TODAY’S TRAINING INSPIRATION:
MARTIN BRODEUR

Today’s Colin Timberlake Training Inspiration is a man who has, through twenty years of hard work and competitive drive, completely rewritten the record books for NHL goaltenders.

For Martin Brodeur, the last two seasons have seen the culmination of his career’s work, as he has overtaken the likes of Patrick Roy and Terry Sawchuk to hold virtually every noteworthy career goaltending record that one can contemplate.

This season, Martin Brodeur recorded his 103rd and 104th career shutouts to tie and pass Sawchuk and break a decades-old and sacred record. He has already recorded a few more as he now places distance between himself and the greatest who have come before him.

Brodeur, the owner of several Stanley Cups and Vezina Trophies as the league’s best goaltender, is one of only a couple goalies ever to play 1,000 or more career games, and also to hold 500 or more wins.

In the last couple years, he has broken Patrick Roy’s career records for games and minutes played as well as career victories, and he has now entered the Gretzky-like territory where all the only question that remains is whether he can place such a margin between himself and the second-most prolific of all time that his records will be forever untouchable.
