GDT: Canucks at Bruins | 1pm ET | 1/7 | on NHLN

[Eddie_Shack]

It doesn't matter, the Bruins and Canucks are both whining bitch hacks compared to the Wings...


/let's hit 1000!!

1000!

You son of a bitch!

Hey, we're a few posts away from the Mike Gartner.

/let's hit 1000!!

well Marshmont has a phone hearing on Monday scheduled with Shanaban, so we can all get riled up again when that verdict comes down.

- 3 games, and he has to stand (no pads) in front of a Sami Salo slapshot when Sami is feeling better.

just trying to keep this thread rolling along... Bruins’ Brad Marchand’s claim that he was just protecting himself is nonsense


If we run out of steam, we can also discuss Thornton trying to engage Weise in a fight, very shortly after Weise had already fought Horton.
one of those rules of 'the code'... if a guy has fought in the period, you don't ask him to go again.
not now... just if the thread slows down we can get to this.

Six guys jumped him when he swung at Blowrrows. I'm pretty sure the codes for fighting were out the door at that point.

AV pipes in...

the suggestion by Bruins coach Claude Julien that Marchand was trying to protect himself from being hit in the corner boards by Salo late in the second period of a 4-3 Canucks triumph set Vigneault off.

“That’s a stupid comment,” said the Canucks coach. “What Marchand did there, you could end a player’s career doing that and I’ve never seen Sami Salo take a run at any player in the NHL. All I’ve seen Sami Salo do is play with integrity and play the right way.

“Marchand—this is just my feeling on this—some day he’s going to get it. Somebody is going to say enough is enough and they’re going to hurt the kid, because he plays to hurt players and in my mind if the league doesn’t take care of it, somebody else will.

“Sometimes it takes the league time to figure things out and there’s a difference between a good hip check when the player is coming down on you one-on-one with the puck and what we saw Marchand do with his definite attempt to injure. Something needs to happen.”

Maybe Corey Perry could give it to him. He was going to give it to Datsyuk, but that didn't work out so well for him.

Why not Burrows? The league could use a little more rat-on-rat action.

From what I recall, the rule is to wait two periods after he fights, and then break his neck.

Hey, don't forget Samuelsson. He's gonna get it too.

that was when Weise and Horton paired off.
two shifts later, Thornton tries to get Weise to go again.
Thornton is a legit fighter. he should know better.


we can't win, can we. If no one steps in, we are pussies... if everyone piles on, we are pussies too.
make up your mind.

Canucks might be pussies. Bruins might be assholes. Pretty soon some dick is going to come along. And sure, dicks fuck pussies, but dicks also fuck assholes!!

Hopefully that's some big mean Detroit dick steaming your way! Wait, I didn't like the way that sounded...

On the Marchand hit: Sami didn't have the puck, so there is no excuse for the hit. And, as stated, Sami wouldn't run a fly.

 

[puckhead]

target = knee

 

[DaBoltsNIsles]

Sorry not buying that one. Sounds like a ploy to get Marchand suspended which I may add would not surprise me.

I don't buy it either. Salo wasn't hit anywhere near the head. Then again I don't even think what Marchand did was a penalty, but that's obviously just me.

But he landed on the back of his head...I can definitely see a possible concussion from that type of jarring impact.

Check the 1 minute mark of this vid and tell me what slams on the ice...

You don't need to receive a direct shot to the head in order to sustain a concussion. That's a moot point however, because it looked to me like Salo's head hit the ice pretty hard.

Alright, now this is just piling on...
