You have to love a great hockey rivalry, even if you do not not necessarily like either team. The Washington Capitals and Pittsburgh Penguins have not liked each other for years but that rivalry is heating up even more now.
After Brooks Orpik got suspended for three games for his nasty hit on Olli Maatta, Caps' coach Barry Trotz was asked about it today.
This is what he had to say according to NBC Sports.
"I’m disappointed, but I’m not surprised based on who we’re playing and all that," the Capitals’ head coach told reporters today.
