Dustin Brown Cranks Henrik Sedin

April 16, 2012 – Dr. Rush He may dive to the ice at the slightest breeze, but Henrik Sedin deserves some props for getting jacked big time on the ice Sunday and staying in the game.

Pop! Blackhawks Duncan Keith elbowed Vancouver Canucks Daniel Sedin right in the head

March 22, 2012 – Dr. Rush A lot of times it’s hard to say whether or not a player gets a dirty hit on the Canucks Daniel Sedin. That dude likes to drop to the ice at the whiff of a stick.

Funny – Karlsson holds David Desharnais on the boards

March 15, 2012 – Dr. Deke I’m not sure if there really is a penalty for practicing pairs figure skating during a game but if there were than Erik Karlsson and David Desharnais should get the whistle.

Kronwall’d! Kronwall Levels Voracek

March 6, 2012 – Dr. Rush I think we can start making this a weekly featured. A poor guy playing against the Detroit Red Wings got Kronwalled…again.
