That was flagrant...he leaned in to shoulder-check Motte's head. Back in the day, regardless of color, Reaves would have been pummeled.

Indeed, I truly believe hockey fans just don't care about color...or national origin...or anything. It's probably because of that melting pot component to hockey (which I believe is greater than any other sport...it may not be racially diverse but it is nationally diverse). The Bullies of 1974 & 1975 were all Canadians but nobody in Philly cared. We had Wayne Simmonds for years, and he was a fan favorite because he was a scrappy guy and a fighter - that he was black never figured into that equation.

That Vegas goal hurt. Demko deserves a better support system.

Demko played lights out!

6 shots in 2 periods are the least ever, since they started keeping shot stats per period.

He got zero help from the offense.
