Martin Brodeur will be there forever, not only in the hearts and minds of Devils fans, but at the team’s rink in New Jersey, the statue commemorating The Franchise Goaltender’s career unveiled in front of Prudential Center in Newark on Monday night.
He will be there forever, just as it seemed he would be in the Devils nets forever, and just as it seemed he would lead that team — his team — onto the ice at the Garden from the visitors’ Zamboni entrance at 33rd and Eighth.
