Terry Sawchuck played from 1949-1970. He played on the Detroit Red Wings, the Toronto Maple Leafs, the Boston Bruins, the Los Angeles Kings, and the New York Rangers. He played 971 career games posting a 447-330-172 record with a 2.52 GAA. In 1971, Terry Sawchuck was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame: one year before Martin Brodeur was born!
On December 7th, Martin Brodeur stops 22 shots to blank the Sabres and lift the Devils to a 3-0 victory, and giving Brodeur his 103rd shutout ! There is no doubt in my mind that Brodeur will be inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame, I also believe he will be representing the Team Canada hockey team in Vancouver.
Brodeur was drafted by the New Jersey Devils 20th overall in 1990. Here's the kicker, remember Trevor Kidd? well he was drafted 11th overall in that same draft by the Calgary Flames (Felix Potvin went 31st overall that year). Calgary traded up from 20th, to the Devils for their 11th pick, to pick Trevor Kidd! Trevor Kidd currently plays with the Hannover Scorpions in Germany.
Well, I'm going to end this with a BIG congratulations Marty! You're just 1 shutout away from the NHL record! Represent us well in Vancouver too!
