Big Buff runs Neuvirth

[dash]

Gotta like Erskine going right after him...

Rep goes to Erskine!

Best 2 mins for roughing ever.

I dont think it was that bad

Neuvirth flopped like an asshole, but Buff (as you see at 1:05) did kinda throw himself in him.

Obviously I'm biased (and pretty sure you are as well), but from what I saw, he could have completely avoided him. Live watching the game, I though Carlson had pushed him, but the replay shows otherwise. I think the 5 for charging was warranted

Don't really see how you can see Neuvirth flopping. He got hit by a 260 pound guy in Byufflign at pretty high speed. You're not going to just stay up when you get hit in the leg (with most of his wieght on that leg) while you're unbalanced to begin with on skates. Maybe a sold it a tiny bit, but he was on his way down no matter what

Erskine did good

Attay boy, Erskine. At regular speed, it looked like incidental contact. Slowed down from the other angle, Buff could have easily avoided it. Don't tell me John Carlson is manhandling that fat bastard around the crease.

Buff stuck out his foot to get a piece of him, but Neuvirth floooooopped. He went down like he was shot by a shotgun. I don't think that was worth a 5 minute major, but certainly a penalty. Props to Erskine for protecting though, worthy of it.

Just took a second look and I didn't realize that he kinda tripped over the pipe too. So no flop.

for me it was the way he just stayed down like he was dead.

 

[Eddie_Shack]

It looked like he sold it to me, but in my book if you are intentionally running a goalie you should expect that. Stay the fuck away from the goalie, and don't give him an opportunity to Hasek it up out there.

Sold it, sure, but flopped, no

eh, same thing IMO, going down and staying down more than what actually occured.

[ritari330]

Sold it by staying down longer, but not the fall itself. Flopping, to me, would be the fall itself and/or staying down to get a larger penalty. If any of that makes sense

I'm sure glad that fucking pile of shit is in the east.
Hop he rots there.
