In the wake of Martin Brodeur breaking Patrick Roy's all-time wins record with 552 (purposely not covered by this blog), Dan Rosen at NHL.com looks at which current NHL goaltender has a chance of catching Brodeur and says its not likely to be Henrik Lundqvist.According to Rosen, the 27-year-old Lundqvist (136 career wins) would need to average 35 wins over the next 13 seasons just to top Roy's mark of 551.
...Lundqvist would probably need to average at least 45 wins per year to give Brodeur's record (whatever that may be when he finally retires) a run. Not sure if he'll be around when he's 40. What hurt Lundqvist is not starting his NHL career until the age of 24. For a goaltender to break Brodeur's record they'd have to begin playing around the age of 20.

Thats cause he sucks
*Asterisk alert. I think somebody at PuckDaddy linked to a site that calculated Marty's wins without the shootout and turns out Marty needs something like thirty or so more wins to beat Roy's pre-shootout record.
what hurt Lundy is that he isn't Brodeur. No one is, and the record will remain intact for a long, long time.
