Well, I’m primarily wanting to avoid the Pens until the last possible moment, but if they’re going to turn the puck over like that, I’ll take them earlier rather than later.

They’ve been tough on the forecheck though. Of course, NJD do such a good job tieing up sticks it hasn’t led to so many gold plated chances…

OK. probably won’t have time, but it defeinitely looks cool. I don’t get into the airport until past 4:30pm. By the time I get my rental car and drive through traffic I’ll probably have just enough time to find the Joe.

yeah, I’m going to want to see pics to see how they set up Ford Field! I was shocked that the NCAA’s ability to completely strip the VC of anything that really indicated it was the VC or that professional sports teams played there. They took down all the banners, any advertisements, everything! It was nice to see all the banners for national champion teams, but otherwise it felt a bit sterile.

Oh, be warned, absolutely no alcohol sales! I didn’t know that going in, it seriously sucked. Everyone ran out of the VC between the two semi-final games and invaded Clyde’s, Bar Louie, Rocket, etc. There’s not that sort of concentration of bars around Ford Field, unfortunately.

Nothing is going to happen tomorrow night. It rarely does the next game after these types of incidents. It either just goes away or the payback comes down the road. Neither team can afford to lose games or players right now due to shenanigans.

Yeah I saw that… Chicago’s cup hopes seem to be dimming by the game. Whoever they play in the first round is going to be playing good hockey, and they’re not going to be a team that can be run over… It would suck if Ovie’s hit ends up ruining Chicago’s playoff chances.

Brutal hit. Blatant charge and he got his hands up way high. The way Seabrook stayed up for a second then collapsed was ridiculous. I wish I could say I would be shocked if there were no suspension.

So, my. Anaheim-Chicago was a little chippy, wasn’t it? Lots of rough stuff. Seabrook did that thing with his face that actors do when they’re being KO’ed by the whap over the back of the head. You could almost see the stars swirling over his head. Half the Blackhawks D-corps is out right now?

(Because this is JUST what we needed, another play for Campbell to make a ruling on.)

Granted, I have no horse in the race, but the Seabrook hit on Perry looked questionable. I wouldn’t say it was a blow to the head (as the quacks in Anaheim are saying), but it was damn close. Of course, Wisniewski’s hit on Seabrook was unquestionably brutal. If Wisniewski isn’t today’s contestant on “Wheel Of Justice” I’ll be stunned.

“I’d like to buy a vowel… i” If Campbell actually wants to clean up the league, he’ll have a conference call with Seabrook too, just to let him know he’s treading close to the line.

Evgeny Kuznetsov hams it up as he joins the Russia men's national team for the "Sweden Games" leg of the Euro Hockey Tour in Helsinki, Finland.

There's a bit of controversy as their game against the Finns is scheduled to be played in Helsinki's outdoor Olympic Stadium.   Where the daytime temps are currently approximately minus-15 degrees Celsius, with periodic heavy snow.

This interview with head coach Zinetula Bilyaletdinov is fascinating, as he frets about the weather and especially when the reporters press him on the leaked reports that Kuznetsov will be centering the top line for Team Russia, just weeks after his 20th birthday.
