It’s not the worst-case news: That would be a year-ending injury. But losing Marty Brodeur for 3-4 months it’s tough stuff for the Devils. We asked hockey writers Rich Chere and Colin Stephenson to break down the situation:
1. We know Brodeur is “better” than Kevin Weekes. He may be better than every other goalie in the world. Give us your thoughts on Kevin Weekes’ skills? Is he good enough to be a No. 1 goalie?
continued at the Star-Ledger…
added 4:34pm, from Tom Gulitti of Fire & Ice,
“I’m in shock a little bit, but I don’t feel too bad,” the Devils goaltender said this afternoon. “This is something that I didn’t see coming, but I understand the whole process of it. We took our time. We didn’t make a decision on it right away. We made sure we saw a few doctors and we did our homework about the surgery that is going to be done.”

That really sucks for him. To be so close to the records and have it delayed for quite some time really bites. I’ve never liked the Devils but Brodeur has always been a class act and he’ll be missed for a few months. I’m amazed he hasn’t been seriously injured before now.
PS: Also, he’s my goalie in my hockey pool so that really hurts.
