Happy for UPL. He needed a game like that badly, as did the Sabres and us fans.

Who knew that KO is such a dirty player that he would make Matt Cooke and Steve Downie blush. Colorado is talking Raffi Torres level of dirt.

They are just upset their all-star D man has such weak ankles.

Am i missing something? I just don't see how this is a dirty hit at all? The strong reactions had me second guessing myself.

Cale's is a sweetheart. He waived off a penalty that was called on the opposing team like ovie did.
The response here is what i'd expect from Cale

and NO apologies from journos who were calling for a suspension, including Chief Meathead here in Buffalo.

You aren't, but if you listen to or read Colorado media it was a vicious, stick breaking, crosscheck to the back of the head or some such.

Eh, the Avalanche fan base is full of idiots. Remember when they thought their guys would make Brayden McNabb answer for injuring their top prospect in juniors a few years earlier? A guy who none of the players on their roster ever actually played with?

Yeah, it's called honesty. People make it seem like he's a saint for not falsely accusing someone of purposely trying to injure him -- it's the right thing to do and should be the standard for everyone.

I'm embarrassed when players dive and/or exaggerate things to vilify opponents but it happens very rarely.
