Marty's Magic vs. Flyers

POSTED: Wednesday, January 23, 2013, 3:31 AM

Martin Brodeur's 120th career regular season shutout Tuesday night was also his 10th against the Flyers, tying them with the Islanders for the most times victimized by the sure Hall of Famer.

Those 10 shutouts are also the most by any goaltender against the Flyers, twice more than any other netminder.

Below are all goalies that have blanked the Flyers three or more times (regular season and playoffs combined):

    Don't despair, such are the fortunes of sports. I remember one of my last years living in Philly all the teams floundered, Phillies won 59 games, 27 by one lefty, Flyers missed the playoffs on a last second Buffalo blue line slap shot past Doug Favelle, Eagles won a couple of games in those white hats, and the Sixers were on their way to a 9 win season. I'm still a fan, miles and years removed. Soon after that cyclic swoon the Flyers dazzled andall the teams were challenging for a title by the end of the decade.

    It's why the call Brodeur "The Legend" as his statistics are mind numbing. It was also his 120th career shutout....120! That's just crazy. The Flyers should throw him a parade down Broad Street when he retires....also when Lou Lamoriello packs it in as well. Forget trying to beat the Devils, time to focus on dropping the Rangers tomorrow night to get into the win column. No better way to turning this around than pounding New York.

About this blog

Boop – who goes by Bob Vetrone Jr. when he is undercover or paying bills – has been at the Daily News since 1982, after working for five years at the Philadelphia Bulletin up to its closing. Along with helping to build the sports scoreboards most nights, he has had great input into the papers’ special sports pullouts – March Madness, Broad Street Run, Record Breakers, Greatest Moments – as well as its day-to-day, award-winning event coverage.

A 1980 graduate of North Catholic, he took some evening college courses. Those lasted right up until the first conflict with a Big 5 doubleheader.

His favorite books growing up were the NBA Guide and the Baseball Encyclopedia, which was, for all intents and purposes, the Internet before there was an Internet.

He has been immersed in sports statistics since the early 70s, when his father (long-time sports writer, broadcaster and the Daily News’ Buck The Bartender), would take him into the Bulletin newsroom overnight in the summer and let him update the Phillies statistics in a little, black spiral notebook. But things have changed tremendously in the decades since … He now uses a big, black spiral notebook. Email him at boopstats@phillynews.com.
