Laverty spitting in his face during that was kind of stupid. A ref sees that and who knows if he’d get suspoended for the Championship. But ya… Rochester was playing stupid the last bit of the game. I knew that once it was out of reach they wuld just get ultra physical by the time the game ended. ---

Hey… if you can’t make it at least you are supporting the team… getting them a good TV rating is needed too. Colorado fans will help with that since they live so far away… 🙂 ---
