Anybody see the atrocious gladiator that was suppose to rally the Ottawa fans? I don't even think the lions yawned.
Montreal won last name!
Washington did not. They need to get it together or else we will have to endure another round of the Broad Street Bullies!
Way to go, Avery the idiot:
"National Hockey League Senior Executive Vice President and Director of Hockey Operations Colin Campbell issued a statement Monday to make the league's position clear going forward. The statement said:
"An unsportsmanlike conduct minor penalty (Rule 75) will be interpreted and applied, effective immediately, to a situation when an offensive player positions himself facing the opposition goaltender and engages in actions such as waving his arms or stick in front of the goaltender's face, for the purpose of improperly interfering with and/or distracting the goaltender as opposed to positioning himself to try to make a play."
So if anyone tried Avery's ploy again, it will be a two-minute penalty."
