GOP Leader: Abortion Is A 'Lifestyle Convenience'
After watching his team drop the first two games of their opening round playoff series with the Rangers, Bruce Boudreau decided he needed to make a change. Out of the lineup came play-making center Michael Nylander, and in his place fell perennial enforcer Donald Brashear. After those two games, it was clear that the Rangers had gained something of a physical edge over the surprised Capitals. And on Sunday in New York, Brashear showed exactly why Boudreau gave him another shot at postseason hockey, first picking a fight with Rangers enforcer Colton Orr during pre-game warmups and then crushing penalty-killer Blair Betts with a borderline hit that sent him to the locker room in the first period, never to return. Later reports today say that Betts suffered a broken orbital bone and is done for the rest of the playoffs.
Brashear will have to answer for both of those actions later today, when the league holds a hearing at 1:00 PM.
Given how the Rangers have kicked up such a ruckus in the press over how the team was treated unfairly as they dropped back-to-back games to the Capitals in Washington on Friday night and at Madison Square Garden on Sunday afternoon, it would hardly be a shock to see the league throw them a bone and suspend Brashear for a game, even if that would mean issuing supplementary discipline for a hit that didn't draw anything more drastic than a two-minute minor for roughing on Sunday afternoon.
