ANAHEIM, Calif. _ It is one of the most feared assignments of a sports reporter _ to talk to a goalie after a bad game.

Often times, they grumble. Sometimes, they yell. Every time, they look at you like you're an idiot.

They are all-knowing, they are all-important, they are gods.

And to question the gods, well, you risk the wrath. . . of Patrick Roy or Ed Belfour or Tom Barrasso. Heck, Chris Osgood can chew you up pretty good if he's in a bad mood.

So it was Saturday night at The Arrowhead Pond that reporters were surprised to find Martin Brodeur laughing. That's right, laughing. He had given up a key goal on a 70-foot dump-in that wasn't even a shot on net. He had given up a key goal when his stick slipped out of his hand. He had given up a key goal when he scrambled like Bambi trying to stop the puck that slid so slowly past him. He had given up a key goal on one of the most embarrassing plays in Stanley Cup Finals history.

And he was laughing.
