“Phil Kessel is who we thought he was, we didn’t play him in pre-season, Phil Kessel is who we thought he was, that’s why we took the damn ice, if you want to crown his ass then crown his ass, but he is who we thought he was, and we let him off the hook.” - Cory Clouston
Pretty sure I saw this somewhere…don’t quote my on it ;)
I love the replay angle from Kessel’s view point, Elliot doesn’t even move and the puck looks to graze his glove. Just another beautiful goal by Skill Kessel.

Leafs win! Toskala looked great other than two identical goals that Tavares scored in the 3rd. But really when you have the 1st overall draft pick standing in your kitchen with no one around and a gapping net what would you expect. ME I would expect someone to put him on his ass. BTW I watched the 3rd period at my local pub and was drinking some beer from a MUG! Just sayin’

Penguin Matt Cooke took a run at rookie Artem Anisimov of the New York Rangers over the weekend and landed himself a 2 game suspension.
Once again the NHL wheel of justice has landed and I for one am left scratching my head. Let the comparing and slow mo replaying begin.
Comparing this to the Mike Richards hit from earlier in the year all comes down to inches, it could be the benefit of Cooke’s height (lack of vertical leap) that his shoulder didn’t land squarely on Ansimov’s cheek and land the Russian on a stretcher.
Certainly the intent was there from Cooke to crank Ansimov who was busy checking out his pass as he made his way over the blue line. Most referees will tell you that if the intent is there than it actually DID occur.
I could see a single game suspension from this hit but 2 seems a tad high. Especially seeing how Mike Richards got off with nothing earlier in the year.
On a side side note, how the hell is this a 2 minute interference call?
Cheers!

This hit looks clean to me, other than Ovie jumping but Ovie jumps every time he hits so that should be ignored. Looks a lot to me like Kaleta sees him coming and decides to play the puck and take the hit. Just so happens that his head hits the glass. Pretty clear that Ovie catches him as perpendicular as it comes too.
I think the refs had it wrong and I will actually be happy when the league says no suspension for Ovie…maybe next time Kaleta should just not play the puck and let Alex take it and score, this way Kaleta will be benched and will be in a safer place.

Something new…
There are a lot of times where Darrin and I would love to elaborate on something that is happening in hockey but are pressed for time on the show.
Thought we would try this out and see how she goes.
Cheers, Justin
P.S. - Leafs rock.
More thoughts, and words of wisdom (yes wisdom) from both Darrin and I can be found here.
Don't shoot the messenger.
Justin
