I think you said it fine, for some reason I replied without reading the whole thread...

I hope Neal gets the message. He definitely crosses the line on occasion.

Get a rope!!



It's the word cap.

Ding, ding, ding! Somebody had a subscription to Highlights magazine as a kid. ;)

Neal only got 5 games, and not more, because they determined that he only hit Marchand in the head by a nose.

Do you guy's think Kneel's suspension was only 5 games partly because you can't tell 100% for sure if he did it on purpose?

It looks like about a 95% likelihood he kneew exactly what he was doing, but maybe the cap of 5 games is appropriate giving that you can't be completely sure of his shintentions. I think that was probably a key factor here.

Seriously?

His skate angle changed to make sure he made contact. What exactly are you watching?

Don't be so combative. Eloco's convinced Neal did it on purpose, he's just saying there's enough for appeal lawyers to challenge the suspension with.

He is a lawyer, after all, and knows how they operate.

Thank God, Jeremy Roenick threw his :2cents: in.

Only as Roenick could.
The other intermission discussion was about Orpik not fighting, I don't have the video but it was funny.
Jones said he would not drop the gloves after giving a clean hit and and in great Roenick fashion he agreed with Byslma that for hit you shouldn't drop but the gloves but if someone challenges you, you should? HUH?

Not sure if he meant just he would but makes no sense...

"I would have done the same thing, but you can't."

^This.

Like I said - there is not an overt act. Though it's pretty hard to take several strides and not at least notice a full grown man (or partially grown in this case ;) ) laying in front of you on the ice.

But I gotta stay on BF4L's good side. He's going to someday learn me how to survive the apocalypse. :)
