Imagine that a Marc Crawford team gooning it up.

I NEVER would have guessed.

Fuck Marc Crawford and his team.

You know, I wouldn't have had as much of a problem with it if it appeared that they were actually trying to win the game. It really looked like they were more concerned with being physical than with winning.

I don't get that.

On another forum, Stars' fans are downplaying it and saying that Dorsett had it coming because of earlier.

They're just as classless as that hit.

Neal says he had no intent to injure

FRISCO, Texas -- Dallas Stars forward James Neal was suspended two games by the NHL on Friday for his hit on Columbus' Derek Dorsett during Thursday's game.
Neal, 22, was whistled for boarding in the second period of the 4-1 loss to the Blue Jackets when he hit Dorsett in the back, causing Dorsett's head to hit the glass. Dorsett had to be helped off the ice. Neal was given a five-minute major penalty and a game misconduct.
"I saw the hit several times on tape this morning," said Stars general manager Joe Nieuwendyk, who was not with the team Thursday. "I think it's a situation where I kind of believe that Dorsett was in the wrong spot at the wrong time. There was a train wreck coming and he got in the way of it. The play was coming up the boards, James was coming in and everything was meeting at a particular point. We'll live with the two-game suspension and move on."

Neal said Friday morning that he had a brief phone conversation with league officials to explain what happened.
"They asked about the hit, and I said what I thought and that was it," Neal said. "I didn't try to hurt anybody. I'm going in there fast and I had no intent to injure Dorsett. I was trying to hit the defenseman. I hope he's OK."

Wow.....that seemed like a gift. It looked high to me, but I'll never complain too much when a call goes the CBJ's way.

Nice kill there. Hopefully they can build off of that.

They need to dictate the style of this game. A track meet does not benefit Columbus. Start beating on these guys.
