Colton then gave BJ a hard face wash of sorts, almost as if to say, "Run along home before I piss in your frosted flakes".

It would have been perfect if Lecavalier had felt they need to drop the gloves --- then Crombeen would have had another opportunity to skate after Phil Kessel for a minute or two. What an old school tough guy....

LOL hump I know they ya team , but your hate for the lighting/BJ Crombeen cracks me up. I feel your pain brotha!

And to everyone saying the ref was asking Brown if he was hurt in the Crombeen fight im pretty sure he was asking Crombeen if he was hurt not Brown..im not the only one who heard it like that right?

It is not exactly like Orr was defending Kadri from Brian McGrattan.

Doesn't matter. Orr isn't just there to protect his teammates from other heavyweight enforcers, he is there to protect them from everybody. If Orr just stands there and watches and Kadri ends up getting the sh*t kicked out of him Orr would be the one getting criticized for letting it happen.

What is with the Toronto goalie?

He threw out his leg at least three times and even took a tripping penalty. Dirty player, he deserves to get ran and have an ACL torn.

Crombeen looked good and glad he opened up. He landed a couple of good shots and got the win in a quick fight.

I love Hedman, but I ****ing hate Hedman. He has being playing with "an edge" but he just can't back it up. He is going to get embarrassed this season if he continues to go down this path.

Aulie looked like he was going to get a win over a good fighter then Frazier switched to the left. I still think Aulie landed the best punches but Frazier's left landed at the end and scored a knockdown/throw down.

You could be right. It does appear that he's looking directly at Crombeen, although I don't know why he'd be asking him that question. I've listened to it again, and it does sound like he's saying "Crombeen."

Orr is not standing around thinking "I wonder if my smaller line mate could handle the 6 inch difference in this fight". He doesn't care if it is McGrattan or Hedman, Orr is jumping in there to protect his line mate. Text book enforcing and thinking otherwise because it was Hedman is crazy talk.

Thank you.

Thank you.

I'm glad that there are still some posters on this site that remember that an enforcer's job is to protect teammates and stand up for linemates, and not just to fight the other team's enforcer off a faceoff (not that I have a problem with the latter).

it sounds like "brownie" to me

[Spoonster]

He is saying "Brownie, are you hurt? Brownie, are you hurt?"
