For the first time since John Vanbiesbrouck on the cover of NHL ’97, a Goaltender will grace the cover of an EA Sports NHL game. Martin Brodeur from the New Jersey Devils, and Sergei Bobrovsky of the Columbus Blue Jackets, were voted by the fans, as the final two, with only one being able to be on the cover of NHL ’14.
So, without further adieu, let’s reveal the winner of the cover vote, for NHL ’14!

Only twelve times prior to this evening in the long, illustrious history of the National Hockey League has a goaltender been credited with a goal. Ron Hextall and Martin Brodeur were the only goaltenders with multiple goals through their career, tied at two each. The thirteenth goalie goal in NHL history has broken the tie – Martin Brodeur stands alone as the only goaltender to score three goals in his career. What’s more, the goal this evening was a Power Play Goal.
The Hurricane’s Patrick Dwyer was hooked as he was heading in to the New Jersey zone, and on the delayed call, Carolina goaltender Dan Ellis headed toward the bench in favor of an extra skater. As he was skating off, Jordan Staal attempted to pass the puck to defenseman Tim Gleason, who missed the pass, which then careened off of the boards and into the empty Carolina net. Having been the last Devil to touch the puck, the goal was credited to Brodeur.
No, it’s certainly not often that you see a goalie credited with a goal in a game, but more often than not, it’s number 30 for the New Jersey Devils. Congrats, Marty!

It\’s a four man (and one animal) contract made by the Canucks.

We discuss a ridiculous amount of Goalie-related news, and speculate to what happens during the 2012 NHL Entry Draft and the fate of Rick Nash. Let’s get to it, shall we?
