i’ll be consistent. ross made the stupid mistake turning around making himself venerable. he was looking for the power play there. Kaleta is apart of a bigger problem inwhich he does these dirty hits and then he turtles everytime someone wants to kick his ass on ice.
i cant name one player who has any respect for that guy.

How long did Ross think he could stand there looking down at the puck in the top league of a full contact sport?

Wasn’t Kaleta crybabying the other night because Ovie Boarded him and he cut his face on his own visor?

It’s hacks like Kaleta that need to be suspended 10-12 games instead of one or two. Those suspensions are too light and aren’t stopping players from running each other. Campbell needs to start giving out longer suspensions.
