There is a reason why Martin Brodeur is showing no signs of rust. There is also a reason why Scott Clemmensen came out of nowhere and was simply amazing. I will give you guys a chance to try to guess why...


Still scratching your head huh?

Anyway let me tell you a story, a very "true" story. Back in November I had what was supposed to be an interview with the Injury Ninja. You all remember him, he was the little guy who was supposed to go after Flyers players only. Anyway, I am trying to contact him to do an interview to find out why he would go after one of the NHL's best goaltenders of all time, but his response sent shivers up and down my spine. It was the kind of response that completely alters your life. I seriously almost grew a beard and quit my job because of it.

When asked why he would take Martin Brodeur out, he replied with, "Huh? What happened to Brodeur!?". Obviously if the Injury Ninja didn't take Marty out, someone had to be responsible for his injury, right? There had to be reason as to why he was hurt, or was he....



The Ninja and I decided to join forces to get to the bottom of this mess. (Oh yeah this is the reason for my absence the last few months and the reason why I had to give up my staff over on (thenhlarena.com)

It was a long couple of months, and for some reason Clemmensen was looking eerily similar to Brodeur, and that was when the Ninja (By the way the Ninja has a name, it is Broseph Stalin) noticed that he couldn't see inside Clemmensen's mind. So we decided to break into Brodeur's house, and that was when all the pieces began to fit, and by fit, I mean WII Fit.

That is right, we were upstairs watching Brodeur playing WII Fit obviously trying to stay in shape, and no, his arm wasn't hurt at all, shortly after playing WII Fit, he put in NHL09 locked as the goalie who was ironically Clemmensen, with a computer hooked up to the WII. He feverishly typed in a code. We watched him in horror as he shut out the Boston Bruins when Broseph Stalin came down the stairs and surprised Brodeur. What happened next became the shock of my life. The Ninja was in cahoots with Martin all along.

Feeling betrayed I began to cry a little but they were on the chase, and I went from predator to prey, I felt as helpless as the Islanders, but I fought back. I took one of Marty's WII Nunchuks and knocked out the Injury Ninja, the Irony and joy took me over. Then it was all over for Martin, I looked him in the eye, "GAME OVER buddy" I said. That was when he told me everything. My initial suspicion had been correct all along. Brodeur was never hurt and was being rested for the playoffs. A "WII chip" had been surgically planted in Scott Clemmensens head while Brodeur controlled him from the couch on the WII.


It all made sense until I remembered something. "Wait, if you are controlling him, why is it Clemmensen has a bad game/games whenever there is an update on you?", his response was when it all made sense. He had told me it was because he wasn't able to play due to interviews and such.

Well that was that, and that was when Marty and I became friends, and Fatso and I went to McDonalds.

Game Over.
