"The pressure of playing a defensive game puts the spotlight on me, but I don't think about it. I just have to play my game. (ESPN Hockey 96, p. 51)

"As good as Patrick Roy has been through his NHL career, the Devils feel they have their own megastar in Brodeur. Roy has won three Stanley Cup championships; the Devils believe Brodeur will at least match that before his career is over." (The Sporting News Hockey Yearbook 1996-97, p. 62)

"One of the top three goaltenders in the league, along with Sabres' Dominik Hasek and the Avalanche's Patrick Roy. New Jersey's defense-first approach helps his numbers." (The Sports Forecaster Hockey '97-'98, p.118)

"Super-goalie Martin Brodeur went on to break a couple of impressive records and the Devils allowed less goals than any NHL team. (The Sports Forecaster Hockey '97-'98, p. 114)

"Brodeur rates among the game's best and, at 25, figures to keep improving. He led the NHL in goals-against average (1.88) and shutouts (10) and was second in save percentage (92.7) last season. (The Hockey News 1997-98 Yearbook, p. 129)

"The Vezina nominee is coming off a career year statistically. Brodeur is the first goalie since Bernie Parent to lead the NHL with a GAA under 2.00; his 1.88 GAA was the best posted by any netminder since 1971-72. Ken Dryden was the last one to post 10 or more shutouts in a season." (The Sports Forecaster Hockey '97-'98, p. 118)

"His ability to handle puck and make big saves forces teams to alter their style. (Pierre Maguire, Sports Illustrated, February 23, 1998)

"He just stands in there really well and doesn't give you much to shoot at. He's real solid in the crease and doesn't usually make the spectacular saves because he doesn't really have to. (Rod Brind'Amour, ESPN Sportszone, April 1998)

"An above-average goalkeeper, yet has had difficulty leading the Devils past the first round of the playoffs the past two seasons. Backstopped the Devils to the 1995 Stanley Cup championship, but has won just one round of playoffs since. An ordinary .906 save percentage behind a strong defensive team. A butterfly goalie who has to pick up his post-season play. Not stunning in the regular campaign last season, either. He is the No. 1 goalie on a team that makes few defensive mistakes in front of him. Somewhat overrated, he'll continue to post good regular-season numbers. (The Sports Forecaster 1999-2000, p. 100)

"One of the things that Brodeur provides is outstanding play outside the net. He is one of the best puckhandling goalies in the NHL...He's almost like having a third defensemen on the ice. It alters the style of the opposing team. That's really a big extra that he gives the Devils. He is a presence in the entire defensive zone, not just the net. He can be very frustrating for a team that thrives on forechecking and getting the puck down low and cycling. He can essentially take them out of their game by catching their forecheck before it even gets started. (Brian Engblom, ESPN.com, 2/2/2000)

"After three straight disappointing playoff performances, the Montreal native regained the form he had in 1995 and put on a goaltending clinic in last year's Stanley Cup playoffs. Brodeur would have won the Conn Smythe Trophy had it not been for Scott Stevens' great defensive work. Now that he's shown that he can go through the rigors of playinf 85 per cent of the regular season and still be sharp at playoff time, no one can deny Brodeur's place among the league's elite netminders. Brodeur [will go] after the one trophy he does not have, the Vezina. (The Sports Forecaster 2000-01, p. 89)

"All that stood between the New Jersey Devil stopper and unrequited respect was a clutch playoff performance, which is exactly what he delivered en route to his second Stanley Cup victory. (The Hockey News 2000-01 Yearbook, p. 12)

"Is heading towards the Hall of Fame, after his second Stanley Cup triumph. Has a shot at breaking several career records when all is said and done. (The Sports Forecaster Online 2000-01)

"The Devils' No. 1 man in goal never tires of being between the pipes. Brodeur played in 85 percent of his team's games for the second year in a row and once again guided his team to the Stanley Cup finals. Consistency and endurance have been hallmarks of Brodeur's stellar career. He has averaged 41 wins and a 2.28 goals-against average since 1998-99. His numbers never seem to waver from year to year, which is a reflection of his talent and the defense corps that has supported him since he arrived in the league. Arguably the best puckhandling goalie ever. Brodeur should start at least 70 games again. Will his consistent play finally land a nomination for the Vezina Trophy? (The Sports Forecaster 2001-02, p. 91)

