Goaltender Martin Brodeur stands between the faceoff circles before his New Jersey Devils’ Feb. 19 Bell Centre game against the Canadiens, Gary Carter’s image projected onto the rink. Brodeur has signed a print of this photo for auction, proceeds going to the Gary Carter Foundation.
© Allen McInnis, Gazette
On Feb. 19, the Canadiens paid a pre-game tribute to the late Gary Carter, the hugely popular, Hall of Fame-bound former catcher of the Expos. The New Jersey Devils were at the Bell Centre that evening, and Gazette photographer Allen McInnis took a stirring portrait shown here of Devils goaltender Martin Brodeur, whose family was friendly with Carter through the catcher’s relationship with Denis Brodeur, Martin’s father and one-time Expos photographer.
Martin Brodeur has signed eight 8×10-inch prints of McInnis’s photo, symbolic of Carter’s uniform number. He will never again sign the image.
One of the prints is up for online auction now, 100 per cent of proceeds going to the Gary Carter Foundation. Go to Facebook.com, type martinbrodeur30.com in the search function and proceed to the auction. Warning: it won’t go for just a few dollars.
A second print will be sold at Brodeur’s annual charity golf tournament this summer. The remainder will stay with the Brodeur family.

Where is the Forsberg kid. There has been some mention of him. Just wondering.
I found it , but instead of just putting the link, I put the whole NHL draft rated list. Sorry for that.
I’ve been trying hard to find that info too, Ian. Whenever I try to google the upcoming draft prospects I get a bunch of different links and the rankings seem to vary greatly from source-to-source. A lot of them are quite dated too.

Cheers Ian
AWESOME, Boomer! Many thanks for posting this!
Just looked at the ISS rankings and I’m puzzled on why they seem to have many of the positions some of the players play wrong. For example, they have Grigs and Galch as RW’s when they are C’s, and Faksa as a LW when he is also a C. There’s others too.
Surprised Guance is ranked so high (7th) all of a sudden too.
With Frk ranked at 32 on this list, it would be nice if we could grab him with our first 2nd round pick.

no problem mike,
I noticed the positions aswell, it’s a bit strange.
And i was thinking the exact same thing about frk lol
I think Galchenyuk is gonna climb the rankings once he’s back from injury.
And one more (will be updated next week)

Not sure if anyone else saw this, but Cole was fined $2500 for a slew-foot during the Edmonton game. I didn’t see that particular play but here’s a link to TSN’s very brief story:

Mike . I did not see the penalty. But that is 2.5 grand not 25 grand, Right??
Yessir, $2,500.00
I believe that’s the maximum fine allowed by he current CBA…..which is strange considering the league minimum salary is $500K and even a guy making the minimum would scoff at a measily 2.5K

Ahh… just had a glance at the other thread.
Ugly, ugly, ugly.
It’s much nicer over here.
Peaceful, kinda.
Discussion of the Montreal hockey team, attended by significantly fewer ding-dongs filling up the page with inanities.
I’ve been saaaaved!!
—Hope Springs Eternal—
Oh don’t worry, the ding-dongs will be migrating here shortly when they realize all the sane posters have stopped reacting to their drivel.
Habs evidently are hot on Beauregard Boris Levishefsky of the Chech Elite League. He can skate, he can shoot, he can fight and at least on the ice he can score. The fact that he is the ugliest hockey player since Gary Doak means the management of the club won’t have to worry about him getting into any off-ice trouble.
Rangers Ed Johnstone was one unique looking fellow……
ummm….. Mike Ricci anyone?
- Honestly yours
Twitter: @de_benny
andrei kostitsyn?
;p
Never heard of him Albatros, and when i googled his name no results came up. Are you sure you have the correct spelling? or maybe you could provide a link?
Cheers
Maybe Beauregard Boris Zlochevsky?
Are u kidding.. women in MTL go for ugly guys.. I should know he he he he!
Gary Carter, the Expos, the Canadiens, the CFL and the Alouettes (sorry, Eskimos fan), Montreal sports heroes, the city, the vibrant culture movingly affect so many of us from near and far.
“May you live in interesting times.”
cfl just plain mickey mouse.
OK!
Enough squabbling, prognosticating, petty bickering etc etc.
I have a mission for everyone. This would save PG’s job. Refurbish Gainey’s reputation. Restore Habs glory!
Go out and scour the hockey world for the following player as described by UN CANADIEN ERRANT. What a player eh?
“Let’s call him a shorter Hal Gill but with the skating stride of a Phil Housley and the offensive vision of a Paul Coffey, augmented with the orneriness of Scott Stevens.”
WOW! Can you say Stanley boys and girls?
Me! I’ll stay and try to convince PG to include Kaberle in a trade for the above. PG sees something in Kaberle!
Off you go now!
But no mention of his native tongue!
This will never do!

The cerebral insight of PJ Stock:
“Le problem est Markov n’a pas jouer un seul game cette annee”
“Louis Leblanc est un kid locale”
MAB?
MAB is the Zelig of our times!
***Subbang Baby!!!***
Shea Weber is the guy that fits the bill (except more offensive than Coffey) He will be a FA soon. He would turn this team around in a hurry. BUt Goat and Bob will drop the ball.
Shea Weber wouldn’t work for the Habs.
He’s too used to being the veteran Captain of his team.
Come and drop him in amongst Cole, Markov, Gionta, Gorges… there’d be too many chiefs and not enough Indians.
Weber would fit really well in Edmonton. A bunch of youngsters to rally and lead. That’s where he’d be most effective.
PG would be wise to pass up on that big contract.
I’ve been saaaaved!!
—Hope Springs Eternal—
Matty, I am more than willing to take that risk, Weber is pure stud material.
More offensive than Coffey?
Full Breezer 4 Life
Dion Phaneuf! Umm… just kidding.
