Consider this rivalry renewed.
Watched this clip several times. V proud of Bolduc. And all the Blues on ice except one. Bolduc looked for the ref to call the 2nd -3rd shot to the head by Bedwetter down in Hawks zone. He looked right at him, no call on Bedwetter. This is typical, I say this as a proud Cdn hockey fan having watched Bedwetter over the yrs. The slightest infraction and he over reacts, never gets called. It is why he will never attain the same level of Rushmore ( Gretzky; Lemieux;Crosby;McDavid) that some wish him. This will help us in the rivalry.
The Hawks on ice jumped right in to save Bedwetter, justifiably. I could not see all our guys but several did their parts. Except one. Scott Perunovich. Having played and coached at competitive levels for yrs, NOTHING sours the bench attitudes like a 'skilled PP QB' not engaging - until the last moment. I am not a pugilist and in fact prefer the skilled game however there are times when it is required, pre-season or otherwise. TO.JUMP.IN.
I actually liked the arc of Perunovich battling back from injuries and trying yet again, however there is now sufficient evidence to release him to the Euro leagues.
Sidebar, thought Korchinski was a weasel for briefly going at DD in a mismatch. Try Tucker next time...who was not on ice , if dressed.
I know inflammatory however I despise the refs for having 2 whistles...yes Crosby is a whiner and we can pt out short comings across the yrs, however this was so clear to make it sick.
