Brodeur Wins Fourth Vezina
Thursday, June 12, 2008
Toronto, ON -- (Sports Network) - Marty Brodeur of the New Jersey Devils captured the Vezina Trophy as the NHL's top goaltender for the second consecutive season and the fourth time in his storied career.Brodeur, who also won the award in 2003 and 2004, finished with a 44-27-6 in 2007-08 with a 2.17 goals-against average and a .920 save percentage. He posted four shutouts and led all goalies in minutes played (4,635). He was once again the backbone of a hard-working Devils team that finished second in the Atlantic Division. Brodeur, who some argue is the best goaltender to ever play in the NHL, garnered 113 points, while San Jose's Evgeni Nabokov totaled 106 points and Rangers netminder Henrik Lundqvist had 13 points. The Vezina Trophy is voted on by the general managers of the NHL and has been awarded annually since 1927. It is the second-longest continually-awarded individual postseason honor next to the Hart Trophy. In 2006, the only season in the last five that Brodeur did not win this award, he finished second behind Calgary's Miikka Kiprusoff.
