Well, it did really look like the Russian player spat at him. It was a split second thing so I might be wrong.

shoyen said:yeah he did. It was Lemtuygov that got hit, then in the replay it showed him get up and spit right in Phaneuf's face. Im actually VERY surprised that Phaneuf shrugged it off
Yeah, he definetaly spat right in his face. I was impressed he just didn't do more about, they had something to say to each other later in the game however, after Lemtyugov hit Phaneuf from behind.shoyen said:yeah he did.

Vlad The Impaler said:The temptation to take his head off must have been huge. He was very disciplined. I would have liked to see if they shaked hands after the game.
To tell you the truth, I don't know how I would react to this. Phaneuf keeps on impressing me. He's improving by leaps and bounds and the areas where I felt he had slight question marks before the 2003 draft are getting really strong. He carried himself like a real captain tonight.
Don_Cherry said:Brule was very dissapointing, other than his huge hit early he faded away. Didn't get a ton of ice time though. I can't see him coming close to making the national junior team, I'd be very surprized if he were invited to the camp. If he is, it will likely be for experience only, I don't think he's a good candidate to play this year.

Dustin Boyd was the player of the game for Canada and he deserved it, he was very impressive. Especially for such a young guy. I'm pretty sure Voloshenko was the Russian game star. He scored the second goal and looked as good as anyone on his team, he was clearly the most dangerous player they had.
Shawn Belle was also good back on the point, Barker didn't do much. Phaneuf was good as usual. Fehr is great. Brule was very dissapointing, other than his huge hit early he faded away.
