Bopp said:From what I saw on TV, I think Nystrom let him have it right on the bench. The Comentators said it looked like Nystrom was talking to the OS bench but I think he might have been talking to Hensick. HE was pissed off at someone. Who do you think it was? When the UM players went to see the goalie after the game, Hensick tried to talk to Nystrom and Nystrom kind of ignored him.

Is it possible he just got caught up in the excitement of the win and the empty netter? When a forward sees a puck and an empty net, it's his natural instinct to tap it in.
Leetchie said:Just saw the replay... pretty selfish play by Hensick. Not only the tap-in, but the cherry picking at center ice when there's an empty net at the other end? Pretty telling of the mentality of Hensick, in my opinion, without knowing much at all about him.
But Nystrom is the captain for a reason. Anyone with good leadership qualities will realize that this play is extremely trivial. Nystrom won't care one bit, and he shouldn't. If he does, he's not captain material himself.
On a side note, maybe the two are good friends off the ice, and Hensick did that as a joke so he could tease Nystrom later about not scoring a goal. Who knows? At this point, unless Hensick does similar things on a regular basis, this play is meaningless.
