Marty and Richie
For the most part, since four minutes left in the first period, Torts has split up Vinny and Marty. They shared the ice together for an occasional shift in the second, but Marty has been paired with Brad Richardso for the most part. And just now, literally as I'm typing this, Marty just fed Brad for a tie-breaking goal. To get Brodeur, you've got to use the back of the net, which is what Marty did on that play. From this angle, it didn't look like Brodeur ever really had a good look. And now those thunderstic are rocking.
