THREE reasons why I love him:
1. He's the best goalie that I've seen in a very long time. Definitely a future Hall-of-Famer
2. Has played on the same team for 19 years (yes, that may seem long, but let's not forget that he's won three Stanley Cups with the Devils)
3. He has a rule named after him: The Brodeur Rule (a rule that prevents goalies from playing the puck behind the goal line unless it's within trapezoid-shaped zone behind the net)
