Pens make a Statement...

The Pittsburgh Penguins lost to the Capitals last Thursday, but not without making a statement. One of Washington's player's went after Pittsburgh's top defense man ( Kris Letang ), and one of Letang's teammates took exception to that. "You don't go after one of the league's premiere defenders" , at least not without having to answer to somebody. Aaron Asham excepted a challenge that Capitals player Jay Beagle initiated, and took advantage. It took Asham two punches to knock this guy out and then made some theatrics on his way to the penalty box. I would have thought Asham's antics were childish if Beagle didn't entice him, but since he did, I thought what he did was pure genius. It just goes to show that hockey players will always stick up for their teammates, and always be willing to throw down on the spot. I love Penguins hockey, and once they get healthy, "look out to the rest of the league."