"Brodeur is incredibly durable. He has appeared in 70-plus games for New Jersey in six of the last seven seasons. His workload was further extended last season with a gold-medal performance at the Winter Olympics. He had somewhat of an off-year in the NHL, althugh he did finish second to Dominik Hasek in wins. Brodeur gives the Devils a chance to win every night because he doesn't give up a lot of soft goals. He's also the best puckhandling goalkeeper of his generation if not the best ever. Barring injury, the Devils will lean heavily on Brodeur again this season. Sooner or later, his workload will become an issue." (The Sports Forecaster 2002-03, p. 89)

"Brodeur is arguably the top goaltender in the world right now. Fresh off a World Cup win in 2004, and another strong performance at the 2005 IIHF World hockey championships. Also, he's still among the best puck-handling goaltenders in the game, though the NHL's new rule changes may somewhat alter that effectiveness. (The Sports Forecaster 2005-06, p. 99)

"Martin Brodeur (31-21-4, 2.41, .908) proved during the playoffs that he can still get the job done at 40. He might not be as dominant as he once was, but his calmness seems to boost his team's confidence." (Kevin Allen, USA Today Sports Weekly, January 16, 2013, p. 25)

• Brodeur's #30 was retired by the New Jersey Devils organization in a Prudential Center ceremony prior to the Oilers-Devils game on February 9, 2016.

• Martin's NHL debut was a 24-save, 4-2 victory for the Devils over the Boston Bruins.

• Recorded 200th National Hockey League victory, vs. Buffalo, April 14, 1999.
• Martin became the youngest National Hockey League goaltender to record his 300th regular-season victory on December 15, 2001, and he had to really earn it. Brodeur stopped thirty-nine Ottawa Senators shots in a 2-0 victory at the Corel Centre.
• Martin became the youngest goaltender to win 400 regular-season National Hockey League games on March 23, 2004, at the Office Depot Center in Miami, Florida, as the New Jersey Devils defeated the hometown Florida Panthers. Brodeur stopped twenty-one shots, but had to work overtime to get the win - Scott Niedermayer finally ended things with a goal against Roberto Luongo. ""I take a lot of pride in winning hockey games," Brodeur said. "Stats are good, but wins really show the success you have. When I look at my years, I always look at wins." "The scary thing about Martin is that there is a lot more left," Devils coach Pat Burns said. "He loves the game and he works hard at it and he's only 31 years old. The big thing is there is a lot more to come for Marty Brodeur." Brodeur also became the first goaltender to win 400 playing every game for the same team. "Not to take anything away from the other guys, but it's tough for an organization to have success for so long," Brodeur said. "It definitely makes it special. It says a lot about the success of the organization."
• On November 17, 2007, Martin became just the second goaltender in National Hockey League history to record his 500th regular-season victory. At the Wachovia Center in Philadelphia, and against the longtime divisional rival Flyers, Brodeur stopped twenty-six shots in a 6-2 New Jersey win. "You play to be successful, and I've been fortunate to play on good teams," said Brodeur, the youngest to reach the milestone. Said opposing goaltender Martin Biron: "It's just great for him to be able to achieve that milestone, and I hope one day I can be able to get up in wins and be able to be at the level that he's been for so many years."

• On May 19, 2001, Martin became the twelfth goaltender in National Hockey League history to record four shutouts in one postseason, in a 5-0 blanking (21 saves) of the Pittsburgh Penguins (at the Civic Center in Pittsburgh). It was also his second consecutive shutout, the second time in the 2001 postseason that Brodeur had back-to-back blankings. The Devils would eventually fall, in the Stanley Cup Finals, to the Colorado Avalanche.
• On March 30, 2003, Martin became the first National Hockey League goaltender to record four seasons with forty (or more) victories, as he and his Devils blanked the New York Islanders by a 6-0 count. It was Brodeur's ninth shutout of the season.
• On May 15, 2003, Martin recorded his fourth shutout of the postseason with a 1-0 whitewashing of the Ottawa Senators. He also became the second goaltender to perform this feat twice in one career (also doing it in 2001). On May 27 and May 29 of the same year, Martin shut out the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim, and in the process tied Dominik Hasek's NHL record of six shutouts in one postseason.
• Martin record his 551st regular-season National Hockey League victory on Saturday, March 14, 2009. In his hometown of Montreal, Brodeur stopped twenty-two shots as he tied Patrick Roy atop the league's all-time leader board. The Montreal crowd gave him a standing ovation when the final siren went off and another when he was announced as the game's first star. He raised his stick in tribute. "It's great. I think my relationship with the fans in Montreal always has been pretty good throughout the years even though I play on the other side," he said. "Today I think they recognized what I did. And I think for me, I grew up in Montreal, getting a standing ovation in Montreal was pretty cool."
• Three nights later, on St. Patrick's Day at the Prudential Center in Newark, Brodeur passed Roy with his 552nd regular-season National Hockey League victory. Facing the Chicago Blackhawks, Brodeur stopped thirty shots in a 3-2 win. "It was an exciting night," Brodeur said after making 30 saves in the Devils' 3-2 win over the Blackhawks on Tuesday night. "I'm happy that it's done and over with. It's been chaotic, the last few days. It was an awesome night. It was a great reception from the fans." When the game ended, Brodeur took out a pair of scissors and cut the net. "It's definitely harder than I thought," Brodeur quipped. "These basketball players, it's only a little net. This was a big net. I had help from a couple of my teammates."

