Honestly I don't think there was anything wrong with that hit on Downie.

im fine with the call. like i said, downie should know to keep his head up, but i dont know how incidental i would cal that.

It wasn't incidental, Emelin clearly sticks his elbow out at the last second to pop Downie in the head. Just another example of the lack of respect players have for each other these days. 20 or more years ago, the rare player who pulled a stunt like that would have immediately got his butt kicked. This is the kind of crap thats ruining the game.

Huh. I saw that totally differently -- I think he chicken-winged him, on purpose, right to the jaw. I think he should get a call from Hockey Ops tomorrow -- those are the sneaky little shots that concuss a lot of players.

Which is why he also got the game misconduct so we wouldn't spend the rest of the game hunting him down to answer for it.

Maybe I need to really see it again. In HD would be nice.

Nets are still four feet high right?
Yeah that height might be a bit of a stretch.

G looks better tonight but it feels like he is trying to do too much. Almost like he doesn't trust anyone but him to do things (which sadly might be true).

He's a good baseball writer.

He's a bit thin-skinned if you interact with him on twitter. His tweets about Bryz after the buy out were unprofessional, but he wasn't any worse than the rest of the beat guys in dealing with Bryz.

Yes, there is an element of being the tallest midget in that case.
