Too many men on the ice,
turns, what could have been... a great hit,
into a total cheap shot,

As a result, Karma steps in, and allows Callahan
to gain a brief upper hand on Blunden, before the take-down.

Captain Cally feeds some rights to Blunden's grill after his linemate Dubi got waylaid with a vicious hit. This was a great game--you'd have thought Les Canadiens were out of it but they battled back. They nearly tied it near the end when the Rangers fired an errant pass that just missed their goal after they had pulled King Henrik on a penalty.

Callahan wins -- although Dubi took the worst of it. If the 6th guy on the ice doesn't touch the puck is it still too many men?

Like most traumatizing experiences...Dubinsky swears - " don't know what happened , the guy just popped out of nowhere ! "

Good of Callahan to step in but I don't think Blunden gave it all on the hit, could have been much worst for Duby.

Good call by the refs on 'too many men'.

Callahan upsets Blunden

Nice work from Cally.

Captain Callahan to the rescue. Nice defensive job to start, then gets the right free and gives it to Blunden.

Edge to the Ranger in the 1st bout which wasn't much! and a draw in the 2nd bout which should have been 4 minutes for roughing! Where is silly-little-bold-billy and the homer hitman514?

Callahan dominates this round

Posted by billy jack on Nov 6, 2011 at 2:28 PM agree

i dont know man,if callahan wants to get involved he should drop the shield,blunden doesn't wear one,at least he never before.could be wrong though.

Cally steps in after Dubi gets blindsided off the bench by Blunden.

Total Hab Beatdown..., Nokolainen looked to get the better of his fight tho

Posted by Rags4Life on Nov 6, 2011 at 12:33 AM agree

Would have been a great hit had there only been 5 Habs on the ice

Captain Cally steps in for his guy and gets the edge in this one

Posted by DMM on Nov 7, 2011 at 6:52 PM agree

The hit was clean. Just bad timing for Dubi. Good for the captain to step in like he did! gets the easy win!

Posted by 5minmajor22 on Nov 6, 2011 at 2:49 PM agree

Cheap move by Bluden coming off the bench (too many men) to make the hit on the unsuspecting Dubinsky... to you defenders of the dirty hit: it was only possible because he came off the bench, it never would have happened otherwise. Habs fans crying all over TSN
