If you are going to attempt to argue that the Devils were anywhere near as good without Brodeur i must seriously question your hockey knowledge.
The majority of Stanley cups have been won by dominant goalers. A average goaler winning the stanley cup is an exception, not a rule- and in almost all cases said average goalers get RED hot during their playoff runs.
But alas, i really don't care to argue the point much for hockey is really just a 2nd tier sport in this country.
