@@RIUUI007 Total shots against is also a flawed stat. Otherwise Erik Karlsson would be considered great defensively (low quantity, high quality in his career)
He averaged 25 shots against a game. And saying he benefitted from the trap in front of him is stupid. The Devils win 0 cups without him in net. That's how good he was.
Incredibly misleading, clickbait title. While he does say those words, if you do read the article he also mentions and is acknowledgement and acceptance of the game being different than when he played and the need to go with 2 goalie system. Title makes it seem like he’s stuck in the past, which he is not and Pierre mentions as well.
All goaltenders are the same now, with roughly the same amount of skill. You can be a Vezina winner/finalist now, and then a backup a year later. Not like 25 years ago, when the top goaltenders gave you an actual advantage. Hasek, Roy, Brodeur, Belfour, etc. They all gave you a big advantage if you had one of them. Now, you can win with a $1 million goaltender as long as you play good team defense, since there isn't really much separation between any goaltender.
Brodeur played in the dead puck trap era when goalies didn't face nearly as much rubber. Obstruction away from the puck negated a ton of offense. Things sway back and forth in sports. Several years ago scoring was down and goalies were more dominant now the forwards are faster and better shooters plus composite sticks makes the shots faster and harder. Expansion has also diluted to goalie talent pool especially in Canada.

Think north america should be worried about there are less and less good goalies from canada or the us... most good goalies are from europe.. russia, finland, sweden, where are canadas big goalies??
Wow, and this means what in regards to what this video is about? I didn't hear Pierre or Geno discussing Sean Avery. The discussion is about the state of goaltending. Brodeur was a goalie, was he not? Pierre wrote an article on this.
Big talk from a former goalie tht got carried by the Neutral Zone Trap. Talking about being babied, only having to face 10 shots a night. Brodeur one of the biggest cry baby’s the NHL has ever seen!!!!!
