I saw this quote on the Bruins Blog featuring Andrew Ference following the Bruins slaughtering of the Habs on Monday night. Ference received an instigator penalty after his beat down of Andrei Kostitsyn. The fight started after Kostitsyn threw a high hit when the game started getting chippy. I love the how this rivalry will never die.
"He's dirty," Ference said of Kostitsyn. "That's the time to take care of plays like that. You want to take care of it during the season, but that stupid instigator penalty is in effect. That's a perfect example of why that rule should be abolished. It's way more dangerous to be hitting like that than to be fighting. It's not the first time he's done something like that. You can't let guys play like that. And he's not going to square off against you. That's going to be an instigator penalty 99 percent of the time. I'm lucky. I'm a small enough guy that I can go after guys like that. A big guy can't run around, chase him down, and pound on him. But it's going to be an instigator penalty even if he does hit me in the head or my teammate from behind, and I'm still going to get the extra. So it's stupid." - Andrew Ference
This coming hours after Bruins enforcer Shawn Thornton dropped this sweet one-liner to Fluto during the mornings sessions before the Bruins/Habs game.
