Good points, BlueFace. But I would argue that having your team rely on the hated (but effective) neutral zone trap so often, well that's gonna play into your stats as a netminder, isn't it. The team as a whole thrives on low scoring games. Not just Brodeur.
Don't get me wrong though. I'm fully aware of his awesomeness.

No it's not going to help your stats really. I hate how people talk about the trap. It's a skill and it takes skill to beat it. If you look at it the trap is easy to beat. If you watched the enitre game you saw that the ducks had loads of chances in the second and third..they just couldn't connect. They swarmed the goal once they got into the zone. The only reason it helps the devils is because they are so damn good at it. The ducks kept trying to skate through instead of dump and chase or using the triangle. ]
I don't mind Giggy getting the Conn Smythe. I think he was great but I agree with BlueFace, I think Broduer should've had it. He's only the 3rd player in history to record a shutout in a game 7. I think if it was a finals award than he would've had it. I hate the devils I always have but I like Broduer. I want Kariya to get a cup but only when he goes to a new team
Also, Friesen killed the ducks and guess what? He was a mighty duck until the trade deadline. I found that rather interesting.
Wonder how this will affect Broduer's home life. Supposedly he's been caught cheating on his wife with his sister in law. Before game 6 she called and said she was banging someone. No wonder he was so shaky.
But he pulled it out in the end.
