Hawks, Canes Hope Home Helps

The Hurricanes made the mistake of playing a pretty open game against the Penguins last night.  Evgeni Malkin netted a hat trick and an assist on the way to a 7-4 Pens win.

Things got rough at the end of the game.  A frustrated Hurricanes team wasn’t going to go away quietly. After Kris Letang took a stick to the face from Ryan Bayda, Tim Gleason grabbed Letang out of a scrum and started tossing at will, just in case his face didn’t hurt enough from Bayda’s stick. Patrick Eaves also took some from Miroslav Satan.  Really.  I’m not making that last part up, it’s in the video.  Being in NY, I get Versus, but I hope to add the TSN feed as well as I was told Gord Miller gave the site a mention, always fun.

Both series are now 2-0.  The Blackhawks take on the Red Wings again tonight, this time in Chicago.
