@Dejan_Kovacevic Pierre had Cy Clark thrown out of the game. Apparently he doesn't want people to know his name is Regis.

"I don't like that there's questions of marking a player or head hunting. It's never been the case for me. I've been a guy that's gone out and stirred things up emotionally in games, but I've never taken a shot at a player and I would never start to do that now. It's just one that got away from me a bit there and I'll take responsibility for that." - Mike Rupp on Oshie hit
