Brodeur says he was interfered with on game-winning goal

Martin Brodeur, Philadelphia Flyers

Danny Briere’s big shot in overtime gave the Philadelphia Flyers a 4-3 overtime win over the Devils, but if you asked Martin Brodeur about it, he’d give you a different story.

Dan Gelston of the Associated Press reports Brodeur believes he was interfered with on Briere’s shot by James van Riemsdyk. Brodeur says van Riemsdyk pushed his stick out of the way allowing Briere’s shot to find its way into the back of the net and giving the Flyers a 1-0 series lead.

Briere’s game-winner came just moments after having a goal disallowed for kicking it past Brodeur. Don’t think Brodeur didn’t have that in mind while sounding off as Jesse Spector of The Sporting News gets the real dirt from Brodeur.

“Especially after disallowing a kick-in goal, they wouldn’t do it twice in Philly, that’s for sure.”

Brodeur wasn’t the only one to feel that way as CBSSports’ Brian Stubits reports coach Peter DeBoer said it looked like van Riemsdyk got in Brodeur’s way.
