Blackhawks winger Andrew Ladd said his team had a "good laugh" upon learning Canucks center Ryan Kesler call him a "coward." Ladd and Kesler had a short fight on Saturday during the Canucks' 5-1 win. Ladd landed a punch to Kesler's face, and Kesler wrestled Ladd to the ice. "We all had a pretty good laugh at it," Ladd said Monday. "It's pretty tough to take, I guess, when we square off and he takes one shot [to the face] and decides to bail on the fight." "He's a coward, he'll always be a coward," Kesler told the Vancouver Sun. "At least he was man enough to hit me when I was looking this time. He cross-checked me in the face [last year] and broke my nose when I wasn't looking." The bad blood goes back to last year's playoffs when Kesler claims Ladd cross-checked him in the face when he wasn't looking, and broke his nose.
