I think I was just really comfortable in my goalie equipment, just being in the net and being by myself for 60 minutes and talking to myself sometimes. Martin Brodeur Read Quote
Growing up, I’d never play goalie in street hockey or at shinny. I liked playing out. So the entire time I played goal, I liked handling the puck better than most. Martin Brodeur Read Quote
I’ve tried to incorporate new ways of playing the game. That’s why you hear people call me a ‘hybrid goalie’ and say I adjust to the situation, never doing the same thing over and over like a butterfly goalie. I try to see what works and hopefully with my talent I’m able to play it and make it happen. Martin Brodeur Read Quote
Winning makes coaches, teammates, owners, fans all happy… I didn’t care if we win 7-6 as long as we win. Martin Brodeur Read Quote
Getting into the Hall is such an honor. It’s like the dessert of your career. The Hall is the top of the mountain. Martin Brodeur Read Quote
When I get scored on or something doesn’t go my way, I think of what I’m able to do and I’m reminded that I’m capable of doing it. I’m honest about myself – I know I’m not going to stop everything, so I don’t try for perfection. I’m going to try to get there, but I know I’ll never be perfect. I think that helps me to deal with everything. Martin Brodeur Read Quote
I try to eat a lot of carbs, especially the day of the game, because it fills you up. I have my breakfast and I have a huge lunch before I play. For me it’s always having pasta and chicken to get some protein in me, so I don’t play on an empty stomach at night. The day before a game it’s high protein, mostly, with fish or steak, but nothing crazy. Martin Brodeur Read Quote
When I got the call of being drafted by the Devils, I was in shock more than anything. I didn’t have a clue where New Jersey was, but it was just nice to be taken in the first round and nice to know where my future would be, which organization I was going to be a part of. Martin Brodeur Read Quote
