from Bill Dwyre of the LA Times,
Well, this week, we softy West Coasters showed ‘em….
Our Ducks were ready for more against those Detroit Red Wings on Thursday night at the Honda Center. Tuesday night, one of the Detroit guys, Tomas Holmstrom, skated past a bent-over James Wisniewski, who had just taken a puck to the lung, and unloaded an elbow to his head. Just for good measure, apparently.
Well, our Ducks kicked some butt the rest of the way, won the game and were still fighting the Red Wings after the game ended. Gloves and sticks littered the ice as fans filtered out.
Then, about five minutes into Thursday night’s game, Bobby Ryan found Detroit’s Marian Hossa lingering behind the Ducks’ net and lit him up. Hossa spent some time flat on his back and the Ducks’ Chris Pronger got a penalty. Go figure. That’s hockey.
All this makes us beach bums in the land of fruits and nuts proud. We get it.
more on the ‘toughness’ of SoCal, basketball included…
How many more times are we going to have to read about a ‘bent-over’ Wisniewski? The video evidence is below, he was not bent-over, end of story.
