Fans use social media to praise Brodeur

Hockey fans across the world would love to offer Martin Brodeur congratulations on his record-setting 104th shutout, but it’s not like they have his phone number or e-mail address.

Thanks to Twitter, they can let their voices be heard right here on NHL.com. The following are some of the best messages fans on Twitter had to offer following the New Jersey Devils' 4-0 victory against the Pittsburgh Penguins on Monday night. Starting us off is Newark Mayor Cory Booker:

@CoryBooker Tremendous! Congrats Brodeur! Go Devils!
