I don't care what the kid did, punching one of Yakupov's teammates after the whistle for no reason is ridiculous behavior. If an NBA player did that they'd be called a thug, so that's what he is. A thug.
Morris was an idiot there. Just skated up and started punching for no reason.

What exactly are the Coyotes so pissed about? Bunch of cry babies IMO.
Kings didn't throw a temper tantrum after Yakupov scored on them in OT and celebrated.
Apparently Whitney and Morris were chirping at each other earlier just prior to the play and it didn't have anything to do with Yakupov's celebration. Morris lost it over something Whitney said.
Would you take Ryan Smyth in his prime, though? Interesting how Kopi had his career highs when Smyth first came here. Of course, Smyth got old and was no longer that effective after that.
The Pro's Pro was more suited for the dead puck era. Since the 05 lockout the league is more speed oriented. He was never known as a speedster, and then when he lost that step every year at about the 50 game mark he was totally done.

I am kind of rooting for the Wings tonight because I picked them on "Streak for the cash" on ESPN.com, plus I kind of hate the Jackets after that one guy came over here talking **** after 2 games.
EDIT: 1-1.
