What will be interesting is is if WANSBOROUGH gets more than one game
after someone looks at the tape. He was headhunting all night with 4 or
more penalties. The last deserves some additional punishment. He did not
spear Classen. Classen had the puck covered for several seconds and
Wansborough gave him a vicious slash to the head. Frankly, I was a bit
dissappointed that Drew Hale or one of the other players on the ice
didn't join Rodrigues. Wansborough deserved a beating.
