Okay. Here is the deal. In the next Olympics, I want Cujo in nets for 
Canada because he has proven that he is, by far, a better goaltender 
than Brodeur. The Devils were in double digits in shots EVERY PERIOD 
OF REGULATION. The Leafs were in single digits in shots EVERY PERIOD 
OF REGULATION. We outshot them 45-28 overall.

/me finds his piece of papier... ah, there it is...

Game 1:

  Cujo:         Save Percentage of 100%
  Brodeur       Save Percentage of 88.2%

Maybe that was just a bad game for Brodeur. Let's give him the 
benefit of the doubt.


Game 2:

  Cujo:        Save Percentage of 81.8%
     *ouch* BRUTAL! Even a pylon could beat that. Does Martin?
  Brodeur:     Save Percentage of 76.2%

GAH?!?!

Game 3:

  Cujo:       Save Percentage of 93.3%
  Brodeur:    Save Percentage of 92.9%


   ------
Brodeur has been outplayed all 3 games. I'm not advocating switching 
goalies as I don't think Beezer would fare much better. I'm just 
saying that Curtis Joseph is better. And we're just lucky that we can 
outshoot this team 45-28. If Joseph had a team in front of him that 
could outshoot the opposition, it would be a scary day indeed.
