I had Jules and DaVinci shaved to a puppy cut for the summer. It took forever but they look so cute, will be so much cooler and they were dragging in mulch from outside by the bushel full. They’re sleek now and look so much better!

In the meantime, LeTang should be suspended for his dirty hit last night. Not to pillory, just to stop the madness. I would give him 3 games and you know how much I normally love the guy’s game.

he left his feet and made contact with the jaw. Letang should not get less of a penalty just because MoJO wasn’t knocked unconscious and left woozy like Olli. Orpik took his punishment like a man, admitted his mistake and looked devastated by the whole thing. I mean he himself was knocked into woozyland by one of the Flyers just last series. We will see what they do today, He better get some sort of suspension.
