Allllllllllllright love this on an off night.
NYR-BOS.
Unfortunately, my house lost internet yesterday... which sucks... (in small part, because the wife & kids think this is my fault. FIX.IT!!!)
But moreso, in my world, because watching highlights of NYR vs. BOS suggests that was a hell-of-a-game, with everything, goals, saves, fights, defense!
For those that don't watch all game highlights... this is a good set, I'd give this a 9.3/10
^Also, the McAvoy assist in OT... give that guy a +2... saved a goal, then created a goal. That's a defenseman, ladies and gentelemen!!!
Not in highlights these days are fights.
I'm still always scouring games for PIM... last night Wagner/Bitetto had a fight, which is strange, because Wagner isn't much in a match.
And Wagner had to take several big body shots from Bitetto.
Bush league, IMO, because Wagner leveled him with a pretty solid check.
I think Bitetto got his ego bruised on that check! Decided to look up and say "Hey, you threatened my manhood, drop 'em!"
If I'm the Bs... I finish the game, but Bitetto needs some work against somebody in his fight-class.
Wouldn't surprise me to see Trent Frederic get after Bitetto on Friday. Give HIM some body-shots!!!
Frederic worked over (to my surprise) Tom Wilson a week ago! So he's more than sizeable enough for Bitetto.
So... Friday PIM Prediction: Bitetto (NYR) vs. Frederic (BOS)
Now... even that is big advantage for Frederic, which means if that happens, Brenden Lemieux (who doesn't have a fight yet this year) probably gets ornery.
Maybe Kevan Miller too. And then, maybe, everybody gets ornery!
(Insert "Ornery GIF" image search from google)
Anyways - there was a LOT of emotions in game 1 of 2games between these teams.
And... as everybody knows... Friday Night is Alright for Fighting...
Well... close enough...
^This video... NOT close enough... I shoulda posted the real thing. Bad Pengwin... Bad.

Definitely lots of PIM available here. Nice call.
Yeah... a 2-fight NHL game is pretty rare.
After the first period, I didn't think the goonery would come!
Alas - it did!
Peng is the master of ID'ing and streaming for PIM. Solid call once again.
(And curse you for snagging A.Watson a few weeks back and killing my PIM-stream play that week!)
