New Jersey Devils Goalie Martin Brodeur Wins the NHL 14 Cover Vote

[UwantRadie]

Good for Marty... I'm a die hard Rangers fan who has probably had years shaved off my life by the way he played against us his whole career... But I'm smart enough to know that I was fortunate enough to witness the entire career of the 2nd best Goalie in history (behind Roy*)....

Still can't wait until I can wish him a happy retirement though.


*Marty has better numbers, but if you put the defensive system that he benefitted from in front of Roy, then it's no contest.

Coming from a division rival fan, I'm happy to see Marty grace the cover. He's been in the league for what seems forever and the NHL should be happy to have a good sportsman like him on the cover.

I've known since E3. Why wait that long to announce it? When these posters are already made and hanging in the EA Sports booth, i thought they already decided.

As opposed to putting a potential back up on your cover lol That trade for Schneider is excellent news for EA [/sarcasm]

In all seriousness, I like it, I like Brodeur, he's been an excellent servant to the Devils and the NHL, but he might not be between the pipes as much as he'd like to be next season. Regardless, it's a nice send off.

And he didn't even bolt. Love that Marty got the cover. Bobrovsky will be around a while longer, not so with Brodeur who will likely retire in a year or so. He's a HOF goalie who has won the Cup a couple times and even gave the unlikely Devils a shot to win another when nobody thought they would get that far. Bobrovsky has to proove this last year wasn't just a fluke and that he can remain a number one goalie.
