They got all tied up, but at least, they were trying to get into a position to throw punches. The linesmen came in too quickly.

how is that an instigator and misconduct he pretty much said lets go and waited for bradely who dropped them first

A draw in my book.
Only slight edge to Bradley as he was only one who did something.
But he didn't land a punch though, just grazed a coule time?
Smith handled well to Bradley jerseying him at the end.

Draw.

It's intimidating to know that if you check someone while Jason is on the ice that he'll skate right over and stretch out your jersey. I guess it's too much to ask you throw a punch at 48 years old. Leave the fighting to Cote old man!

i'd like to know, what are the linesmen rules for breaking up the stings when the jersey is over one's head. Sometimes they let them go, sometimes they step in very quikly...

Terrible. 2 minutes for roughing, in my book.

I just love the way Smith stands up for his mates. No winner here, I'll call it a draw.

Posted by DMills56 on Jan 14, 2008 at 10:32 AM agree

This is a shining example of why the instigator rule is bogus

Posted by hkhk on Jan 14, 2008 at 5:26 PM agree

Bradley with the ONLY offense, but it ends with both standing.

Posted by napanee warrior on Jan 14, 2008 at 9:17 PM agree

fight?

Cool for Smith sticking up for his team mate. Would have been cooler if he actually landed a punch or two.
