Jokinen got sick. Not injured.

Thank you

I think the Subban-Morrow thing is more age related than anything...I wonder if we're beginning to see less fights simply because younger players don't do it very much.

Or fighting is sort of pointless and penalized to make it that way.

But I'll stick with "gutless pukes like Subban like to take cheapshots and mock the game, but are too chickensh*t to answer for their crap".

[Sarcastic]

"Asked about the "fight," Morrow said: "Well, that's just not how you see a fight going, I guess. I wanted to stand up and throw some punches. I was just upset with how it went."

It looked like Subban tried to sneak a punch in almost before the gloves were completely off, yes?

"A little bit," Morrow said. "Usually, when you have a visor, you're respectful and you both take your helmets off. That's kind of the unwritten rule or code. I was expecting that and I'm kind of upset by it."

Question: It looked like you wanted to go again.

Morrow: "I didn't have the opportunity."

A reporter than wondered what happened in the penalty boxes and whether "I want to do it again in five" was a fairly accurate quote on what Morrow yelled to Subban:

"That's probably the PG-13 version of it, yeah.""

lol, I like this guy. He's having an impact and I think he'll be more useful in the post season than I realized.

I this team

You had me at hello, Mr. Morrow! And Doug getting a goal! I chose a turrible game to be tired and sleep UK time.

[Shakes]

Now the real reason I came here - was Jokinen injured? Only played 7:05. Or was he the one they referred to as being sick.

The latter.

[k0la]

That was 2 points to put Canadiens out of the competition for number 1 seed. Win against Boston and Pens get it no?

[DropEmJayBird]

I'm sure Mark Madden will use Subban today to garner outrage by claiming the only reason for Pittsburgh fans to boo Subban is because of his skin color pretty much ignoring Subban's high stick, his turtlepunch, etc.
Every call from someone wishing to express those points will be screened, leaving only some yinzers who can't string a sentence together to make it on the air.
Madden will then switch to Steeler talk and bash James Harrison or perhaps some other football talk where he bashes Rushel Shell - and then mix in how Penguin fans are superior or something.

I just assumed it was for slicing staal and being a part of that Canadians team that knocked the pens out of the playoffs three years ago.

Someone needs to turn that into a Matrix gif

[Geezer]

Subban went down faster than Sonny Liston did in the second fight with Ali in Maine. Fight lasted for 1/2 a round with Liston dropping from an invisible punch

[slipshod]

Subban CLEARLY doesn't want to fight there. He just wanted to get one in and tangle up for the refs to break it up. It's funny that for a guy that can be near impossible to knock down at times can "suddenly" have no balance at all and flop to the ice from a nearby breeze. He had a scared look in his eye after Morrow told him he wanted to go again in 5.
