08:17 AM ET 02.20 | We're now inside a year before the Olympic Games in Sochi, and while it has yet to be decided whether NHL players will participate, that possibility is on Martin Brodeur's mind. [Brodeur] is one of only a handful of players who has participated in all four Olympic Games with NHLers. Now the legendary goaltender is considering the possibility of suiting up for Team Canada for a fifth time at the 2014 Sochi Games. "Now, we're getting closer and I'm still playing. I didn't even know if I would be playing in 2014 and I will be playing next year. So if they feel like I'm still capable of helping them out in any way, for me it's a great honour to be a part of Team Canada," said Brodeur.

No room Marty.

I am an American, so I couldn't care less who they put in the net. However, they should just consider the best man for the job. Could be Marty one last go?

I hope the Russians make room for Rascal scooter parking.

You mean ... like a brother we didn't know about playing goalie in the KHL? Alex Brodeurovich? ;-)

Maybe he's checking out a Russian mail order bride?

And i want a 2 person hot tub party with Mila Kunis Marty ......it still ain't gonna happen.

Not that I GAF but he should have been #1 last time out but for appeasing the hometown Chets.

As he's proved in last year's playoffs, the man can still bring it. I'd trust him over Lulonga any time, anywhere.

February 20, 2013  10:39 AM ET

They weren't going to win or lose that tournament because of goaltending.

And they certainly didn't win because of it in the end.

And boy did BM whup Arsenal yesterday!!

Not gonna sit here and disagree that goaltending wasn't the exclamation point in either tourney. But Brodeur never really did shine for Canada for some reason. Maybe it's a spotlight thing - not like he's under some microscope in Jersey. Heck, 5 Cup appearances and he still probably was never able to bump Jeter & Co. off the front pages of the sports sections in June.

And man how bad is Arsenal. Wenger's the Lindy Ruff of soccer. I'm just relieved my Porto managed to score one after dominating the entire match but wasting every opportunity. And Barca-AC today.
