this is what was said at the end of game 1: |
"It wouldn’t be a Devils-Rangers playoff series without a silly controversy
Through a team spokesperson, Devils goaltender Martin Brodeur clarified today his comments following Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals about the Rangers’ shot-blocking tactics.
Here is Brodeur’s full quote from Monday night:
“We’re playing a different team defensively than maybe the Flyers,” Brodeur said. “I think they’re a lot more in our shooting lanes for our (defensemen), so we’ve just got to find ways to try to expose them a little more. We’ve done it in the regular season. We’ve got to try to get it done. Right now, they’re hot. They’re blocking pucks. Hopefully we’ll be able to hurt a few guys hitting one-timers off their foot and their head or something. Right now, they’re paying the price to win and that’s what playoff hockey is all about.”
A Devils spokesperson said that Brodeur said this morning it was, “just an off the cuff comment.”
“That was not the intent of his comments at all,” the spokesperson said.
Of all the media sources covering the series – from New Jersey, New York, U.S. national media, Canadian media – only one interpreted Brodeur’s comment as him wanting his teammates to shoot at the Rangers’ shot blockers’ heads.
“There is no way Marty would ever think like that,” Devils general manager Lou Lamoriello said.
Brodeur sat at a podium Tuesday and answered all questions. No one asked about that quote. The publication that portrayed Brodeur’s quote as a head-hunting plan had two reporters at Brodeur’s news conference and neither bothered to ask Brodeur for a clarification."
Just to clarify..

DEVILS IN 6!!!

As far as for Marty's statement
"Pretty sure he wasn't actually advocating that strategy. If he were, then I doubt he would say it anywhere but behind closed doors. My take is that it was a sarcastic comment being blown up by the predictably tone-deaf sensationalist New York sports media. Scandals sell papers!" |
Truth.
