A work ethic that really works


Recommended reading: Dave Caldwell's New York Times piece on New Jersey's Martin Brodeur, now the winningest goalie in NHL history.

The story, written just before Brodeur broke Patrick Roy's record, details the meticulous way Brodeur goes about his business — and the way he continually strives to improve his performance despite his 15 years in the league.

Brodeur told Caldwell he has a hybrid style that is still evolving, with techniques picked up from other goalies.

"Anything I think will be good for my game, I’ll steal from them," Brodeur said. "It's fair game."
