I think Neal should have gotten 10 to be honest with you. Direct contact of knee to the head like that is quite vicious. No matter how bad Marchand made it seem, Neal didn't make any attempt to get out of the way - implying he meant to hit him in the head.
The Bruins do get away with more than other teams though. It's so damn obvious the league favours them.
4 goal performance by Ovy last night, giving him 26 in 29. Hope he can get 50 in 50 this year, and end up eclipsing his 65 goal mark. The NHL is a very exciting league when Crosby, Geno and Ovy are going well. Add Stamkos, Getzlaf, Kessel and the rest to that, and its been a good year for scoring in general.
Who knew making goalie equipment smaller would result in more goals ?!??
Nothing like seeing Crosby and Ovy as #1 for goal and points!
