He wanted to make a statement? The statement he made to me was that he is easily rattled and will retaliate idiotically when chirped, to the detriment of his team. Is he saying "say my name" repeatedly to Lemieux in the box in the 3rd? First time watching him play - bad first impression, in my books.

catching only the highlights last night, I thought it was awesome
but watching the full game this morning, i agree, it was a cheap shot
if there was a history between these guys,
Thachuk should've threw down the gloves and challenged him to a fight or make a harder hockey hit when Lemeuix had the puck.
but an elbow to the face to the guy when he didnt have the puck?
multiple crosschecks to a guy when he's already face down on the ice?
put down the homer glasses everyone, we'd be screaming for suspensions if it happened to Tkachuk
