    Travis Green tells it differently. He says the Rangers were lining up fights and if the Devils wanted that brawl not sure why they had Marino on the ice. Miler and Trouba can hod their own and I imagine Laviollete didn’t foresee the 4 others getting tossed.
    its dumb, fun to watch, but dumb.

    Lavliolette @ the practice facility a few hours ago.



    I get your Marino point, but Miller has never fought anyone despite his size. Braden Schneider would have been out there if they thought there was going to be a brawl.

    They’re probably both full of shit.

    Or maybe the players were kind of acting in the moment. Obviously Vesey and Lazar talked it over before the puck was dropped and dove right at each other when the puck was dropped, and Rempe and Macdermid were going to go. Barkley Goodrow usually doesn't need much prodding. It was actually the defensemen who skated around a bit before they found each other.

    Here was Miller earlier:

    Just saw the highlights of this and thought the same thing. I kept wondering when they were going to zoom out, and they never did.
    I was a little disappointed the goalies stayed out of it. That's always fun when they're obligated to get involved.
    Here's the overhead view.

    That whole imbroglio was straight out of Slap Shot.

    Another night in the Eastern Conference playoff race where all the contenders for the last spot (Caps, Flyers, Wings) lost. At least the Caps lost to the Canes and the Wings to the Rangers so that's at least a good excuse, but the Wings have done a lot of not winning of "must-win" games in the last month.

    The only team that looks interested in actually seizing a playoff spot is the Zombie Penguins, who were left for dead a month ago and suddenly have substantial momentum.

    The Penguins did what they hav been doing all season today against the Lightning, blowing a 4-1 lead, but scored late and held on for another victory. That would be eight in a row if not for a couple of blown leads in games that went to overtime. Crosby and Malkin are trying to carry the Pens to the postseason, but I wouldn’t say they are actually good.

    Blues goalie Jordan Binnington earned a strip for his "I"M AN ASSHOLE" sweatshirt Sunday night. He whacked Ducks winger Ross Johnston over the head with his blocker from behind. Johnston just took a high-sticking penalty and after the whistle several players were bunched together in front of the net. There was some minor pushing. Binnington was behind the pack and took two blocker shots at Johnston.

    The year is 2035. The Coyotes have been pushed out to play in the freezer section of a Safeway in Gallup, N.M. Gary Bettman insists this is a temporary arrangement while details are finalized on a new Phoenix-area arena and entertainment district.
