CHICAGO, (CO) -- The red hot Chicago Blackhawks, are not only messing up the standings with there recent run of wins. They are also rubbing some teams the wrong way. After the Hawks 2-1 win over the Calgary Flames, some heated words have found they way out of Calgary. The Flames general manager Jamie Hoover, was quoted saying: "They take Guerin out of the game, destroy us in special teams, then to rub it in, Lessard kicks Boulton in a fight by jumping him. And who the hell cares if Lessard leaves a game right?..."
A quote that had Chicago defender/winger Francis Lessard laughing. "Yeah, yeah. It was a honest and fair fight. I gave Boulton time to react and get his gloves off. I cannot help he cannot fight. And he knew it was coming, he was running around all game long, making late hits and getting his stick up. Not that it matters much now, we won the game and I won the fight. Or rather, I kicked his ass." - Lessard said.
"Maybe the Calgary Flames should try and concentrate on getting there penalty kill going, or stop taking penalties. Insted of run to the press and cry about a fight they lost. But I guess it is easier to whine and blame the referee, insted of winning games on the ice. And who are they to comment on our players in that manor. Francis Lessard has been a solid player of us, and if I remember correct he had most hits against Calgary. Plus he gave the team mometum by taking care of Eric Boulton. To boot, the hit on Guerin was leagal. No penalty was called on the play, so tough luck." - Hawks GM Mathias Vaigur comments on the Flames and there outburst in the Flames press.
