Yes, that hit to the eye was awful, you never want to see injuries like that, and the reason I hate the Pens is because they whine and cry, but also because they are dirty, like Cooke on Karlsson which I believe was intentional. They take cheap shots all the time which I have seen in person, and I know all teams do, but I've never seen anyone do it more than them.
I definitely agree about the Habs, who would think that they could go from worst to first, but the Blackhawks are also a surprise, I know they are good, but undefeated through 25 games is beyond impressive...the team is just firing on all cylinders right now.
