Yeah, that check from behind by Versteeg was just a pathetic cheap shot... dumb play and when he knew his team was already going down. Definitely liked our physical play, and holy crap did Wright ever get fed rights by Schultz.
Definitely not the start Lethbridge wanted, but they did keep it fairly close through 40. You could see the Canes come out with a lot of energy to start, but as time went on Calgary slowly took over. They sure frustrated our powerplay much of the night though. Feel bad for Jones, as he lost a shutout to ill gotten gains by the Hurricanes... the play we took the penalty on should have died on a Lethbridge high sticking penalty, but it was missed. Ahh well.
