If it makes you happy, I could go back to the LOST thread and stink that one up with even more gripes over the last episode.




I responded to you about Seabrook's hit on Perry. I think and still think it was clean. But, if you don't...whatever. Does that justify skating out 60 feet and leaving your feet with arms up to the head at full speed...?

jupitersolo

I have said it before here that I hate the bullshit retaliation hits/fights on a good clean hits, from the person getting hit or someone defending them and would like to see the NHL go after them with tougher penalties. I don't see Seebrook's hit as clean, he should have gotten something for but not what Miz did.

dom

Can't wait to get home and see the footage of these hits.

All I said was it was a clean hit according to the rules, I never said a hit to the head is OK, I also said they need to change the rule, but that according to the current rules it was in fact a clean hit. The NHL held the same opinion as I did saying that the hit was clean according to the rules.
This surprised me because being that Cooke was suspended once this year, I expected a suspension even though it was by rule a clean hit, just because of the track record the NHL had with suspensions.

I had issue last year in the playoffs, because your boy ovie (repeat offender with more suspensions than Cooke) consistently targets the head with his elbows, and arms (illegal) as well as knee on knee (illegal) not to mention boarding people from behind (all illegal according to CURRENT rules)

And since you guys are on the hawks/ducks topic. Seabrook threw an elbow right in front of a ref and got away with it, that call should have been made. However, there is no excuse for coming from behind the blue line, full speed and leaving your feet to strike someone in the head/face, that is just beyond intentional and should not be tollerated at any level.

jupitersolo

I just turned over to ESPN, they showed Seabrook scoring then, Wiz's hit on Seabrook, the dumbass said the hit was because Seabrook scored a goal. They didn't even show Seabrook elbow Perry.

Jupiter, I've been knocked out playing football. But I got up and walked off the field. Look at the way Seabrook went down-he was not faking it, he was hit badly.

And, by the way, are YOU getting any work done today?

Jonesi

It's pretty obvious Cooke should be suspended for 5+ games if not more. I don't agree with the steve avery, matt cooke, jarko ruutus of the league.. But the league screwed the pouch on that one. And the fact the rule still isn't changed today is ridiculous..



Ovie's hit is in a different class. He tries to play hard and pushed a little early.

jupitersolo

I just saw the replay on the 60" screen, much clearer as to what happened.

I am actually head of myself with work today. I have two more PO's to turn in in three hours, so ahead that I'm going to go eff off for a while.

Rounder

Agree with all, except Cooke (4) has been suspended more times than ovy (2)

Jonesi

Don't care... They can show their face all they want. Until they change the rule they haven't done or fixed shit. And the players will continue to run a muck..

Rounder

Think they will target Cros, or just Cooke? That's what I worry about, one of our stars getting blasted.

Any word on Malkin, is he back in the lineup?

Jonesi

I'll bite..

A fine for a repeat offender Downie who purposely jumps on back of Crosby knee is ridiculous. Not sure how they justify Ovie who is at least going at a high speed vs Downie who slowly lands on. Downie small fine but Ovie gets 2 games. The league is fucking up and yes someone is going to get seriously injured..

Someone is going to get killed out there.


From the cable TV fiasco to the franchising/expansion to this...We have Dumb and Dumber, the true sequel right here, folks.

BTW, just read that this was Savard's 7th serious concusion? Maybe he does need to learn to keep his head up, like I've said

97BlackAckCL

They poked fun at him, I don't think he actually voiced on the show

jupitersolo

He is still out http://www.nhl.com/ice/news.htm?id=521766 report in shaded area.

jupitersolo

This might be the one that keeps him out from playing. Shit I still feel the effects from a pool cue over 15 years ago once in awhile.

NHL suspends Wisniewski 8 games: http://sports.espn.go.com/chicago/nh...ory?id=5005504



Good.

dom

What happened to your user name?

jupitersolo

That was fast, do the Ducks play tonight?

Yumcha

Long story short, I got my original handle back. Yumchah is forever gone.

herbalist

Wow, I'm surprised they actually gave him 8 games. Sounds about right though.

dom

Too much change for me. I'll continue calling you Yumchah.

dom

Not sure how you only give 8 games for blantant retaliation/intent. 15 seems more appropriate IMO.

Yet, Seabrook's hit on Perry was borderline. Worthy of at least a penalty.

Steven Bell

iTrader: (2)

Wisniewski gets 8 games, Ovechkin gets 2 games-it sure pays to be a superstar.

Jonesi

I hope that's some sort of sarcasm... As domnn just said "blatant retaliation/intent". Ovies hit wasn't even close to that. He pushed a guy a little early. Two games is enough.

MWalsh9152

big surprise with this one

I still cant believe they didnt suspend him

Jonesi

Baby steps.. It's a good start.. imo they can't just start handing out 15 games after not giving Cooke anything. At least it's a attempt to get control of the league back.



As much as I hate him for the Savard cheap shot. It was good to see Cooke man up and fight Thorton and take the beating like a man..

Mike 350Z

Thornton got the extra 10 for continuing while Cooke was down??

MWalsh9152

yep 10 minute major, they were expecting problems, the nhl made sure it was a veteran crew, and I dont recall who, but someone from teh nhl that is part of handing out suspensions was in the house too

wstevens

Thornton destroyed Cooke. Nice.

Yumcha

Tuning in to the Hawks against Kings...so far so good. Seems to be an inspired effort so far.

Yumcha

What a nicely played game. Limited a dangerous Kings team to 17 shots.

Steven Bell

iTrader: (2)

I couldn't stay up for the game, but was glad (and surprised) to see a shutout of the Kings. You're right Yummy-they're a very dangerous team (LA).

iTrader: (6)

Wasn't much of a fight, Thornton is way bigger and has a longer reach. The real funny fight was later, Rupp trying to fight Chara, but Chara just kept him at arm's length and Rupp couldn't reach him

Yumcha

So, anyone -ing at the Coyotes...? Wow, within barking distance of the Sharks and Hawks for points lead in the Western Conference...!
