Was it Burrows or Kesler who did a similar thing to Turco along the half boards one night?

The Canucks became frustrated by Turco's roaming neutralizing their forecheck and finally lined him up, took the penalty and kept Marty to his crease the rest of the game.

Imagine if it had been Thomas in net and Henrik coming for the puck, poor Hank would have been in the quiet room.

A 2min penalty is the right call, Lucic started to hold up, Miller was turned and took the hit on the shoulders. i don't understand what the attention is all about.

Paul Gaustad's take

Paul Gaustad, a strapping Sabre, spoke of The Code in Montreal. “There are codes in hockey,” he said. “One was broken Saturday and honestly we broke one as well. We didn’t protect our goaltender.”

Just finished watching an awesome game Winnipeg/Washington.
The peg won it 4-1 and played a tough, physical game that we can only dream of here most nights. Evander Kane, Andrew Ladd, Dustin Bufflin, all thumped and crunched the caps all night.
If we could only add one of those 3 we'd look much tougher than the marshmallow squad we've been icing lately.

Well Ottawa made Alberta look useless, but we softened them up for the Canucks tomorrow

The more its about money....the less its about pride/heart.

The latter still plays a major role.but the former does too.

Geez it's almost like other good teams also seem to roll over when they don't have it on a particular night. Hwaks clearly were concentrating on the game in Vancouver and came down off a high.

Yep, when you win the Presidents trophy teams will generally bring their A game and use you as a measuring stick for their team. Taking the second period isn't going fly this year like it did last.

Did Jim Hughson just have a n 87gasm?

Did not see that but holy cripes batman, what a return, 2 goals and 2 assists.

[tantalum]

I know it's only one game but when you see a performance like that after 10 months away from the game AND you remember that he does that on pretty much a nightly basis I fail to understand how some people don't think he's the best player in the world.

Meanwhile, you have Ovechkin sulking because he's being asked to not take 2 minute shifts and to play a responsible two-way game, something Crosby has done since he entered the league.

[old calamari]

washington had their semen in the press box, maybe thats why ovie was sulking.
