Sather did it with Gretzky often.<BR/><BR/>But I'm looking forward to Saturday.

It just seems like sometimes the "code" of hockey is a little ridiculous. I'm all for fights (especially ones involving Emery... I'm look for an Emery jersey now...) but it just seems like no one can accept a skilled player getting his clock cleaned with his head down.<BR/><BR/>I also love how easily something like this divides people. If Peters had hit Spezza in the same way, Ruff would be screaming that the hit was fair, and Murray that it was dirty. I mean, that basically goes without saying, but it's just funny to see human nature acted out on the ice. And the fact that the two worked together previously is also a good bit of seasoning.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5906875144542272320.post-34865234673922796342007-02-23T15:25:00.000-06:002007-02-23T15:25:00.000-06:00I think Ruff was more concerned about his 7th regu...I think Ruff was more concerned about his 7th regular player being lost to injury. The thought is that if a tough guy takes a run at a skilled guy and the skilled guy gets hurt, the opposing team's most skilled player is going down.<BR/><BR/>As gutless as it may seem, that's the law of the land. Tough guys go after tough guys unless someone breaks rank. Then all hell breaks loose.Teebzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00538474727022437837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5906875144542272320.post-70529080099008015332007-02-23T14:22:00.000-06:002007-02-23T14:22:00.000-06:00I agree.

Lindy Ruff should be ashamed. Chris Drury gets hit with a clean check because he was admiring his pass and he sends out Mair and Peters against Heatley and Spezza? Wow, no subtlety there. There should be some disciplinary action there. I mean, it's not even as if there wasn't already a retribution fight with Neil. There was, it was over, and yet he sends Peters and Mair who go and cross-check and chase down the two best Senators. Why? Because Drury doesn't know how to watch for a hit? Come on. That's gutless.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
