Are you serious on that comment about the hit Johnny? I need to be 100% clear

The way I am looking at it, he doesn't lead with his elbow, he comes in with the shoulder, and he hits his chest. I think that's clear from that angle, but with the Prust hit in game 3, they are going to closely look at the hit and they will suspend him and I understand that. They're just going to be fair about it, but I do think the 10 minute misconduct and 5 minute major were a bit excessive, especially when Prust walked off the ice with a clean slate and no penalty. You're gonna make calls like that, make it fair.

Prust should have been kicked from game 3 for the hit, especially if Moore was in game 5. Albeit, you can't go back in the past and change it, all i'm asking for is consistency.

 

[Johnnydollaz89]

And yes, I now get that i'm gonna looked at as a big homer or an asshole for speaking my mind on the hit, so i'm ready for all remarks and criticism towards me.

My question is simple

Do you think moores but was as dirty as prusts

Yes or no?

Good luck coming into MSG in an elimination game and coming out on top. This series is over on Thursday. Habs will be lucky to get 1 past Hank tomorrow night. Let the Habs players keep talking, once again, you trail 3-2 in the series. One bad game from Hank doesn't mean shit.

Better watch what you wish for. Remember when the Rangers were down 3-1 to the Pens you wished that they would just end the embarrassment and then the Rangers came back. Now you are up 3-2 and stating it is over on Thursday you might have jinxed it.

As Therrien said ''It's a hockey hit'' i'll leave it at that

That series is the main reason I am his confident in them.

Hey, whatever floats your boat.

Don't see why this effects the decision at all.

New York radio people, for you

You didn't need to include the word "radio" there.

BTW as for the Moore hit - I don't care what anyone thinks of it , that hit was long overdue and Moore got the right guy. If Habs fans have a problem with it too damn bad. When Prust did that to Stepan he should have been dismembered w/in 5 seconds but the Rangers let it go. Dorsett's attempt was honorable but worthless. Payback boys simple as that. Don't like it then don't ask for it. I personally enjoyed watching Weise searching for his head while being helped off the ice. Fuck'em

This is the part I don't get. So, essentially you are saying you liked the hit because it was retaliatory which then makes it pre-meditated. And you still have a hard time coming up with what the difference is between the hits.

The hockey world generally agrees that if the puck was still on Stepan's stick, the Prust hit isn't even a penalty, the kind of hit Scott Stevens made a career out of. But the puck was long gone. So it was late and reckless. Unnecessary. And by definition, dangerous. Earned suspension.

Even if Weise still had the puck, Moore took several steps and hit a guy from behind/the side and went straight at the head. Even if Weise still had the puck, it's a dangerous hit. And there is no question by the replays that Moore intended to hit to hurt. Saying it was "retribution" makes it worse. In the heat of the moment, it's a stupid play. If the player sat there planning it, or worse yet was *told* to go do it...

Which is what it sounds to me like you are condoning. Pre-meditated attack.

And then you go absolutely apeshit when someone points out the coincidence of people landing on top of opponent goalies, particularly ones playing well.

The Rangers are righteous and would never do something of the sort. But every other team in the league resorts to these tactics and the Righteous Rangers are justified in fighting back. That about sum it up? :rollseyes:

So now all NY'ers are morons? :rollseyes:

The Canadiens are really out for blood now!

Despite his musical vow to never surrender, Corey Hart is indeed relenting. And it’s the Canadiens who are forcing him to stand aside.

The Montreal native, best-known for 1980s’ hits such as “Sunglasses at Night” and “Never Surrender” had a gala farewell concert scheduled for the Bell Centre this Saturday, his proclaimed last stadium show ever on his 52nd birthday.

But the possibility the Habs will need the arena if they force a Game 7 in the Eastern Conference final, has prompted the performer to reluctantly re-book. The new show will be played June 3.

I don't believe this was premeditated but let's say it was. You ask do I condone this type retaliation and the answer is absolutely with no apologies. I don't give a damn where the puck was in either instance. Prust was trying to hurt Stepan and I don't see how that is even debatable. The fact he hit him so late is all we need to know. Claiming the Prust hit would have been legal if Stepan had the puck is foolish. Stepan didn't have the puck and Prust tried to decapitate him period. Therefore I say an eye for an eye. What Moore did was justified , necessary and I couldn't be more satisfied. That answer your questions ?

Well you both hinted at it. Good to know a handful of people sum up the rest of the fan base and population.

I'm not gonna even comment on the rest. I've made my point earlier on, not gonna sit here and repeat myself and continue to defend myself for my views over and over again.
