How’s this take sound to you? In my understanding of, and in my “JV” experience with, the original code, the chirping would be “nice hit” to Nolan and “keep your head up” to Ryan.

Sure, if Ryan's teammates hate him. Or if Ryan is a rookie.

Now the Senators beat the Rangers last night

Explain that one

Maybe there is hope

The Sens aren't good. A solitary win against a team 1 game above 0.500 does not make a good team. And it's hockey, where goals are scored off butts, shins and chins.

The Sens are garbage.  Go look at the official tank year of 2015. I bet there are at least 2 good teams we beat that season.  

 

In 2014/2015 we beat the Lightning, Montreal and Washington and we sucked. Lightning (108pts) and Canadians (110pts)  finished top in the east (Just behind the rangers). We beat Montreal 3 times that year.  The Capitals finished with 101pts.

Not to beat a dead horse, but why does a clean hit have to be avenged? They'd have likely ended up shorthanded in a game they really needed to win.

 

As others said, there didn't need to be a bench clearing brawl, but Ryan's teammates should have least chirped a bit at Nolan.  Instead they reacted like a kicked dog.

I see what you did there. 

[Doohicksie]

Oops.  Wasn't intentional.  What did I do there?  (besides inexplicably typing "hat" in there)

[LTS]

Just too classic.

Dorion says his son told him the other day, "Dad - your team's level of suckage is high."

I think avenging clean hits is The Code, Part Deux. Back in the day, as I recall, The Code came into play after cheap shots, when the unskilled went after the skilled, or when two tough guys wanted to raise the energy level by mutual consent. Fighting after clean hits, it seems to me, is a relatively recent annoyance.

 

Fight after clean hit (or it looks to me):

I am acknowledging my naivety.

[Sabres Fan in NS]

There is a separate 'code' for those dastardly Bruins, I say.

 

Oh, and those dastardly Flyers to.  GO GET EM, BOYS!!

Fight after clean hit (or it looks to me):

 

There's a LOTTA context outside of that one hit into the boards. And it was a different game in the 70s, wherein teams like the Bruins and Flyers made it their business to intimidate their opponents with physical play and regular beat-downs.

[Stoner]

Fight after clean hit (or it looks to me):

Even by 1972 standards, that was a heckuva charge.
