Listening to Matt Carkner speak following his fight with Steve Downie last night, it sounded like it was coming from your buddy sitting next to you.
"Payback for McAmmond," Carkner told the Citizen following his fight with Steve Downie. And then, for good measure, "I hate that little prick."
Isn't that nice? To hear a hockey player cut through the rhetorical bullshit that we usually hear from grown men playing a boy's game? To hear a Senators player attack members of the opposition with little regard for this country's libel laws?
Not to mention the fact that an Ottawa Senator was actually willing to beat the shit out of an opposing player as retribution for someone who doesn't even play for the team anymore?
Forget the 7-1 shitkicking that this team laid at the feet of the NHL's biggest mess east of Phoenix. That was a nice bonus. But even if they don't make the playoffs, more of this will make for the best Senators team we've seen in years.
