Should Martin Brodeur retire now. (17)
Brianebartlett: Should Brodeur quit now, not tarnish his reputation as a great goalie, then to play somewhere else, probably as a backup goalie, with diminished skills.

I think it's time for him to retire. He's one of the greatest goalies of all time and he should retire on top. He probably should have retired last year but he loves the game too much. I don't want him to but it's time. I wouldn't like to see him play on another team esp as a back up. He has played for the Devils his whole career which is rare nowadays and should retire as a Devil. Obviously he will have his number raised to the rafters and it won't be long before he's in the Hockey Hall of Fame.

I suppose it will be up to him. I can say though that sometimes it' s good to end on a high note.------ This poll is Archived ------

Well, it seems he is only known in Canada. I know about Hokey as much as Canadians know about soccer.

Hi Louise, guess you don't understand hockey, Brodeur is supposed to be the greatest NHL goalie in hockey, he's played over 20 years now, is 42 yrs. old, wants to keep playing, but now he's lost his great skills, slipped into backup status. He still thinks he can play, as a number one goalie somewhere. His own team doesn't need him, or want him anymore, he's looking for a trade to another team, with a regular goalie contract...no one will give him that now, he'll have to settle for backup goalie salary, plus he wants to play most of his team's games...no way, he'll be lucky to get 30...probably 25...or maybe less, depending on his play.My question is...shouldn't he just retire now, as the best goalie in hockey, than dilute his reputation, by playing as a backup, with reduced skills, for less money, less game time at age 42...he's only going to play one more year anyway.
My answer is NO...retire now.

I agree with you 100%...my sentiments exactly, why tear down in one year what you built up so hard to accomplish in 20 years or so.
How many goalies still play well at 42 years old.

He can still play, he's just starting to slow down.
Someone who should have given up sooner was Dominik Hasek. He kept toying with retirement and then once he did he came back.
After 'retiring' again he went on to play in the Czech Republic and then in 2012-13 he wanted to come back to the NHL again but didn't cause of the lock out so announced his retirement again. Don't think Marti would do that!Mario Lemiux though I understand as he had a bad back and cancer but then later realized he could still play. That was an awesome day when he came back!

Hey Brian.
You're right, I know less than nothing about hockey, thanks for the explanation

He's well known in Canada and to US hockey fans. A lot of Europeans know him too because of the Olympics and if any follow the New Jersey Devils since there are Europeans on the team.
Ah, we know about soccer but we're more crazy for hockey. Soccer is growing here though. Women's soccer is doing quite well. Canada is one of the top teams. We are hosting the FIFA Women's World Cup in 2015. And I heard the other day we are going to bid for the 2026 men's cup which would be cool. Hopefully by then we'll have a better team.
I think we don't have a strong team because most guys play hockey and some of the good soccer players play for other teams internationally which is funny cause guys abroad play here as well.------ This poll is Archived ------

Music, thanks for the explanation. Now I learned who he is. In Spanish there's a saying that says 'es mejor retirarse a tiempo'(it's better to retire on time). But that depends on him. It is a very personal decision. Some choose to follow on activity because they do not find another thing that fill their lives; others simply for money.

In his case I don't think it's for money. He just isn't sure when to stop!
You're welcome! Sorry about Argentina!
