I don't know.. I never been payed to play sports before... but I have played in front of large crowds... and when the crowd is into the game, when the crowd energy level is high, it affects you as a player. The crowd had no energy in he 3rd, after the scuffle along the boards, they started getting restless and Asham, IMO, took that opportunity to get some energy back into the building... it worked... you can say the Pens would've scored a goal anyways because of the pressure, but they didn't score unitl after the fight, unitl after the crowd was full energy. That fight earned a Pens one point, again, just my opinion.

I think the crowd was pretty loud starting around midway through the 2nd period (it was like a church during the first) and on. But fair enough, agree to disagree. The goal clearly did happen after the fight.

...so he pulled a Letang?

No an Adam Graves...

No an Adam Graves...

He would have had to break his wrist for it to be a Graves. Letang has only broken one thumb so far (to my knowledge), and I don't think Malkin got hurt.

Wow.

It was an emotional thread. I am sure he didn't mean it. he was just caught up in the moment.

More or less yes, My original post was never meant to be offensive to begin with, I just stated I didn't think it was a big deal.

Guess it was a wrong side of the bed moment for all.......

I have to do the 405 to the 101, shuffle. It quite possibly is the worst stretch of traffic in the US.

That's nothing... my daily commute is 405N -> 105E -> 110N -> 5N -> 134W (and back). 30 miles in 1-2 hours each way, depending on traffic. :p

That's hellish. Thankfully, the wife, baby and myself are moving back to the Burgh at the end of the month. She got a teaching position there, and I was all too happy to move away from $4.50 a gallon and 3 to 4 hours of commuting, daily.

I'm not going to miss this traffic. It's just ridiculous how you have to plan your life around this mess. I've lived here for about 8 1/2 years, now... and despite the wicked winter months, and the lack of a beach, I really don't think I'm going to miss SoCal all that much.

so i was wrong ... again

Asham thought his actions "classless." NHL apparently doesn't agree and will take no disciplinary action against the PITT forward.

I think that might have been a $2,500 apology. Smart move by Asham.
