[QUOTE="champaignchris, post: 1152525, member: 26283"] I've heard it accused of the Gretzky-era Oilers that they'd purposefully get a penalty so that they could go 4 on 4. With Greztky's and Coffey's ability to hold the puck and the other team unable to ice it, it was unfair. (I don't know if they really did get a penalty on purpose. I think it's more likely that McSorely or Messier was retaliating for whatever rough stuff the other team was trying to pull on Greztky.) The Hawks aren't quite on that level, but I think the theory holds. More ice for Kane, Keith, etc. is only good for the Hawks. [/QUOTE]
