Yes, Red Sox anxieties on hold for a bit. A kind of pleasant time-warp feeling. Carol White, Tony Buffa, Mike Machnik! Hockey-L old "Heavies." What next?!?

There hasn’t been this much chatter in a long time. I am loving it as I am not in Buffalo!

A 5 minute major plus the loss of another forward would afford an enormous advantage to the surging Denver team. Well worth the risk of losing a challenge. Even if the referees claim they didn't see it or didn't think it was a major penalty, forcing them to look at the video would "surely" have changed their minds (as surely as anything is sure when dealing with referees).
