Good for Peca, he is a soild defensive player who helps out as much as he can on the score sheet! I think he has it good in Columbus, and I think they are using him exactly as he should be.

An ironic thing, the best ever open ice hit Nash laid on a guy was Peca himself, his Edmonton stint, came across the center line and Nash dropped the hammer on him, lights out for Peca. Peca was on the IR list for nearly a month with a cocussion. I hope Peca can stay healthy, we only saw a glimpse of him and Modine last year, both guys were walking wounded most of last season and I know he can contribute much more. Glad to have him back and the dressing room has another strong charcter guy.

“I was coming in to take the boards away and had some good jump. He bobbled the puck at the last second and I don’t think he saw me coming at all. It was a shoulder right in his chest. He’s eight feet tall, so it’s not like you could hit him in the head.”

- Ottawa's Chris Neil about a hit he threw on Tampa's Victor Hedman Thursday night, causing Hedman to leave the game.
