I watched the fight between Jay Beagle and Aaron Asham last night. I like many wasn't happy with the reaction from Asham after the fight was over. Beagle obviously was in need of medical attention when it was done. I know the Caps players weren't happy with Asham going after Beagle. I understand and respect that. I don't condone Asham's reaction to the end of the fight, seen here:
At least Asham had the decency to apologize for his actions. I know he was trying to bring the crowd up and get his team going. It did work, but the Caps' Tomas Vokoun stole the show. Vokoun made 39 saves in the victory, including 17 of 18 shots in the 3rd period.
Hopefully Beagle is ok. I don't have any ill feelings toward Asham. Fighting is part of hockey. It's been around since the start of the game. What I don't care for is gloating when the opponent is on the ice and clearly in need of attention.
It just sucks that this one incident takes away what was a great game. Pittsburgh definitely outplayed Washington. It was a great game to watch. Without Vokoun the Caps definitely wouldn't have won.
