Dutch Gretzky and this year's all star game MVP both got Gordie Howe hat tricks in the first period. I'd bet Iginla's performance last night inspired them.
They made a mistake in bringing back Cam Ward and starting him in 60 games.That 'canes team is a lot better than they get credit for.
Hope it's not a too little too late situation for them.
Let me just say that I agree with Thornton - I've seen some questionable/dirty hits from Emelin over the years and I know that he won't fight because of facial surgery that he had several years ago (I think he has several metal plates inserted under his left eye). I know a lot of people will likely dismiss the message because it's coming from Shawn Thornton (who hasn't exactly been a Lady Byng candidate throughout his career), but I think he's right about Emelin.
Is he right that pieces of shit like that are some new thing that's suddenly sprung up because of how the game is officiated and attitudes towards the roles of fighting and fighters? Well, let's say I think that's a little harder case to make.
Yeah, this romanticizing or revisionist history about guys being more hono(u)rable in years past than they are today is bs, in my opinion. Those Battle of Alberta playoff series in the 80s would make some of the games today look like a Sunday church social.

Just this season alone Emelin probably deserved three suspensions. He got none. I just don't understand it.
It was just "tapping"!He plays for the Habs. Duh!!
Only one other team gets love from the officials like the Scabs and that's th.... well you know.

Jimmy Vesey's a healthy scratch tonight. Since getting 17 points in his first 30 games, Vesey has 9 in his next 46.
