Appears Hockeyfights.com voted this one 47% Georges, 28% Brashear, 24% Draw. I give Brashear a lot of props, a) for even squaring off against Big Georges in the 1st place, because there aren't too many left that want any part of him, and b) for the baby comeback at the end. But let's face it, this is another victory for the Heavyweight Champ. Brashear got one punch in at the end, that was all helmet, and Laraque unfortunately lost his balance. But Laraque was whaling on Brashear for the most part of this bout.
Was Brashear playing possum after the early beat down? Perhaps. Hopefully, this will lead to another meeting between the two.
In the undercard, Jordan Staal mixed it up in his 1st NHL bout with Matt Pettinger. Staal accidentally high-sticked some dude, and Pettinger felt the need to act like an enforcer. Note to Pettinger: if you're going to play tough guy, lose the shield. And there's no hair-pulling, Sally. Click on the link to see this one, but it's really not worth it. Pretty lame stuff.
More notes from the Pens 2-1 winner over the Caps Saturday night...
BRAVO Fleury!!! Marc-Andre was on top of his game, and coincidentally, those Defensemen I was ripping after Friday night's game played their best game of the year. Super cool seeing the team surround him after the final horn.
Mark Eaton!! Holy smokes, dude. You sucked Friday. You played incredibly well, Saturday. More of the latter, please.
Ditto Ryan Whitney.
Nice to see Staal get off of the snide, and we need to see more goals like this...winning battles in front of the net...scraps...loose puck , desire goals. Ugly, I like.
And if you're keeping score at home: Crosby 8, Ovechkin 1 (wins, that is).
Make no mistake, Alex is a stud, but he was held w/o a point for the 1st time this season Saturday, and for the 3rd time in the last 4 against the Pens.
