Doc Emrick’s Top 5 Calls For New Jersey Devils Hockey

#4 Martin Brodeur’s Goal vs The Canadiens: Game 1 of the 1997 ECQF

It is very rare to see a goalie score a goal. During the final seconds of Game 1 of the 1997 Stanley Cup Eastern Conference Quarter Finals, Martin Brodeur decided to seal himself when he got the puck from behind the net and sent it flying all the was across the ice into the back of the opposing team’s net. This goal was scored against the Montreal Canadiens, the team that Marty was huge fan of growing up. This was an exciting moment for Marty, the team and the fans.

Doc’s call on this goal was fantastic. What makes this call be at number four of my favorite because of the perfect build up of excitement from when he got the puck to when it ended up in the back of the net. In addition, nobody including Doc did not expect a goalie to score. But Marty did it, IN THE PLAYOFFS!!! All of this made this call by Doc a thing to remember.
