Getting Ready for the Break
Ah, the All-Star break. How bittersweet. A few days off, but no hockey. Just makes it all the better when play starts back up again.
There was some action last night, but it’s pretty late, so here’s the quick version: Schubert–Mara and Tor–Pit vids should be up tomorrow, Smolinski–Zidlicky and Cgy–Edm are currently up on the videos page.
The unpredictable Marcus Nilson–Marty Reasoner scrap is the newest Youtube preview.
Some reads:
Gretzky trying to awaken Laraque
Mara didn’t hesitate to retaliate, instigate
Ed Johnston and the leeches
‘Bully’ Domi back in court
Update 305pm: Schubert-Mara added to the vids page, and also to Youtube, which is viewable after the jump. It’s not so much a fight, only Mara picked up a fighting major (and an instigator and misconduct). Schubert did get a boarding major for his hit on Mara. Mara had no regrets about picking up the full package:
“If it happened again, I’d do the same thing,” Mara, who called Schubert’s hit dirty, said of his response. “That’s part of the game. We killed the penalty off.”

Update Jan 22 1255am: The Toronto-Pittsburgh clips are all on the videos page now. I also made a compilation of all three and put it on Youtube. It’s currently a preview on the vids page.
