Cooke finishes a shoulder check from the side so it's OK for Keith to elbow him in the head?

Cooke does, that's hit job, I hate players like him on other teams. I just think this is a suspension 'cause of the entire situation, not just the elbow. It looked pretty calculated on Keith's part.

EH, he got suspended for it, so it doesn't matter whether he deserved it or not. But, if that hit was suspendable then what Keith did is definitely a suspension. Especially since in the replay it was pretty obvious that Keith saw him bent over and just flew in from just inside the blue line to elbow him. Then Keith both won't fight and tries to dive after Cooke face washes him. This game is going to be fun.

Well I figure since the player who was hit just had the ole suspension spotlight on him it would be easier to suspend someone after a cheapshot on him.

Well if Cooke got two games for that hit on Anisimov then Keith's getting at least that for his elbow on Cooke just now.

Dupuis needs flexibility when he's taking slapshots from everywhere. Those gloves look really nice, the third jersey gloves are really growing on me.

Didn't Jagr have groin problems from about the 98 all-star game till surgery during the lockout?

As a Penguins fan this is very bad news. Stevens was good for giving other teams at least one game in a playoff series.

So mlb.com ran a special last week, 25-50% off on jackets. I buy the nice authentic yankees road jacket. UPS says it's coming today, I go downstairs to get the box. Hmmm it seems a little light. I open the box, it's a Detroit Lions hat. I will say that they were great on the phone but boy, talk about two different things.

He's taking actual slapshots now, it's good to see him not try and go to his backhand 75% of the time from the high slot.

Matt Cooke earned his money tonight. Borderline, at best, hit ends up putting the game completely out of reach 'cause of Brashear's penalty.

Good game tonight, weird though. They outplayed Montreal but you could make a case that Price should have saved all three goals.

Yeah, I think that's the first time I can remember a linesman calling something since they went to two refs. Great comeback though. The shift they tied the game on was just Malkin flying around the Panthers' zone for two minutes until they finally scored. Rupp needs to replace Guerin on the first PP unit.

I have a fully opened medium s9 and a fully closed medium v08.

Kovalchuk punched Cooke's helmet a bunch of times, got his jersey pulled over his head, that's about it.

Newest purchases, skates are about to get sent out to have sprungs put on them.

Eaton ended up being OK, but they called Lee up to be safe. Gonchar and Talbot tonight. Orpik is questionable for Saturday.

McKee is out now and Eaton left practice early. Gonchar and Orpik are both very close though.

Went out last night, felt fine, had a few drinks while watching the fight. Came home, went to bed feeling great. Since about 5am my respiratory system has been waging a war against me. Lots of phlegm and a sore throat. Great way to start off what will be a week off of work starting tomorrow.

My girlfriend is great at standing still pictures. Action, not so much.

Without trying to turn it into a pissing match. Red Sox fans are much more worried about what Yankees fans/the Yankees are doing than the other way around.

The cut 7ks and the cut titaniums are more the height I use. The other cut sticks were in my super short stick phase. The 8ks have draper dolomite HDs in them.

Yeah, the first generation ultra lite sticks out a little.

Not close to some guys' collections but after breaking a lot of sticks over the spring/summer I decided to stock up. some oldies in there too

Do they have to be? It's not possible for someone from Nebraska to like the Yankees, or any other team. Actually yeah, in my experience, either you live in new york and are a yankees fan, or you don't and you hate them, specifically because they are the yankees. 40some% of people in a poll this year considered the Yankees america's baseball team. Second place was the Cardinals and they barely got 16%. Most people who hate the Yankees, unless they root for a team in the AL East, do so because of misplaced hate. Hate that should be point towards their owners who are pocketing the money they pay to watch games instead of investing it back into their team like the Steinbrenner family does.
