Emelin's solid hit has the Avalanche chirping!

Alexei Emelin is known for this type of Darius Kasparaitis-like type of hit. These are clean hits and oh boy must they hurt. Even worse when you're trailing 10-1 late in the third period. Maybe this one was a but too much...

For Jarome Iginla, it "doesn't matter whether the hit was legal or not". "(I) just don't think (it's right). If I'm going up-over like that with two minutes left and down 10-1, I'd hope guys are coming in (for me). That's the way I've played and I think that's the way it should be played." told Iginla to the Denver Post.

"They can do the hit if they want," Iginla added. "It's part of the game. But we are allowed to do what we do too. That's what penalty minutes and stuff are for."

Bleacher Report's Adrian Dater had very strong words towards the Colorado Avalanche.
