[QUOTE="COOL MAN, post: 129257646, member: 1080466"] Though hardly the same circumstances, the Downie challenge [B]did[/B] remind me a bit of the Shawn Thornton challenge of Brooks Orpik (which he, of course, refused) last season after Orpik laid out Loui Eriksson. Of course, the history of the Pens and 'Yotes is nothing like that between the Pens and Bruins, and Thornton (unlike Doan) was a career 4th liner whose sole reason for having a job was to take on the opposition. Conversely, I got the impression from the get-go that Doan recognized that someone was going to come after him.....with Downie the most likely.....and decided just to get it out of the way. Of course, I'm sure he also realized he had a major physical advantage over most anyone the Pens sent after him......but Downie especially. BTW, since I made the original post earlier this afternoon, I read a tweet from the local Penguins media about a post game comment attributed to [B]Ian Cole[/B] saying Doan either [B]"was running around like an idiot" [/B]or [B]"runs around like an idiot"[/B]. Sounds to me like Cole wasn't too impressed Doan's hit [B]or[/B] his post-game comments. Oh, regarding tonight's matchup with the Sharks; it sounds as though Perron is expected to miss it due to a lingering illness which kept him out of the lineup yesterday. BTW, it also appears some are currently calling for Beau Bennett to be sent to WBS in order to clear space for another D-man on the roster. However, I'm reading he'd have to clear waivers in order to go to the minors; so I wouldn't think that's an option. Meanwhile, it appears[B] Winnik [/B]is the current emergency choice to move back to defense tonight if necessary. I also wonder if they'd cut Craig Adams now.....or maybe even Max Lapierre.....to clear longer-term space for a Letang replacement. Of course, if Letang is put on injured reserve.....which I assume would be [B]before[/B] this Wednesday's game versus Philly.....that would clear his spot for [B]any[/B] call-up.
