Cheap shots abound, from both teams,
as Rupp, not so subtly... intervenes.

Rupp beats up on Kopecky after Kopecky's right hand gloved sucker punch to Del Zotto who had laid the lumber on Kopecky.

Don't look now but the Rangers and Bruins are on a collision course to win the eastern division and except for the B-hawks there is no team in the west that matches up with either of them.

Mark on your calendar Saturday January 21 1 p.m. when the Rangers and Bruins square off. Should be a great game.

not really a fight if Rupp was the only one punching, so win Rupp. I am a Ranger fan, but Del Zotto deserved something for that dangerous stick play

The good news for Del Zotto is that either Kopecky doesn't have much punching power or Del Zotto was already off balance, and the punch looked worse than it was. If Rupp gets extra time off for this, its a wrong. Rupp is the solution here not the problem.
