Martin Brodeur not a fan of MSG

Before the Eastern Conference finals began, Martin Brodeur said he wasn't a big fan of visiting New York City, despite playing and living just across the river for 20 years.

After beating the Rangers in Game 2, he bluntly explained that he isn't a big fan of the Garden itself.

"It's a tough place to play," he said. "There's so many bad bounces. The ice is not good, the boards are awful and the glass makes crazy bounces everywhere. In the second period I think two or three just went right in front of my net.

"So mentally it's a tough game to play because you really have to look
at the puck all game long."

In fairness, Brodeur did later say the Garden is a great place to play, presumably a reference to the atmosphere as opposed to the facilities.

Regardless, he'll be back Wednesday night for Game 5.
