Martin Brodeur Trying To Find The Fountain Of Youth.

After playing his whole career with the New Jersey Devils, it is pretty weird to see Brodeur in another jersey.  On Wednesday December 3, 2014 Brodeur was signed by the St. Louis Blues. After playing most of last year as a backup to Cory Schneider, which is pretty new to Marty seeing as he has been the number one guy for most of his career. Now obviously Brodeur doesn't feel that he wants to retire just yet, but you get the feeling that Brodeur wants to play for a contender. Brodeur loved The Devils and never thought that he would never leave them. Brodeur has set many records and won many awards with New Jersey,  such as most regular season wins: 688, most regular season shutouts:124 and most playoff shutouts:24 and so many more.  Awards include 9x All-Star, 3x Stanley Cup champ and 4x Vezina Trophy winner. There's no doubt Brodeur and the Devils accomplished a lot together, but Brodeur is at an age where he can't wait 3 or 4 seasons for his team to rebuild. I feel that this will be Brodeur's last year playing professional hockey.  Brodeur will get his chance for one more cup this year, but will definitely retire as a New Jersey Devil. Brodeur will be in a Blues jersey this year but his legacy will always be in a Devils Jersey.
