No, but it didn't go up as much as a lot of teams expected.

Good on NBCSN, anyone who argues that fighting polices the game should do so over a clip of Shawn Thornton putting Orpik in the hospital.

Yep. Also because I just hate Mike Milbury.

"However, Milbury has also been criticized for the many decisions he made in which payroll or orders from upper management were not factors. Many young players and prospects that Milbury traded away went on to have distinguished careers, often eclipsing those of the players he received in return. He has traded away defensemen Zdeno Chara, Wade Redden, Bryan Berard, Eric Brewer, Darius Kasparaitis, and Bryan McCabe; goaltenders Roberto Luongo and Tommy Salo; as well as forwards Olli Jokinen, Todd Bertuzzi, Tim Connolly, and Raffi Torres. Milbury has also come under fire for his draft day decisions such as choosing Rick DiPietro first overall in 2000 over Dany Heatley and Marian Gaborik, as well as his decision to include the 2001 second overall draft pick (Jason Spezza) as part of the Alexei Yashin trade."

But it was the Isles so who gives a poo poo


staged fights are bad. spontaneous fights between skilled players are fun. trying to figure out which is which during games is too much work just ban it before some goons brain starts to leak out on the ice

The period just started. People are still getting back to their seats. This is asked every game why don't people realize this yet

Plus most arenas have ushers that stop you from getting back to your seat until there's a stoppage in play

Their home opener was way worse for the entire game but it was actually fairly full tonight. Most everyone is on piss/beer break. Also see above.
