Not even a smile. This kid is ready to play.
- Late in the game, Wade Redden and Sidney Crosby get into a purse-swinging* incident. Not a big deal, but Whitney skates in from the blue line and just pummels Redden. In the dying seconds Gary Roberts basically drops his gloves and challenges any Senator to come get him. Chris Neil is on the ice but barely makes eye contact. The old Senators may be back.

Wade Redden should be banned from the NHL for getting roughed up by Ryan Whitney. He has to be the weakest 6'4" 215 lb guy in the NHL.
