Brodeur won his 100th playoff game, Florida won it's first in over a decade, Brodeur gets a record-breaking 24th playoff shutout, what more do you want? From what I know about the series, the first 3 games involved both teams blowing a 3-0 lead. Brodeur then got a shutout in Game 4 to tie the series. Theodore then responses with a shutout of his own, putting Florida up 3-2. Clemmensen then came on in relief in Game 6 and did well, but it wasn't enough as the Devils sent it to Game 7. In Game 7, the Devils pretty much started with a 1 goal lead and built on it. Florida did answer in the third period, forcing overtime...then double overtime. Adam Henrique ended all hope of Panther fans with a shot from the high slot that beat Theodore. Martin Brodeur will now heave his ancient body (in hockey terms) through another playoff series. Also, congrats to Ilya Kovalchuk for finally winning his first playoff series.

Three Thoughts On The Series
- Classiest move of the playoffs: The Panthers pouring a beer for a season ticket holder who passed away.
- Then one of their executives goes out and wrongly blames Devils fans for the discontinuation of selling Rats at Panther games.
- This sparks a twitter war between him and a Devils fan. Winner: Devils fan.
Congratulations to Martin Brodeur for winning his 100th playoff game and getting his record breaking 24th playoff shutout during this series.
Play Of The Series
Have to put something in this spot, so here is Travis Zajac's Game 6 overtime winner. Note how much the Panther D-men respect Kovalchuk, they are both focused on him.
