Much has been made about the Rangers Sean Avery’s feud with Devils goaltender Martin Brodeur culminating in Marty’s decision not to shake Avery’s hand following game 5 of the first round of Stanley Cup playoffs. On Monday, Brodeur talked with The Record about his post game actions saying that he did not respect Avery enough to shake his hand.
"Why should I have?" Brodeur asked. "When you shake hands, it's a sign of respect. That's what you're doing. I didn't respect the stuff he said. I respect him as a hockey player. He contributed big time [as a player], but the stuff that he said, a lot of it was pretty bad. It had no bearing on the game or anything."But it seems like “he who shall not be named” (as Brodeur failed to call Avery by either of his given names) and the rest of the Rangers were able to rattle Brodeur's cage because he wasn’t quite himself during their five game playoff series. In any event “fatso” will have some extra time to think about Avery while he and the Devils enjoy their early vacation.

UPDATE: In Avery news, according to this he'll be interning at Vogue. I hope this is a belated April Fools joke, because even Lauren from The Hills has moved on from interning. Otherwise this must be made into a MTV reality show! (via Just Jared)
It's been fun blogging with you,
