- Sure... and I could also have mentioned the ugly butt-ending by
- Aucoin (I think) that took Peter Forsberg down.
-
- Markus Naslund took the blame for the loss after that stupid slash. It
- was only his third game penalty ever. Naslund said he intended a slash,
- that's a common part of the game being one man down, but no way did he
- mean to slash that high... it was accidental.

- I strongly doubt he ever said that, he is absolutely not the type that
- makes cocky statements. Besides, his friend Tyler Wright was over in Sweden
- to visit him this summer... I don't think that's the kind of things you
- say to your friends.
