we weren’t the only ones that noticed this, were we?
TSN announcers never mentioned it.

Wow, I have to admit I missed that and I thought people might be overreacting. But that’s bad, and if the Caps can get the league review it, they may have a pretty good case on their hands.

So why didn’t Brash kill him for that?

I don’t fault Brash in this situation. Don’t want to go shorthanded.

The NHL needs to look at this. A spear to the face should be five games, minimum.

I’ll take the under.

Yeah, what I think discipline should be and what it is in the NHL are very different things. I’d set over/under at one.

As weird as it may sound, that is okay with me. Avery did a lot more damage to the Rags tonight than he did to the Caps. I’ll take him self-destructing in game 4 rather than him sitting on the bench.

Erskine can handle himself

Not only that, but 4 played tough and very smart last night.

Not retaliating was the key to drawing the PP’s.

Brash's Injury...

Brash played only 2 1/2 minutes in the game and had only one shift very early in the third period. He’s likely not 100% and was in the line-up more as protection. He mixed it up with Orr for a bit only to show he was there, and then spent most of the time on the bench. If Brash were at or close to 100%, he would have been out there more…
