Eric Brewer hit on Maxime Talbot and A door opens for Zherdev
The Flyers and Sabres series last night has had some big hits that will get some review from the NHL brass. Eric Brewer’s hit on Penguins forward Maxime Talbot might also get a look from the Colin Campbell Wheel of Justice as well.
A Flyers fan mentioned this act in the comments of the Mike Richards hit on Patrick Kaleta... Patrick Kaleta for some reason saw fit to open the bench door of the Sabres players bench for Nik Zherdev while he was being checked, unfortunately that's a bush league move that was unnecessary because Zherdev could have been seriously hurt from that knuckleheaded move.
In retrospect I wish I would have watched this game last night instead of the snore feast between the New York Rangers and the Washington Capitals because it looks like the Flyers and Sabres series has proved to be one of the better series to be played during this season Stanley Cup playoffs so far.
