From the interviews after the game, sounds more like no one informed the Caps about the Code cause their reaction was questioning how much he should be suspended for it considering they are waiting for a teammate to get back from his 20 game suspension.

Maybe his hit was also because the Blues player violated the Code?

Or maybe you're just being a troll right now?

Because your code enforcing hero has done even worse to others without dealing with the same retaliation.

So it's not relevant at all. Got it.

I saw on a box score that T. Bertuzzi scored a goal for Detroit. I was taken aback, as I thought Todd Bertuzzi had retired years ago. It was Tyler Bertuzzi. Todd's son. This is the first time I've ever legitimately felt old watching sports.

So you expect Ellers teammates to turn on him in the media?  Lol, what do you expect them to say?  It would be a violation of the code to criticize the actions of their own teammate.

Well you did say that his teammates all think he crossed the line and some would have said something to him,yet they seemed to defend him and Think Matchand deserved similar punishment as Wilson.....

Let me guess, Fake News?

Looks like Marchand’s stunt succeeded in waking up and firing up his teammates.

Pretty sure Marchand could have sat in the corner sucking his thumb and losing 7-0 would have woken them up just fine.

If nothing else, thanks for the quick quote so I could catch my poor grammar.

If you're wondering why Karlsson never ended up in Dallas, well here you go: this is Miro Heiskanen's first NHL shift. Good god

Not sure Dahlin got any 4 on 4 shifts with that much open ice. 

Heiskanen being a year older will probably show itself at times, too.

Did we ever find out what they did for “team building” that day? 

They certainly didn’t look excited to be playing their home opener yesterday.

They spent the day stapling Karin Housley campaign posters to wooden stakes.  Eichel did the most so he was allowed to take a shift or two off during the game.

Think you mean period, not shift.

Sorta crazy stat: Ilya Kovalchuk has the SIXTH most NHL goals since 2001-2002... despite not playing the last five seasons.

Well I lied. It was supposed to say sixth most. I just forgot the word. But still wild

Dang. I was hoping to hear that they spent the day playing Fortnite, or engaging in a Dance Dance Revolution dance-off.

Ovechkin - 609

Iginla - 503

Marleau - 459

Hossa- 449

Nash - 437

Kovalchuk - 417

And we didn't go after him when he was available because we didn't want to mortgage our future.

F'N hilarious.
