I'm pretty sure that when you betrayed your Ranger roots, stabbed them in the back like Benedict Arnold, and started cheering for the Bruins for the first time ever in your life.... that the Rangers were ahead in the standings.

Therefore, you cannot be a bandwagon fan you disloyal, fickle, team-switching mofo.

I would NEVER call you a bandwagon fan. That would be disrespectful. ;)

Truth be told - I cheer for like 3 teams in baseball - Nats, Os, and Indians, have lived in and around all those teams. Truth also be told, they ALL consistently suck!

BOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

Respect for Asham holding him up... he could have really got fucked up./

Stick tapping as Beagle got up and didn't play up the fight win for the crowd either. Big ups to Asham.

Like I said before, Asham def held him up a little on the way down. Had that just been a punch without him holding the jersey. Beagle would have been FUCKED.

Are you joking? You may have the Washington feed but He did the knockout, he's asleep crap on the way to the box. Ovie was very pissed and yelling at him in the box. I forsee an Ovie obliteration in the near future.

wow i cant believe Asham did that wipe move with his hands and then the sleepy time thing as he skated to the box ... with eveything thats gone on this summer and the public fire that fighting is under ... he does that ???

and I'm supposed to respect him?

also cant believe the pitt announcing crew didnt say anything about it ... well i guess i can

I know you were joking... But expect bitterness, shit is annoying. Its not the fact that people give me shit for following two teams at once, it is the fact that you fudgepackers insinuate I am some sort of bandwagon fan.

dont worry jeff ... i know the truth ... youre the bruins fan and your boyfriend Mischa is the rangers fan

i'm tired, irritated, used and abused. i got sarcasm, 4706 talkin about steaming cam shots... time for bed.

Hey, at least you have hair!

I gotta give props to 46 for catching Asham's gesture. I didn't see it, only a close up of Beagle's bloody face. Wonder if that was a difference in broadcasts or if I just missed it. Asham apologized after the game and said it was classless of him and that he just got too pumped up in the moment. So good on him for that at least. It happens in the heat of the moment.

I just thought this was another example of an unecessary fight. Watched the lead up frame-by-frame...
(1) Beagle gives Letang a pretty mild check that he doesn't even follow through on.
(2) Letang starts harassing him and hits him with a couple mild cross checks?/pushes?
(3) Tired of this, Beagle pushes back and kinds flails? up high (definitely not a punch) at Letang - kind of a "hey, get the fuck off me" gesture and takes off his lid

This should end there. Letang got in a shot, Beagle got in a shot, and you skate away and get back in the game. Instead we have to have a fight over a situation where neither players was dirty or outside the bounds of what happens in scrums along the boards. Give 'em both a roughing (or just Beagle since he took the last shot and last gets caught) and end it there. Instead a guy gets knocked unconscious. Silly.

Okay, late night of work. Time for bed. Good game.

I think people are way over reacting to Ashams gestures, if he had done the throat slash move or something it would have been in poor taste, but I thought it was funny. You get pumped up during a fight and emotions run high..

I think that on a team where on of their own has been "asleep" since last January and we are concerned about concussions and head shots, the celebration was unwarranted and looks really bad. However, Asham owned it and I repect him for that.

As for the fight? It was unwarranted, stupid and Letang is a little bitch. Asham had ~80 fights going into last night in his NHL career. Beagle had 1. Hell, Letang had like 7-8. Asham beat up a non-fighter kid. In a situation like that, maybe Letang should be doing the fighting. If it was Erskine or Hendricks I can see Asham doing it, but the "reason" for the fight was soooo lame, as eloco said, and the fight was significantly unfair.
