BBand Agropolychim shut down a day earlier

This season, the guards have increased their scoring output to 62.2, and Missouri's team average is only three points higher.Don't forget, I'm comparing all of last season to the first seven games of 2009, against mediocre to average teams. That means Bowers, Stafford, and even Ramsey need to become legitimate scoring threats, and fast. . SOFIA, Jan 7 (Reuters) - The suspension of Russian naturalgas supplies forced dozens of Bulgarian industrial companies tocut production sharply, the firms said on Wednesday. Stocks Russia Bulgaria's chemical, metals and glass producers are facingserious losses after natural gas deliveries to the Balkancountry were halted early on Tuesday as a result of Moscow-Kievprice dispute. Bulgarian steelmaker Stomana Industry, part of Greek groupSidenor (SID.AT) closed production lines, and battery producerMonbat MONBAT.BB and French-owned auto parts maker Montupet(MNTP.PA), which use gas in their factories, cut output.The country's leading fertilizer producers Neochim NEOH.BBand Agropolychim shut down a day earlier. "Stomana Industry has closed production lines due to thereduced gas supplies. If the supplies halt, we will have toclose down completely," the company spokesman said.

The employers organisation in Bulgaria said losses forbusiness amounted to 500 million levs ($348.2 million) a daybecause of the disruption, hurting further the emerging economywhich has been shrinking due to the global economic slowdown. Economy Minister Petar Dimitrov on Wednesday held anemergency meeting with big industrial consumers to inform themof a schedule of gas rationing. Bulgaria, which relies almost entirely on Russian gas forits needs, is badly affected because it has no access toalternative pipeline routes.($11.436 Leva)(Reporting by Irina Ivanova; Editing by Mike Nesbit) Stocks Russia. As of Monday night, Martin Brodeur tied Terry Sawchuck for the most shutouts of all time.

There really weren't a lot of quality shots that he had to block. The defense did a great job keeping the puck away from him and limiting the scoring chances for Buffalo.There isn't anyone that will say that he doesn't deserve this record. He's been working hard for his entire career and I know how much the Devils Fans appreciate it.It's obvious that he's one of the best goalies in the world, and of all time. He needed some great defense over the years to help him get this record.This season, the Devils have relied on him heavily, just like they have in previous seasons. They are running a very defensive system that limits the scoring chances, and gives Brodeur the best chance to stop the puck. They are only attacking when they see the defense has made a mistake.There aren't many teams in the NHL that can make this work. That's because there are not many goalies that you can rely on as much as Brodeur.He pretty much sums up my belief of what a solid goalie can do for an organization. You also give that goalie the best chance to break some records.If there's anything that you have to know about this record, it's that Brodeur didn't do it by himself.
