Just finished watching the New York Rangers blank the Philadelphia Flyers (again). The Rangers played one of their best games of the season and won 2-0. Of course the Flyers tried to change the momentum of the game by gooning it up. I have no problem with old time hockey, however when two of the Flyers who are known to throw wear visors and do not remove their helmets prior to engaging the enemy I have an issue. I am a big Mike Richards fan (yes I know I'm an NYR fan) but I love the way this guy plays game. But Mike if you're going to drop the gloves you gotta either take the visor off or peel your helmet before you tango.
Of course Downey and Richards should have received another 2 with their 5 minute majors but I guess the ref's forgot about that rule.
Best wishes to linesman Pat Dapuzzo who took a skate to the face and suffered a broken nose and 20 stitches. This is Pat's last season and he is a great guy, here's hoping to a speedy recovery.
