Can anyone tell me just what the hell is going on in the NHL these days? Seriously, what is up with some of these players? Have they lost their minds? Do they shut the hamster wheel off when they pull on the sweater?
Anyone catch what Mattias Ohlund from Vancouver did the other night to the Wild’s Mikko Koivu?
Sure Koivu tossed a well placed elbow to the side of Ohlund’s head as he was trying to avoid a hit but to swing the stick like Paul Bunyon and break another man’s leg??? I just don’t get it. Ohlund only got suspended 4 games while Koivu is out for much longer than that. Colin Campbell needs to really come down hard on some of these grotesque infractions. These half shield wearing woosies are getting away with murder on the ice. It’s high time the NHL eliminates the instigator rule and allows these boys to police themselves.
In a follow up to the never ending will he play this year or not saga around Bergie, Cam Neely was on WAAF radio this morning and said that the Bruins are preparing to play the entire season without Patrice Bergeron but are hoping he comes back. With the severity of a level 3 concussion, the recovery period is exclusive to each individual who goes through it. It’s not like knee surgery or a pulled hammy that has similar recovery time for everyone.
I would like to wish all Goon Blog loyalists a very Happy Thanksgiving.
