Stewart was dumb enough to break his hand in a fight in a game in which the Avs were up by three goals. I wouldn't put it past him.
Agreed.

Mark Olver's hit on Vladimir Tarasenko in last night's COL-STL game has been deemed legal hit and no further action is being contemplated.

Right and only call to make.

Lol, St. Louis (and their fans) are pretty pissed and 'apparently' will be seeking revenge next game. Olver will probably be centering Bordy and McLeod that game if Sacco is smart-never mind.
Edit: Turns out this might be a good rivalry afterall.
Agreed.
I just don't see how it could have been deemed illegal.
That line should be called "Two and a Half Men."
One thing that I thought was quite apparent last night was how terrible our forcheck is when we dump it in. McGinn, Olver, McLeod, Bordy, and Duchene are pretty much the only guys that try and lay a hit when the puck is dumped in. Jones is a big body, but he needs to use it more.
WE NEED LANDY BACK!!!!!
Downie too. He's very good on the forecheck and good around the boards as well.
I still think they are over reacting. It sucks to see a player get hurt, especially an exciting young player ( and us Avs fans have suffered through plenty of this the last few season). I just think these fans ( and media, Andy Strickland basically calling for revenge http://www.truehockey.com/articles/Questionable-Hit-Injures-Blues-Tarasenko) need to take a step back for a second.
If Downie had been playing in last nights game, there probably would have been multiple suspensions.
I can see Olver standing between Bordy and Cody just grining and saying ''Come at me bro'' to any Blues player trying to challenge him.
I think that could be the worst way for him to handle it. If he's challenged, he needs to drop the gloves -- as long as it's a reasonable challenge (i.e. not a Stewart mismatch).
After that, if the game is chippy, then he can have his buddies back him up.
It was a legal hit, but completely unnecessary, and borderline late.

I would have to watch the hit again, but it seemed like there was not much time between once the pass left his stick and the time of contact.
