js2 Posted September 25, 2010 Report Share Posted September 25, 2010 I'm surprised he wasn't suspended for that knee-on-knee hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlHabsFan Posted September 26, 2010 Report Share Posted September 26, 2010 And who is Blair Jones? Pretty much a career minor leaguer. He does great in Norfolk, but it just doesnt translate to the NHL for some reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
