You know, I think if, if I was trying to figure out exactly how the officials went or made up that decision, it's more or less that, you know, they're sitting there, they're having their little scuffle, they get pulled down after the hit.

And yeah,

it just kind of looked more like they're both kind of jabbing at each other.

And, and, you know, like Josh Manson said, he said, I, I, I miscalculated where I was holding my stick.

Uh, I'm sure you saw the quote.

I didn't want to butt in him, but he did want to punch him in the head.

Unfortunately, he was holding the stick when he tried to punch him in the head.

So, um, it was a little bit of an interesting, uh, of an interesting decision and one that obviously benefited the abs, but also benefited the wild.

They got the power play goal.

They got the first goal in it.

it could have been a lot worse for the abs.

Uh, as, as for the trash talk, I was a little world.

Like when we all heard the thing that happened on ESPN with PK Subban, where he just outright came out and say, well, PK, you played against him and he's dirty and you, you know how he is.

And,

Manson doesn't really have that kind of a reputation.

So the first thing that I did was I hit the Google machine and I did a Michael McCarron, Josh Manson search, you know, expecting to find like a 2021 play where some guy attacked another guy and there was nothing.

So it was really, it was really confusing as to where it led to.

And then obviously, you know, after a game like that, there were a couple of suckers in the media like myself and a couple of others that, you know, we,

We ignored the Nassim Kadri's and all the other guys, and we went straight to Josh Manson and talked to him, and he kind of explained it from his part.

So it was a fun little thing, but the Michael McCarron part was, you know, him talking to P.K.
