In Monday night's Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Finals, Senators captain Daniel Alfredsson wound up and ripped a slapshot at Anaheim's Scott Niedermayer in the final seconds of the second period. It drew a scuffle before the teams exited to the locker room. I thought it was hilarious. There's nothing that says you can't do that, so I don't have a big problem with it. Plus it could get your team fired up and the other team frustrated. Obviously, I don't want to see that happen 82 games a year, but I don't really have a problem with it every now and then.

Don Cherry on NBC
Seeing Don Cherry make his American TV debut on NBC in the second intermission of Game 4 was such a treat. That guy is outspoken and controversial, but he's great. I personally love the guy and admire his patriotism toward Canada in addition to his love of the game. The conversation he had with Brett Hull about how the fans love fighting is genius. Are you listening Gary Bettman? Do you see the current fascination in UFC and other fighting leagues? Fighting = Entertaining. I don't want the league turning into a gong show, but fighting has a place in hockey. It brings back sweet memories of Joey "KO" Kocur, Bob Probert, and Stu Grimson.