• Suffered pinched nerve in elbow and slight concussion, March 9, 1990.
• Strained knee, Feburary 24, 1994.
• Suffered from the flu; missed two games, October 30, 1997.
• Bruised left hand; missed one game, September 8, 2004.
• Left game with injury to right knee; missed six games, October 26, 2005. Late in the third period, Brodeur caught his right leg on the post and fell to the ice. "I was concerned enough to leave the game," Brodeur said. "The doctor looked at it after the game and he thought it didn't look too bad, but we'll see what happens. My skate got caught and I twisted it. I heard it twist and I couldn't get up. All my body weight fell on it. I had to be really hurt to leave the game - we were still in the game at that point."
• Left game with bruised left elbow, November 1, 2008. With 13:22 remaining in the second period, Brodeur went into a split to make a sprawling glove save, got up slowly clutching his left arm, and skated off the ice with the Devils leading Atlanta, 3-0.
• Left game with injured right elbow, November 3, 2010. Brodeur was hit by a shot from Chicago's Patrick Kane and did not return.
• Left game with recurrence of right elbow injury. November 18, 2010.
• Left game with right knee injury, February 6, 2011.
• Left game with upper body soreness, October 13, 2011. Brodeur faced a shot from the right point by Los Angeles defenseman Alec Martinez at 12:03 of the first, and remained in the game for the rest of the first period. "I kind of tweaked my shoulder when I dove down for that shot and I lost strength in it, so didn't feel comfortable continuing," Brodeur said. "I tried to stay in but during the breaks, it started to swell a bit in the shoulder. I should be fine for Saturday (against Nashville). I just need a couple of days to rest and get swelling down. It's OK...I've tweaked it before but this was a little tougher."
• Left warmups with soreness, did not play, February 24, 2013. After the game, Brodeur said that he had been having back pains for the past few days. "I thought I would be able to play, but I just didn't feel right," said Brodeur.

• Martin drinks three-quarters of a can of Sprite after pre-game warmups, then a Sprite during each intermission. He drinks Sprite because "Gatorade hurts my stomach, and water just doesn't give me enough of a lift," according to his 2006 book, "Brodeur: Beyond the Crease".
• Martin is the son of Denis Brodeur, goaltender with bronze medal-winning Canadian Olympic Team, 1956.
• On April 17, 1997, Martin became just the second National Hockey League goaltender (after Ron Hextall) to score a goal in the postseason, when his clearing shot into an empty Montreal net secured a 5-2 New Jersey victory.
• Also according to his book, Brodeur has never forgiven Patrick Roy for demanding that he play every game during the 1998 Nagano Olympics.
• On January 12, 2010, Martin engaged in an epic battle against the New York Rangers and goaltender Henrik Lundqvist. Through the end of overtime, Brodeur had stopped all 51 shots he had faced, while Lundqvist had stopped all 45 shots that had come his way. Brodeur would win the shootout, stopping all four New York shooters, and Patrik Elias finally ended things by putting the puck past Lundqvist.
• On March 21, 2013, Martin became the NHL's all-time leading goalscorer among goaltenders, earning his second regular season goal (to go with his one postseason goal). With Carolina goaltender Dan Ellis on the bench for an extra attacker on a delayed penalty to Marek Zidicky, Brodeur knocked Patrick Dwyer's shot to the corner, where Carolina's Jordan Staal recoverd the puck. Staal's pass to Tim Gleason instead went off of the boards and all the way down to the vacant Carolina net.
• Martin's son, Anthony Brodeur is also a goaltender, and was selected in the seventh round of the 2013 National Hockey League entry draft by Martin's longtime team, the New Jersey Devils. With the draft being held in Newark, Martin was the one who announced the selection for the Devils.
