Agree. Helm, Flip, Cleary and Hudler all looked good tonight. Steady as she goes. esteef

I feel so ashamed. esteef

I'm not as think as you angry I am. esteef

Kindl had just as many terrible giveaways in our zone as Ericsson, if not more. esteef

He sure as hell had a good pass to Flip for the 2nd goal, plus he's finishing his checks hard which I like. The goals will come. esteef

Great work down low by modano on that last goal! esteef

Money is the only thing they'll listen to. Good job sponsors! esteef

Yep, 6 mil a year players in the AHL, tv ratings going up on channels that no one watches and guys getting away with taking people's heads off. Great job Gary! esteef

I heard Crosby is having Zetterberg nightmares. esteef

Where are all the conspiracy police to put a tin foil hat on Joe Thornton? esteef

I wonder what Gillies thinks of the hit and resulting non-suspension? esteef

Yes, new helmets. esteef

The fact that the league is apparently incapable of properly managing itself warrants this type of action from major sponsors. If Bettman and Campbell and the rest of the clowns were on top of things, corporations wouldn't need to do this. esteef

No need to panic! esteef

I don't find it hard to believe at all that a player would take advantage on a hit against another player who has been a royal pain in the ass the last few times they've played. This notion that Chara didn't know about the stantion or who was even on the ice at the time is laughable. esteef

To be fair, Air Canada's letter never points out the Chara hit specifically, the media makes that connection in the article. The letter merely conveys the message that it's becoming harder to justify their sponsorship with the NHL when there are boneheaded disciplinary decisions happening that seemingly aren't curtailing the concussions and dangerous plays. esteef

Good. This just shows how "great" of a job Bettman is doing that one of the major league sponsors is threatening to pull it's money because the league is run so poorly. Nice work Gary! esteef

40 years ago there would've been a line brawl after that hit. esteef

Chara did it on purpose and all of Canada knows it! esteef

Hit'em in the wallet! That'll get their attention! esteef

So you claim you like the rough play but your comments here certainly don't support that. Considering what happened between the 2 teams the game before with DiPietro being KO'd and the Pens laughing and taunting, you can bet your ass the Islanders came in with some score to settle. Both teams were talking s*** all game and Gillies had finally had enough. Tangradi would never, never drop the gloves with Gillies so don't even bring up the he could've done it legit bulls***. Gillies wanted a pound of flesh from whoever was on the ice when he was and Tangradi made the mistake of giving him some kind of reason. I guess we'll see how f***in sassy Tangradi is when he returns? esteef

You missed my Gillies reference , meaning some smaller skilled player will probably get drilled, probably by some Montreal call-up whats-his-name. esteef

I'm sure this sits well with Montreal and they won't be looking to exact revenge Gillies' style next time they meet. Nice work NHL, get ready for another concussion. esteef

Yay! It only took him all season! esteef

He scores points so he's allowed to crush people's mellons into the stantion. See Pronger Rule. esteef
