You're excused for apparantly being in the bathroom when Selanne left his
feet to throw an elbow at Cam Russell's face. But I guess if Cam hadn't been
wearing his platform skates, he wouldn't have been skating at the level of
Selanne's elbow. His fault, I guess.

Well, Winnipeg seems to be the flavor of the month around here and the cries
of bloody murder from there over this game seem to lack a bit of perspective.
It sounds like the whole team are candidates for sainthood. The old 
OurGuysThrowCleanChecksButEveryoneElseIsDirty routine. BOTH teams WERE doing
it up. Pretty evenly, Chelios notwithstanding (whose propensity for drawing
misconducts is getting tiring). Even so, this game barely had me paying 
attention in the 3rd period. I just watched the Hawks play 4 straight games 
against Norris Division opponents. And this game gets the complaints?
Winnipeg wants to join the Norris. What's going to happen when you have to
drag Chicago, Detroit, Minnesota, and St.Louis around 8 times a year each. 
This network will collapse from the traffic judging by what I've seen from
this game.

Believe it or not, other players besides Winnipeg Jets bleed and get slashed
on the ice without penalty, so don't martyr your brave lads yet. Chelios and
Brent Sutter seemingly bleed according to some schedule. It's been open season
on Jocelyn Lemieux's face since it was almost ripped off. Jeremy Roenick has
played through injuries via slashes to his wrists and hands last year and I
think again this year. The majority go without calls. People can tell you the
same about any other team so spare me the Winnipeg conspiracy. Just deal with
the fact that YOUR team can cheap shot and slash and hold just like any other.

GO EDMONTON.

Yeah, well get used to it. The former #3 (Dave Manson) of the Hawks had the 
same problem. I saw him pick up 3 "in the vicinity" penalties in one period 
once.
