funny how everyone is bitching about the Leafs running up the score.
Yet they all forget that if the Leafs don't run up the score, they are risking the other team catching up and winning it in the third.
We all know a 3 point lead is not enough for the leafs to have the win in the bag. I say what they did today was the right thing since it doesn't happen very often.
that should be 10 games right there. A elbow to the side of the face and he didnt even have control of the puck. This is what the NHL wants to stop.
Seemed like there was an elbow follow through... but the contact point
looked like shoulder to jaw... hard to see, those camera angles aren't the clearest. It's quite close.. but either way, dirty hit because of the situation.

Yea, thats what I thought at first but took another look and I think he was just following through with his shoulder which made it seem like it was an elbow after the contact had been made. Still a hit to the head nevertheless.

Atlanta Thrashers coach Craig Ramsay raised a lot of eyebrows when he decided to move newly acquired Dustin Byfuglien from forward back to defense. Three months later, Ramsay's move looks like a stroke of genius.
All Byfuglien has done is lead all defensemen in goals and points as the season reaches the halfway mark, moving him to the top of the heap among candidates for the Norris Trophy as the NHL best defenseman.
Byfuglien's 16 goals in half a season are just one less than he scored all last season while playing forward with Chicago. His 41 points are a career high, and his six game-winning goals lead the NHL, as do his three OT goals. He's one of the biggest reasons (figuratively and literally) that the Thrashers have jumped into the top eight in the Eastern Conference and seem likely to make the playoffs for just the second time in franchise history.
"I watched him handle the puck," Ramsay said of his decision. "I didn't realize he could be that good -- but I saw him handle the puck and shoot it, so I knew of that. But when you're trying to make a forward into a defenseman – even if he has been a defenseman – it's a very difficult process."
One that Byfuglien has mastered with flying colors thus far.
Byfugly seems to be a pest over at the east as well
hes obviously good at the offensive side, but has anyone seen him play the defensive side? its kinda mind boggling that hes transitioned soo well and so fast.
Toronto (January 8, 2011) – Atlanta Thrashers forward Ben Eager has been suspended for four games and will forfeit $20,752.68 in salary for delivering a blow to the head with a punch to Toronto Maple Leafs forward Colby Armstrong in NHL game #605 on January 7, the National Hockey League announced today.
Eager’s fine is based on his average annual salary and is calculated under the terms of the Collective Bargaining Agreement. The money goes to the Players’ Emergency Assistance Fund.
The incident occurred at 17:05 of the second period. Eager was assessed a match penalty under Rule 21.1 Attempt to Injure.
Eager will miss games Jan. 9 at Carolina, Jan. 14 against Philadelphia, Jan. 15 at Dallas and Jan. 17 at Florida. He is eligible to return Jan. 20 against Tampa Bay.

It's not even about the 3 goal lead. Look at the Nucks. Why have a heavy weight fighter in your lineup to take up a spot that only plays 3-4 minutes in a game and doesn't make the lineup in the playoffs when you can take it to the other team by scoring goals while on the PP.
I know, the leafs have Orr as their fighter, but who is he going to fight when Eager is gone with his match penalty.
In this case, the leafs scored 4 PP goals on the 5 minute PP from Eager's sucker punch.
Same thing for Detroit, Chicago last year and Nucks this year. They have no heavy weight goon in their lineup. But you take a stupid penalty, and they will make you pay by scoring.

Why would he win the Norris if mike green never did? Wont happen Posted via RS Mobile
Because green may of been putting up the points but he was honestly horrible defensively. When Buttugly is putting up the points and he's great in his own end as well which the Norris trophy is about.
