Brian Boyle spared Justin Abdelkader when the horn sounded on Game 3, and he wasn't offered permission to whale on the Detroit Red Wings agitator. (Funny, Mike Blunden didn't appear to authorize the attack he endured in Game 2). But Boyle wasn't going to let Abdelkader get away without a little embarrassment.
So, Boyle went to the well, busting out the one-legged chicken dance as he exited the ice following the shutout loss.
Abdelkader, who had his hands taped (which would be illegal in a fight) as a result of the brawl in Game 2, told Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press that the coaching staff instructed him not to indulge Boyle.
