| Mental Toughness |

|
A refreshingly open and candid competitor, Brodeur both understands and embraces his importance to the team. Not many goaltenders can transcend the nature of the position to become a true team leader, but Brodeur has done just that in New Jersey.
|
| Glove Hand |
|---|
|
Brodeur has excellent hands, both in catching the puck and quickly transferring it to the ice where he is at his best in making an outlet pass to a teammate. One of the few goaltenders in the league that will dare the shooter to take the extra net given on the glove side, then take it away with a laser-like left hand.
|
| Stick |
|---|
|
Passing, shooting, poke-checking and aggressively blocking the passing lanes on either side of the net are all in his arsenal. Brodeur's peerless ability and awareness with the puck actually alters opposition forechecking shoot-in strategies -- the highest flattery possible.

|
| Style |
|---|
|
Brodeur is neither a V-style netminder, nor a strict stand-up goaltender. His style is based more on making moves dependent on the situation. He is predisposed to staying up on his skates and challenging aggressively, byproducts of his wandering ways in getting to pucks dumped in on the forecheck.
|
| Intangible |
|---|
|
His frame of mind is to make the most of each day, which goes a long way in explaining his consistently superb standard of netminding.
