Connor McDavid, who is widely considered as the best prospect in hockey since Sidney Crosby, did something earlier this week that is very unusual for a player of his caliber. He got into a fight. To make matters worse he broke his hand and will be out for up to six weeks leaving his participation at the World Juniors for Team Canada up in the air. In his latest column, TSN Director of Scouting Craig Button wrote about his thoughts on the incident and whether McDavid should be fighting at all. Connor McDavid should not be fighting, ever, said Button. A game built on warp-like speed and quickness, brilliant puckhandling abilities and a mind that processes the game at speeds only seen in Silicon Valley, should not include fisticuffs. Button says McDavid is far too valuable as a player and is no help to his teammates when hes sidelined nursing a needless injury. This is what We Said. Here is what You Said. Facebook: LA Roche - Its easy to say he shouldnt have fought after the kid broke his hand. If he didnt break it, youd all be praising him for sticking up for himself. Drew Murphy - If he thinks he can handle his own and is willing to fight then let the kid fight simple as that. Its his choice if he wants to or not. Michael Glazier - I agree totally. If youre going to have a player thats going to be the next Gretzky then you better trade off something so you can get a player and who will protect him by fighting and just ensuring he is not going to get any cheap shots. Jim Goodine - Emotions run high in the game. It will happen at times and he knows that. He cant expect someone else to always jump in for him and he cant run from it. Bravo Connor for standing up for yourself! Josh Andersen - Stars shouldnt be fighting, they should have players standing up for them. But sometimes you have to do what you have to do. He made the choice. Now he has to accept consequences. James Rodrigues - Never. Losing him for 5 min while the other team loses anyone of lesser importance isnt a good trade off. Brandon Aspeck - Why not? Iginla did it, Crosby did it, Lord knows that Ovi could if he wanted to at that size, so why not him? Twitter: Patrick Larochelle ?@crosby007 - @CraigJButton I dont know what McDavid was thinking.He shouldt fight.Its not part of his game..Thats a bad news for Team Canada. Morgo ?@Morgo_82 - @CraigJButton hes young, he likely still has trouble keeping his emotions in check. Too bad he had to learn the hard way. TSN.ca Drew Martin - Life lesson for Connor. Hes a game competitor and chose to chuck the knuckles in the heat of a game. He took a big risk and it cost him in the form of a broken hand. In the short term its a bad result for him, bad for his junior club and bad for Team Canada. Hope he heals quickly and gets back out on the ice ASAP. The-Van - So whats he supposed to do it an opponent jumps him? Not fight back and defend himself? I know thats not what happened here, but with the way hockey is getting softer and softer, his team probably doesnt have anyone to step in and fight for him when hes getting picked on.

After seven wins in a row, they have to do it one more time to get into the playoffs.ANAHEIM, Calif. -- Even coach Bruce Boudreau acknowledged the Anaheim Ducks played perhaps their most dynamic hockey of the season early in their 5-3 win over Carolina on Sunday night. The Hurricanes were suitably impressed, but they didnt stand a chance when the NHLs best were playing their best. Corey Perry had two goals and an assist in the first period, Andrew Cogliano scored a short-handed goal, and the Ducks jumped to an early 5-0 lead in their second straight victory out of the Olympic break. Frederik Andersen made 49 saves in his first action since Feb. 3 for the league-leading Ducks, who scored three times in an overwhelming first period filled with sharp passes, relentless skating and outstanding finishes. "We were as good as we can be," said Boudreau, who won his 100th game in Anaheim. Francois Beauchemin and Jakob Silfverberg also scored as the Ducks won their NHL-best 43rd game and stayed five points ahead of Chicago and St. Louis in the overall league standings. Anaheim coasted late in its third consecutive win overall, giving Boudreau plenty of fuel for practice even while he complimented his team on its start. The first 30 minutes were a beauty: Perry got his 31st and 32nd goals during his sixth multigoal game of the season, while Cogliano set a new career high with the 19th goal of his breakout season. "If we play like that all the time, well be tough to beat for anybody," Cogliano said. "I think we played really fast, moving the puck really well." Andersen was solid while earning his sixth win in his last seven starts, but the Danish goalie could be headed back to the AHL after the game. Viktor Fasth, who has been out since Nov. 18 with muscle inflammation, is due to return to Anaheim as Jonas Hillers backup. "If we play like that, were as good as anyone," Andersen said of the first period. "Weve just got to figure out a way to play like that for a whole game." Alexander Semin, Andrej Sekera and Patrick Dwyer scored in Carolinas fifth straight loss overall and its fourth in six days since the break. Cam Ward stopped 29 shots in just his second start of 2014, and the Hurricanes followed up Saturdays 3-1 loss at Los Angeles with another disappointing effort.dddddddddddd "You take the little positives that you can out of it," Hurricanes defenceman John-Michael Liles said. "We did put a lot of shots at their goalie, and he made some good saves. Ultimately, getting down early against a good team is tough, and it was a tough battle to get back. But were moving the puck well and were getting opportunities. Thats the biggest thing. We just got snake-bit." Indeed, Carolina put up 26 shots and scored twice in the third period, but went scoreless on six power plays to drop into an 0-for-21 slump. The Hurricanes conclude their five-game road trip out of the break Tuesday in San Jose. "Weve been pretty sound defensively," Carolina coach Kirk Muller said. "We just havent been scoring goals. Tonight we made a couple of mistakes early in the first, and they capitalized. They have some good players." Perry put the Ducks ahead 6:39 in, punching in a loose puck after the Canes defence came unglued during a shift by Anaheims dominant top line. Beauchemin scored later in the period on a slap shot that deflected off Jiri Tlustys stick, and Perry got his second goal 1:48 later with a nasty wrist shot. Cogliano scored during a horrible Carolina power play early in the second period, beating Ward between the goalies legs to set his new career high for goals with 20 games still to play. Shortly after Carolina got a bench minor for too many men on the ice during a power play, Silfverberg dug the puck off the netting and scored his first goal since Jan. 15. Carolina avoided the shutout late in the second period when Sekera scored in his second straight game. Dwyer added his first goal since Jan. 9 in the third period. NOTES: Semin returned from a one-game injury absence, but Carolina lost U.S. national team defenceman Justin Faulk to an upper-body injury early in the game. Muller had no update afterward. ... Anaheim F Tim Jackman was scratched a day after signing a contract extension for next season. C Mathieu Perreault also was scratched after getting hurt in the third period Friday against St. Louis. ... Cogliano has eight short-handed goals in his career and three this season.
