Wonderful. ......but typical.

Hi, bro.
Are you back on the bandwagon?

I don't know if anyone else is aware of what happened at the end of Wednesday's game -- I wasn't aware of it until just a short time ago. But Erik Haula of Vegas slashed Orpik across his fingers at the very end of the game and received a 5 minute major and game misconduct for his trouble, which of course means nothing since the game was over, so he essentially got a "free shot." Orpik had to get some stitches in one of his pinkies, and I guess will have his hand taped up to some extent. Hopefully he will be able to hold his stick OK.
See, THAT'S not a hockey play. Haula should have gotten a match penalty and been kept out of this game. Deliberately trying to injure an opponent is what the NHL should be cracking down on.

Agreed, but you have to remember that the NHL only punishes Caps players.
OldHat:
Wow, I knew there was a skirmish at the end but why have I not seen this story? I agree with you. Doing something like that at the end of the game should warrant some other discipline. Cheap.
This series is going to continue to get nastier.
