“I congratulate the New Jersey Devils for winning the Stanley Cup and the New Jersey Nets for winning the NBA's Eastern Conference. Winning the Stanley Cup 3 of the last 9 years proves that the Devils are the most dominant team in hockey. I was thrilled to watch them win game 7 with a shutout by the Devils' exceptional goalie, Martin Brodeur, who recorded 7 shutouts during the playoffs alone. Special congratulations are in order for five players who have been with the team for all three championships: Brodeur, Ken Daneyko, Scott Stevens, Sergei Brylin, and Scott Niedermayer. As mentioned by Senator Corzine, general manager Lou Lamoriello has established a culture of success in New Jersey by molding winning teams each year around this core of five.”
