Well, if you want conspiracy...Neal gets only 5 games for his Muay-Thai move and now, Bortuzzo is apparently not going to be disciplined as it is D'Amigo's fault that he has a head on his shoulders.
I mean, with how the Pens are so decimated with injuries...I could see why the League wants to ease up on suspensions...RIGHT?

That's where you're wrong Yummy, after Orpik's shoulder on shoulder hit where all of Boston was up in arms saying it was a hit to the head, we've now been called 2 games in a row for hits to the head, even when both were shoulder checks not direct targets at the head. They're clearly trying to make up for Eriksson getting hurt. Engelland tried to go shoulder on shoulder and caught abs in the jaw. The league has already said Bortuzzo was also using his shoulder as well. D'Amigo was fine and came right back in the game, he did lay on the ice for a minute to buy the penalty, and I had no problem with the penalty call.
Bortuzzo delivered a third-period hit on forward Jerry D'Amigo in which a portion of his right arm hit D'Amigo's head. Bortuzzo will not face any discipline for the hit to the head, which NHL Player Safety deemed was unavoidable in a decision announced after the game.

.....Oh Poo...
He really does pull this stuff straight out of his @ss!
On Tim Thomas...
While so far injuries have been a disappointment in Florida, Tim has shown he can play, and he has definite trade value as a backup for a playoff team looking to make a run and in need of playoff experience or assurances. The Kings (e3) and Penguins (e4) are two teams to look for here...no question. I have also heard Columbus (e2) mentioned.

Gotta feel for those poor long suffering Leaf fans. Down 3-0 to the lowly Floriduh Panthers at home. Will their suffering ever end?
Senior Moderator
Seriously...WTFBBQ is with the Leaves' slump? I mean, sure, the Hawks were awful against them on HNIC but if the Leaves can score a TD and conversion on them, they should win with some regularity...?

Martin Jones with ANOTHER shut-out.
Scrivvenzzzzz Your tenure in LA is ending soon.....Fratttttin....your tenure probably as well.
Note to the teams of the NHL: Don't trade for Leafs....they stay Leafs when they come to your team. :wink:
Kings got screwed on the Bernier deal.
Scrivvenzzzzz Your tenure in LA is ending soon.....Fratttttin....your tenure probably as well.

What's the over-under on the Wings ever winning another home game this season?

But, honestly, the Kings are like a goalie factory. Definitely got a nose for drafting (or sighing in Jones' case) them. Maybe you guys keep Scrivs and ransom Jones to the Oilers for one of their prized studs going nowhere.

You think the cheapshot/chippiness is a team culture thing? I mean, is it just me or is every second bad hit attributed to the Pens the last couple of years? And when did Neal become like this? I don't recall him being this type of player (to muay-thai someone) when he was a Star.

Not too sure.....but Neal pulled off an epic cheap shot with the knee to the head.
He's a cheap puke like Malkin now.
Need a guy like Dave Tiger Williams around to pound these gutless pukes.

Scouting report on Mr. Jones has been pretty good...just was buried behind Quick and Bernier in the past.

Jones solved the "what to do with impending FA Scrivenzzzz"
Which is why the Kings have been playing Jones over Scrivennzzzs.
They are verifying the Jones is the "real deal"...it appears the case.....and with that, Scrivenzzzzz will be dealt.
Stranger things have happened, but I'd be shocked if the Kings dealt Jones and kept Scrivenzzzzzs. It makes zero sense to do that, especially in the Cap era.

Anyhow, just asking. It's just that the Pens have interestingly become the new "Canucks" with this cheapshot/dirty team stigma. With a team with this many stars, I personally don't think it is necessary to have it...you can still have success without resorting to that IMO.

Googled that and saw the video...I'm not siding with Marchand because we ALL know what type of grating player he is (as are all "agitator" types). BUT, the hit he planted on Neal was almost NEXT to the guy...not from behind...at least to me.
