Probably, he started a fight after the game was over, and the refs would not allow the handshake after the game...

Did some channel surfing and see the Pens offensive floodgates lifted...5-1 over the Isles.

I'm pretty sure black label is driving down his block and honking his car horn and w00ting it up like crazy...but, his beloved Finlandian kids defeated the Canuckian kids in the World Junior's.

I believe Bergeron told the refs to fuck themselves regarding the handshake line. Boston/Montreal is past the handshake thing after 700+ regular season games.

I'm loving the adjustments that Sullivan has been making, especially on the power play, and they're finally starting to show and pay dividends. The Pens are playing with more confidence and authority, and Sid is looking more like the Sid that we all know

I also see Letang is back...nothing like an elite puck-mover to get those forwards the pucks. Ask Edmonton ( ) what life's like when you don't have anything remotely qualified to be a top-4 pairing d-man playing...defense.

And we got Fleury back, and he looked like he hadn't been out the last 8 games, so that helped as well

Same question your poor goalies all ask themselves. Just watch Scrivens has decent numbers now that he's in Montreal.

Another gold medal for Finland. Not bad for a country who doesn't rank in the domcha top 6 world wide.

Ugh. I love the Blackhawks but I hate cheering for Patrick Kane. It's ruining my hockey mojo.

Not to mention, Toews is rotting on the top line with a 3rd line quality Hossa and bottom six Shaw.

Yeah, Kane is pretty much Manziel...except the former actually has talent and can produce. Tough problem for the Hawks who probably have quietly explored trying to trade him...

FWIW, the charges were dropped and even the DA on the case said it was a joke...so, despite Kane's stupidity in the past, I guess you gotta give him the benefit of the doubt in the "rape" case and say he's innocent. Doesn't mean he's not an idiot though.

Yeah, holy was that OT the way 3-on-3 the NHL probably wet-dreamt about (obviously, for black label, it'd be 3 Fins versus another 2 Fins + Max Domi all playing topless)...Great rushes and some insanity saves.

I WANT MOAR!

I think Finland finally struck a nerve on twiggie. Which future Blackhawk did they eliminate this time?

And the greatest GM in the universe trades for a has-been Vinny Lecavalier and Big Schenn who is not good enough to be in the Top 6 of a rebuilding Flyers team.

Of course, they will be the best trades ever for the next 50+ years for the Kings. All other GMs suck. Ron Hextall got fleeced.
