NEWARK, N.J. -- The New Jersey Devils have dedicated a statue outside Prudential Arena to longtime goaltender Martin Brodeur.The 44-year-old Brodeur was honored prior to the Devils game against the Minnesota Wild on Saturday night in a ceremony attended by a few hundred fans on a damp, drizzly night.Brodeur led the Devils to three Stanley Cups and set NHL records for games played (1,266), wins (691) and shutouts (125). The 10-time All-Star won the Vezina Trophy four times during his 21 seasons with the Devils, and?he was a two-time Olympic gold medalist.The Devils unveiled Brodeurs statue in February, when they retired his No. 30 jersey.I feel really fortunate to be able to sit back and enjoy what Ive done and being so successful, Brodeur said before the ceremony. Theres no regret in what Ive accomplished in my career. When you retire and you dont play the game, you kind of understand that you sometimes take things for granted because the day-to-day life with games and travel, you really dont stop to thank people and enjoy yourself as much as you should.Fans at the dedication chanted Martys better! -- a frequent chorus when Brodeur made a big save, especially against Henrik Lundqvist and the rival New York Rangers.The 11-foot bronze statue of the goaltender has a base that includes Brodeurs records, his autograph and the Devils logo.Brodeur is currently the St. Louis Blues assistant general manager. He briefly played for the Blues in the 2014-15 season before retiring. Cheap Custom Yankees Jersey .

Fred Couples, captain of the U.S. side, put it all into perspective. "We know whos in charge," he said.England shouldnt expect too much of Jos Buttler if he is brought in to replace struggling Ben Duckett for the third Test against India, says Mike Atherton. Ducketts place is under scrutiny after the Northamptonshire batsman struggled once again against Indias slow bowlers to return scores of five and nought in Englands 246-run second Test defeat, at Visakhapatnam.It means the 22-year-old has scored just 105 runs in his five Test innings so far, a tally which includes 56 off 64 balls against Bangladesh on a turning surface in Dhaka last month. Ian Botham believes England need to drop the struggling Ben Duckett But Buttler has not played Test cricket since he was dropped for Jonny Bairstow ahead of the third Test in Sharjah against Pakistan after a run of form that yielded 156 runs in 12 knocks - his overall record in that series reading 34 runs in four knocks - and he is currently short on match practice.The only option England have if they do choose to replace Duckett is Buttler, former England captain Atherton told Sky Sports.It would be difficult to see England go back to Gary Ballance straight away, given that they left him out after the Bangladesh series. Alastair Cook insists Ben Duckett has an England future The advantage of picking Buttler is that hes a right-hander, who have looked more comfortable against Indias off-spinners. The problem with Buttler, though, is very similar to Duckett; when he played Test cricket, he didnt show he had a defensive technique when pitches started to deteriorate and against spin in the UAE - which was when he was leftt out this time last year.ddddddddddddYou are always a better player when you are out of the side but that is a possible option. David Gower has some batting tips for struggling fellow left-hander Ben Duckett England coach Trevor Bayliss claimed in the wake of Englands defeat that no player is working harder in the nets than Duckett, who was bowled in the first innings after showing all three stumps to Ravichandran Ashwin.The left-hander looked to bat further across his stumps in the second dig but fell when he attempted to sweep the spinner, gloving a catch behind to wicketkeeper Wriddhiman Saha.Asked by Sky Sports reporter Ian Ward if the time has now come to take Duckett out of the firing line, England captain Alastair Cook said: It shows how hard international cricket is. There is no hiding place. Paul Farbrace admits that Ben Duckett must improve his batting technique You play and score a lot of runs for your county away from the microscope and then within a couple of dismissals the media and TV are all over it. The whole enormity of the situation can impact the guy.Ben is a very talented cricketer - theres no doubt about it. Well have to make a decision on it, but whatever decision we make Ben is certainly a guy who will be around for England.Our live coverage of the third Test between India and England begins at 3.45am on Sky Sports 2 this Saturday.
