When Chytil got hurt in a 6-2 game how come no one the Canucks went after Dickinson or one of their better players? And I thought the Rangers were a soft team. Disgusting hit and awful response. Granted it happened later but should have happened when the hit happened. No heart. As a Rangers fan I hope Chytil can recover and it's not concussion related
Did you not watch? See Hronek go after Bedard behind the net? Cross check to the high close to the chin area? Or The Hughes cross check shortly after Chytil left.
It was definitely concussion related and he knew it, he almost did a face plant while getting up. But he was/is fragile in this regard.
Utah is not Chicago, they are not the #31 in the standings team.
The Chicago win was expected but they held the Canucks to 5 shots a period.
I doubt Utah's goalie will be at .600 sv % or the Canucks will score every 3 shots either.
Utah is on a wee bit of a heater with points in 7 of their last ten games, 5W and 2 OTL's
They are hanging in close to the last WC spot and this game is really big for them. They lose and the mountain might be to high to climb, they win and they are clumped together with the Flames, Canucks and Blues all within 2 points of each other.
This will be one of the few games this season they don't have key NHLer's out of the line up although they did just lose their starting star goalie and a center, Bjugstad didn't play Friday.
This is a semi scheduled loss because it is a back to back at home.
Frankly I was surprised I didn't hear the words "pond hockey" from Tocchet because that Chicago game looked awful.
Big game for both
