Wow Garth Snow defending the Gillies hit

[ELYEAH82]

Wow...

What did you expect?

I didnt expect any comment on it to be honest. You dont hear Shero defending a Matt Cooke hit.

 

[DaBoltsNIsles]

Shero's team hasn't been fined 100 grand. With Mario making a statement I wasn't surprised one bit that Garth said something as well.

A statement is one thing to condone that hit is another imo. Mario made a blanket statement Garth did not

Garth Snow is still the GM for the Islanders?

Mario was speaking to Bettman, Campbell & the league office. He's an owner.

Garth as a GM was simply defending his team. He's proud of the way they're sticking together. If Charles Wang wishes to say something he will do so.

Like I said, you dont hear Shero defending Cooke and what Gillies did makes Cooke look like a Lady Bing candidate

Are you serious?? Cooke is almost in Avery's class. This is the first time Gillies has done anything like this.

By not making A statement about Talbot laughing during an interview about hurting an isles player Mario did some condoning himself.I'm not condoning snows statement or what gilles did but this incident is not solely on the isles.Neither team was innocent here.

Almost? Cooke is far more worse.

Are you serious?? Cooke is far past Avery's class. This is the first time Gillies has done anything like this.

Sorry guys I was surprised by the post. I really couldn't believe what I was reading.

Everyone understands Cooke is a douche and no one defends him. All I am saying is I was surprised Snow defended that play. It was one of the 3 worst plays I have ever seen behind Bertuzzi and McSorely.

You obviously never saw the hit Dale Hunter delivered on Pierre Turgeon.

Nope, prior to the internet boom I only watched Pens hockey because they were my home team.

I haven't seen the hit, but from what I hear, it was cheap and dirty. It's a shame that an old score had to be settled that way. It seems both teams are guilty of something, let's hope they can realize that they're all still family men working for a living playing the game they love and try their best to put this ugly situation behind them. If not, settle it like men. As I said in an earlier post, theirs an accepted way of settling these things. A way that the players, coaches, and owners accept as standing up for themselves without trying to outright injure each other. Pick a few players on each team, drop the gloves, and get it over with. It would be a shame to see a player suffer an injury that could affect, or maybe even end, his career
