Old Style Brawl Up

Here are my thoughts on this:

1. These type of hits (Neil on Drury) are the ones that are hurting guys and giving many a concussion. Blind side hits and lack of helmet straps are starting to become the norm. The shoulder to head is also a problem, and it is legal. What can you do though? It's heads up or lights out. My thought is, why should hits be allowed after a player has released the puck? If you take out that rule, you decrease shenanigans by like 90% if you ask me. But then the argument is : "but we like shenanigans." Well, everybody does, until it is their player that takes the initial knock to the head. I'm not one to complain though. I don't condone violence, I just enjoy it.

2. Why is Ray Emery grinning like an idiot? Is it because he knows he's about to kick some serious ass? The guy has boxers painted on his helmet, why would Biron challenge him.

3. There is something seriously wrong with the situation where neither the referees nor any Senator stepped in to stop Peters from challenging Emery. That is a disgrace. The guy is in goal pads for Gods sakes.

4. Rob Ray finds himself in the middle of a fiery feud between Ruff and Murray. If you watch closely, you will see once the obscenity riddled rants start flying he quickly covers his microphone. Guess a little bench to bench chat isn't suitable for all audiences.

5. Rick Jeanneret Rules! That guy could make eating a bowl of soup exciting.
