You sound like a pink hat. |
Eriksson never touches the puck it is near him. Contact shoulder to chin. I will take former NHL long time player Retro's opinion. Orpik knew what he was going to do as soon as the puck was rimmed around the boards he was going to unleash on the unaware Erikkson.
What the hell is a pink hat? For the record i am glad Orpik was beaten it is just unfortunate he was ko'd in the process. Just like Rhett said when a guy lays out another teams player like that he knows he is going to have to drop the gloves. Orpik wouldn't because he is a creep. He is too valuable to PIT bla bla bla. That old saying you hit the bull you get the horns.
