NHL Playoffs

From gersreds:
Dear Hockey Experts,
As you are aware, I am your typical hardcore playoff hockey fan that doesn't pay much attention to the regular season since everyone makes the playoffs except for the Maple Leafs.  

If you saw the end of the Devils game, 
Brodeur was bumped  while getting into position for what proved to be the game winning shot. The bump occurred as the Hurricane player was backing into him while trying to get  to the front of the net.

Brodeur was incensed there was not an interference call and 
Chico Resch went on a long diatribe about it as well.

Question: If you saw it, did it seem like incidental contact or interference? 

Cheers,
Robert


My response:
incidental at most ... brodeur is a big sore loser, always has been. if you saw the flyers game you'd have seen sidney crosby crash the net with the puck basically in his lap as he shoved biron further into the net ... if that was a goal, then so was the one against the almighty martin. he should be penalized, fined or suspended for his unsportsmanlike conduct after the game. he could've hurt a player, an official or a fan whacking that stick against the boards like that. big baby.

of course, i hate the bloody devils nearly as much as i hate celtic. so maybe i'm biased.

how have you been robert? nice to hear from you. shall i start a playoff rant on my blog so we can all join in?
