By
January 5, 2010

Seriously, we can’t seem to buy a win against these guys. I want no part of that come April because all four tilts against Los Angeles this season have reminded me of the Ducks playoff series last season. The bounces will never go our way, Quick will make a ton of saves, Doughty will...

The thing I notice about this video of the Phaneuf hit on Kopitar — and I mention it only because somebody said they thought Purcell turtled and/or fled the scene during the scrum — is that it’s pretty obvious all Teddy cares about here, and I have to agree…
