I watched the TSN highlights (bad mistake) to try and see some of the dirty plays Domi and the Habs were up to since I missed most of the game. Here's a surprise... they didn't show any such play. Just the goals. I forgot the red and blue (much like the blue and white) can do no wrong on TSN. Such clean, sportsmanlike players- Lady Byng material. Sportsnet wasn't much better, though they showed the Drouin/Brodie exchange.
Could you imagine if some plug defenseman on the Flames had hit Drouin or Domi, or for that matter Matthews or Tavares, from behind and that player missed some game time? My god, there'd be a TSN special inquiry into the event with that highlight played fifty times before midnight. Department of player safety might have to be helicoptered in ASAP to make a ruling ASAP.
As a fan of a western team it's easy to ignore the eastern media circus most of the time, not so much when the circus comes to you.
How did MTL outmuscle us? Their biggest fake tough guys are 5 feet tall! Trailing by two goals you don't want to goon it up, but there are ways to get your shots in (ask the Ducks...). Harden the f up flames....
