Canucks seething after hit
Hockey is a physical game, but watching the video of Colorado rookie Steve Moore’s hit on Naslund over and over does nothing but piss me off. Clearly an elbow on that play yet no call from the 4 blind mice. To make things worse Brad May is handed a retaliation penalty for roughing right after the incident. Although the Canucks went on to win the game 1-0 they are still pretty steamed.
My favourite quotes about it are from Bertuzzi and May:
“That kid’s a piece of sh–,” Bertuzzi said. “We play them twice more, and hopefully they’ll keep him [in the lineup]. It’s called respect. Things like that kid . . . shows the respect we have around the league.
“The issue is: Markus is reaching and the puck’s not there and this guy blindsides him. It’s bullsh–. It’s a joke.”
The Avalanche play the Canucks here again March 3 and visit Vancouver five days later.
“There’s definitely a bounty on his head,” Canuck banger Brad May said. “Clean hit or not, that’s our best player and you respond. It’s going to be fun when we get him.”
Naslund could be out a week if he has a concussion. UGH! Even reporters in Denver are disgusted. Watch out Mr Moore. You’re about to get your bell rung but good.
