HP, any more scoop on why this happened?

Friendly fire

The Penguins' optional morning skate was marred by a fight between right winger Craig Adams and Malkin. After a scrum was broken up, Adams emerged with a bloody lip. He wore a protective shield over his jaw for Friday's game.

Rutherford said neither player would be disciplined.

"Things fester sometimes, with teammates and emotions, and they break at certain times," Rutherford said. "That's going to happen. Sometimes, it ends up being good, and sometimes it doesn't end up being good. We'll watch how it sorts itself out, but it's not something that we haven't seen before. And it's not something we haven't seen before that actually turns out to be good for the players. The players have to come together as a team and have the chemistry, so in some ways, they're taking care of their own business, whatever that business is."

Will Bruins host Canadiens in 2016 Winter Classic?


Chris Johnston January 2, 2015, 4:16 PM

Signed agreements aren’t yet in place. An official announcement won’t likely be made for some time. But as we turn the page on the 2015 Winter Classic and start looking ahead to the next one, the signs are pointing to a Montreal-Boston matchup at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Mass., next year.

That is considered an appealing option for the game, according to a source. One area the NHL believes it can still grow its signature event is among the Canadian audience and pairing the Habs with the Bruins makes all kinds of sense — both because the teams are fierce rivals and it would encourage fans in Quebec to make the drive down for the game.

Among the issues still to be settled is striking a deal with the NFL’s New England Patriots, who would have to vacate their 68,000-seat stadium in mid-December and play a couple road games at the end of their regular season while the NHL built the temporary ice surface and staged the event.

The Bruins have already publicly acknowledged their interest in hosting a second Winter Classic following the 2010 game at Fenway Park.

It was the 2011 Stanley Cup final, of all things, that first opened the door for Canadian teams to get involved in the popular event. NBC received record ratings for that heated Boston-Vancouver championship series, and later signed off on a Detroit-Toronto matchup in the 2014 Winter Classic at Michigan Stadium.

“Everything kind of builds on everything else,” NHL chief operating officer John Collins told me last year. “I think that Vancouver-Boston Stanley Cup final began to change people’s perceptions really in the U.S. — that at a certain point it’s really just about great hockey and great teams and players, not necessarily about the geographic mix for the matchup.”

There isn’t a stronger rivalry in hockey than Habs-Bruins. The teams have met an astounding 34 times in the playoffs, including a seven-game series last spring.

If everything falls into place properly, there’s a good chance they’ll be squaring off in the open air at the next Winter Classic as well.

I hate these outdoor games myself but at what point do the Habs stop being on everyone's wish list and have one of these games in Quebec? **** Boston.

The wife was saying that they interviewed Malkin after the game last night and he basically said that it's all good and they just got a little too competitive... and Adams had no comment. So maybe Adams is still pissed off.

Malkin has a pretty bad temper. You see it in games all the time. He rarely turns the other cheek.

Thanks HP. Could a Malkin-Crosby main event be in the cards?
