from Mike Celizic at NBC Sports,
The Devils have a backup goalie. His name is Kevin Weekes. This year, coach Brent Sutter should use him.
This isn’t a suggestion. It’s a mandate. If the Devils want all-world goalie Martin Brodeur to take them deep into the Stanley Cup playoffs, they can no longer write his name in the line-up every day for weeks and even months at a time.

Marty has said before that he doesn’t like the inconsistency of missing a game here, a game there and so on. What they should do with him is give him like 2 weeks off a month before the season ends, that is if they are in the playoffs. That way he would get rested, and then have time to get back into his rhythm. The downside would obviously be that two weeks of Mr. Weeks might drop them a few spots in the standings. But hey, the point of a season is just to make the playoffs, once your in, does where you start even matter?
