And I think that's part of the reason he won't be a Ranger next season. In the clip, Marty Brodeur obviously wants him to stop, and gives him a push and a [link]

The NHL Now Just Making Up Rules As They Go

You may have seen the video from yesterday of Sean Avery blatantly trying to distract Martin Brodeur by waving his hands in stick back and forth in from of him.
