disrespect to Langs). I complained post 80 seconds of hell, and I'm ashamed. It's been an honor to watch him.

Thanks and congratulations.

That's true. Marty helped the new era of Devils defensemen learn the NHL and kept this team competitive year after year. Hopefully Marty can get Cup #4 this season and shut up any haters out there.
