if you actually watched the game like I did, and if you’re actually a fan of hockey (disclaimer: I’m a Canucks fan), you’ll know that first the Blackhawks’ Byfuglien hit the Canucks goalie, then was never to be seen again in the ensuing brawl (he hid behind the net, how’s that for manning up), then Eager had several opportunities to fight O’Brien (the Canucks’ best fighter) and didn’t go. Then Burish started punching one of the Sedin, a skill player half his size who never fights, O’Brien and Bieksa goes after Burish, then Eager grabs Bieksa from behind and they fight, even though Eager had the advantage at first since he grabbed Bieksa from behind and his jersey comes loose. Eager did get a good shot in and won that fight clearly, however he did also go MMA with the illegal take-down by lifting his legs. Burish never manned up to O’ Brien, who was held back by a smaller Blackhawk, Dave Bolland. All O’Brien had to do was punch Bolland and then fight Burish but he never stooped to Burish’s level. Alex Burros pulling Keith’s hair, well that wasn’t pretty, so I’ll negate Eagers attack from behind with that. The icing on the cake was at the end of the game when Willie Mitchell and another Blackhawk got into a shoving match, and Byfuglien decides to finally act tough, and is the 3rd man in as he pushes Mitchell to the ground. Classy. There’s a reason why the Hawks lost 4-0.
