Hockey Shots

God forbid that ABC would carry two games on the same day in one viewing market. There's hockey on right now, but I can't see it. I guess they want me to just be grateful that the Avs game is going to be on network tv later. (And, really, I am.)

Kyle McLaren of the Boston Bruins is suspended for at least one game after he tried to remove the head from Montreal's Richard Zednik. He should be suspended for much more than one game. Zednik made a move to get by McLaren. McLaren threw his arm (elbow) to make sure there was no way he would get beat. It was obviously just an instantaneous reaction to a guy who had just made a good move, but it was a cheap shot that had the obvious potential to injure. We'll see how the NHL comes down on McLaren, but I'm betting it will be harshly. ESPN has a good recap of the hit. The next game between those two teams is going to be ferocious!
