When poetry turns ugly
Jason Spezza's first goal of the season after his return from a back injury that forced him to miss two games in overtime to win the game. That was pure poetry.
Nine penalties that cost us two goals and handed the Lightning a point. That was pure ugly.

Pascal Leclaire thinking he had the puck under his gloce when it had in fact trickled behind him, allowing Tanguay to bat it home. That was ugly.
The tic-tac-toe play between Spezza, Alexei Kovalev, and Mike Fisher to score the Sens second goal. That was poetry.
Having two goals recalled, one of which should have counted. That's ugly. Kerry, read the rules. Once you've called a penalty, not only does a team have to touch the puck for you to blow your whistle, they have to have possession.
Referee getting charlie-horsed a little later in the game. That's poetic justice.
Chris Neil's hit on Victor Hedman was both poetic in it's application and ugly in its potential considering the Ben Fanelli furore these days.
