Never seen a non-fighter type so angry before a face-off in all my years of watching.

There's some speculation that Bollig was chirping about Heatley's old vehicular manslaughter charge...

If that's the case, it's a bit bush league, to me. But, he did do it, so it's fair game, I suppose.

It's bush league but it also depends largely on what was said, Snyder was one of Heatley's best friends afterall. On ice trash talk is one thing but there are limits to what acceptable and to me personally something like that would be crossing the line almost as much as trash talking an opponents kids.

I agree with this 100%. It's one thing to trash talk, but to do it about that... I sure hope that wasn't the case.

That thought crossed my mind, as I couldn't think what else could make him so angry. As I stated earlier in the thread, hope that's not the case...I really like this Bollig kid, but that would be a huge mark against him in my book, even if I think Heatly is a douche.

Reminds me of the spark that caused this fight:

According to Theo, Chelios said "you'll be here for a couple more months then you will be back in rehab." while pretending to snort cocaine. Aparrently after that Theo lost it and slashed Chelios. Chelios elbowed him and then the fists were flying. I haven't heard Chelios's version. Supposedly they were friends before this incident but not afterwards.




That aside, Wings/Blues played a good game last night. It was a break-neck pace all the way through. Blues looked to break the will of the Wings with a shorty during a 5 min major. To make it worse they scored again 3 min later, around 9 minutes left in the 3rd, to go up 2-0. The Wings regrouped and came back strong. Two Datsyuk assists to Frazen goals alter it was tied with 3 min left. OT was almost all Wings. Shootout went Blues X X X and Wings X X 1 thanks to Bert's top-shelf backhander.

Very fun to watch. I'm thankful Howard seems back to mid season form.
