You have to love a sport where a superstar will drop the gloves in the middle of a game and throw some punches. I was pretty surprised to see Marian Hossa get into a fight; but I was even more surprised to see that he could hold his own. Not a bad fight for such skilled players. It’s kind of like saying: “you’re not that obnoxious for a New Yorker.” Ah, the never ending joys of back-handed compliments.
This is just another reason that the Red Wings are once again one of the best teams in the league. I wonder if the Penguins wished they could have signed Hossa right about now. Hell, they probably wish the could have Ryan Suter right now too!
