Lost respect? No...I mean he did something wrong and his wife has every reason in the world to divorce his ass and take him to the cleaners...but i mean I don't really respect athletes.

I mean they don't do anything that really deserves my respect, on a personal level. On the ice...Brodeur is unfreakin believable. Best goalie in the world and probably my favorite right now. But as a person I don't know him...so I can't judge him. I don't not respect him on a personal level...I just don't care. LOL

i was responding to miksters comments above that mentioned theo. and when it comes down to it i can compare the two is because both are hockey players who have had personal probems pushed into the spotlight of the media and may or may not have had their game suffer because of it. thats how they can be compared.

and im sorry if i have little simpathy for theo, call me an asshole but its hard to give much simpathy to any celebrity who has the privilage to play a game for a living and make millions upon millions doing it and still manages to flush it down the drain becaue of drug and or alchochol.

Right on the money. I read the biography on Fleury and not many people understand at what point he got the raw end of the deal all throughout his life. Although I would agree that there is two sides to each story and I wouldn't start stoning Brodeur yet I do believe that it might affect his play tonight.

Ok when did this site become the National Enquire ? Brodeur melt down? Hasn’t he played great? All this talk about their is no excuse for affairs ! All I know is that the media never gets these kind of stories right and we really don’t know the reasons why? Maybe Brodeur” s wife wasn’t giving him any? I don’t know and I really don’t care, but it blows my mine that some say there is no excuse for this, unless we know all the facts, and we won’t cause it’s between her and him, we should not make judgement, and please don’t say that the bible says not to commit adultery cause it also says “let he who has not sin cast the 1st stone” … This is hockey not the local hair salon for idol gossip, and that is what it is, cause we don’t know what happened.

Honestly, everyone is right. None of this is our business, but the fact oif the matter is simple. If Brodeur's head isn't in the game, why not replace him for their back up goalie who is? Schwab has shown in the past with the Maple Leafs that he is highly capabla of doing the job, and getting it done well. So, if everyone believes that Brodeur can't do it, then why not give the job to a well-rested, superb goalie instead?

P.S. Go Ottawa Go!

good point – even as a fan, people have to seperate “real life” from a sport. Also, we can’t be selective on irresposible behavior based on whether we like a guy or he is a talent. I think it is a sad example of our morality these days.

in my opinion i think that if he were to meltdown, he would have done it already. this had to be in the back of his mind the whole time anyway, and he must have saw it coming. He has played outstanding, and i hope he pulls through for the devils.

we will have to see how he reacts...there aremany pressures on him now that is not even about his divorce, after all this is still a game 7, its in ottawa, and ottawa has all the momentum in the series.

also...why should anyone care about his personal business? if ur a hockey fan you're still going to watch this game, but not to see how brodeur "melts down", but to see the game 7 that puts a team into the championship to compete for lord stanley's cup
