Greg Wyshynski at Puck Daddy takes a look at the scrum during the Rangers/Canucks game last night that ended up with 10 Rangers on the ice, Sean Avery mixing it up with Shane O'Brien from the bench and no punched thrown...
"Terrifically odd scene last night in the third period of the Vancouver Canucks' 4-1 victory over the New York Rangers: Marian Gaborik gives Ryan Kesler the weakest slash to the leg in recent memory, sparking a fight-less melee during a line change that actually had 10 players on the ice for New York.
Once that situation was defused -- and it did look like it was going to boil over a few times into an old school 1970s sprawling slugfest -- the action moved to the benches, where Canucks defenseman Shane O'Brien decided to nudge Sean Avery with his lumber...
...Clearly, the scars of 1994 have yet to heat. Not mentioned by the CBC: Avery snatched the harpoon from O'Brien and tossed it onto the ice while his mouth continued to move at the speed of sound."
Here's video of the scrum from Puck Daddy...
...wow that whole scene looked like a complete over-reaction by the Canucks.
