Hear me out because the title of this post would make one think that I am putting Marty Brodeur down but I am not. For years I have felt that the Devils Organization has put so much faith in Marty's ability to escape injury they've never sat down and said "what if". Now we don't know what Marty's injury is all about so there is a lot of speculation out there. The Devils are saying its an "elbow bruise" but that can mean anything. If you look around the Internet, you'll find rumors that range from a hyperextension to a torn biceps tendon. From the looks of how he acted in the moments after suffering the injury, I would bank on it being a hyperextension.
It looks like Clemmenson will be taking Weekes seat on the bench for the next few games and Weekes will take Marty's spot in between the pipes. I have a lot of confidence in Kevin Weekes. There was a time where I hated seeing Weekes in the opposing goal because he ofter made some spectacular saves.
Hopefully, Marty Brodeur isn't out for an extended period of time but hopefully Lou is sitting in his office this morning, realizing that Marty is getting on in years and that franchise goalies like Marty don't grow on trees.
On a side note, congratulations to Nicklas Bergfors on his first NHL point.
