All in good fun

Even worse, they employed them after the incident. So by your logic, what Shawn Thornton did to Orpik was fine, right? And I did reference a dirty hit by the Wings, you just chose to gloss over it. Bruins aren't the cleanest team in the league but they aren't the dirtiest. Save that for teams like the Pens, Wild, and Flyers. Every once in a while, a Bs player does something dirty (Marchand, Lucic) but the team plays the game the right way most of the time (like Detroit).

This is true, so slashing and trying to trip a guy is ok as long as he can take it? Good logic. Bruins had the least amount of power plays this year. If they're embellishing more than other teams, they're really bad at it.

You mean like Franzen intentionally boarding Boychuk into the boards. Yeah, that happened. Detroit isn't squeeky clean. What Lucic did was bad but take off your homer glasses. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fz9RE9RGrVY And hey, Detroit loves cheap players, no?
