It’s the Hockey Blog once again we will skate around the world of the NHL.So get ready.

Lanz Editorial!
I’m ticked off at the lack of aggressiveness the Boston Bruins showed Sunday. These soccer moms in Bruins Uniforms lack INTENSITY. As matter of fact I’ll take the soccer mom comment back because they bring more intensity to their kids games then these guys do to professional hockey. If The Bruins need somebody to go out and even it up my I suggest, Kevin Youklis, Rodney Harrison, or Kendrick Perkinsor Cam Neely .

I will give Shawn Thornton some credit for explaining why there was no revenge on WEEI Dennis and Callahan Show Shawn Thornton Interview
Thornton took some hard hitting questions and said things may have been different if he was on the ice.
 

There are unwritten rules in sports you take out our best player we will get even(Spare please with the finds and suspensions for retaliation in the last minutes of game) Sometimes you need to show sack regardless of the consequence. Especially, when your best player is elbowed in the head. Do you think Bob Gibsonwould let somebody throw at Lou Brock? Do you thinkMarty McSorelywould allow anybody to touch Gretzky. Do you think anybody would touch Bobby Orrwithout retaliation. Matt Cookeis a cheap shot artist and mere thug, The guy is a disgrace to the NHL. It’s appalling that the Bruins didn’t retaliate despite the consequence. It’s appalling that this kid didn’t get a penalty. It’s appalling that Colin Campbell said he reviewed it for an hour and half with seven other guys and said it was clean. It is simply appalling that the game has been wuzzified worst than hitting an NFL quarterback.

Has the NHL not purchase HD TV s for the little room in Canada. Did Campbell not put his glasses on for this hit. It was a freakin elbow to the head. Why, Are the Gm’s meeting this week in Florida? Are they watching exhibition baseball? No to discuss a blows to the head and concussions. Marc Savardhas one as a result of a cheap shot and nobody is doing a thing about it.. There will be a hearing today with Cooke. Damien Cox of The Toronto Star has a good take on the the proposed new rules. He also quotes Pittsburgh GM Ray Shero saying in "our rule book Cooke did nothing wrong" I guess old Ray uses a different Rulebook. It was a head shot Ray!

Claude Julian needs to take a page from Reg Dunlop. He needs to send his guys after Matt Cooke. Not Syd The Kid. Then again Clyde Shouldn't have to tell his guys what to do when the Bruins play Pittsburgh on March 18th.

NHL Goes to Court
From TSN,CA
The NHL is sueing former Coyote owner Jerry Moyes in his family by sitting that Moyes and his family breached their NHL contract and agreements by putting the team in bankruptcy and the trying to sellit.

Emotions for A Class Act.

From the Pat Hickey of The Montreal Gazzette, Saku Koivupraises his time in Montreal as the Candiens took on the ducks last night in Anaheim. An emotional Night for Koivu who spent 13 years with the Canadiens overcame cancer in 2001-2002 and an eye injury in 2006. He was aUFA and signed a 1 year contract with the Ducks as part of Bob Gainey'shousecleaning. The Canadiens didn’t resign him. Koivu was hoping last nights game was in Montreal but it was in Anaheim.
