Ongoing NHL thread - Part deux

Just came here to post the same video, higgy. Happy Thanksgiving Derek!

Nice, late hit and Pierre is blaming Stepan. Not that he couldn't have protected himself better.

and the Bruins got the powerplay, which, of course, they scored on...

Don't look now, but the Bruins have won 5 in a row and are the hottest team in hockey.

I really hate the "didn't protect himself" argument on what are already illegal hits. There's a reason you're not allowed to hit a player in a vulnerable or unsuspecting (aka no puck) position. If a guy has the puck, isn't paying attention, and gets hit hard, resulting in injury...okay, that's on them. Not every hit that results in an injury is illegal. But when an illegal hit results in injury, that is fully on whomever levied the hit. Just like the Maatta hit that I'm not over. If your hit is illegal and irresponsible, than it's fully on your head if the player gets hurt.

Am I the only one who sees E.Staal's career trajectory playing out a lot like Vinny Lecavalier?

That's a very apt comparison. Came in blazing, Cup winner by 21, a few solid seasons afterwards...and then a whole lot of nothing. I'm still wondering what the hell happened to Jordan Staal when he went to Carolina. Maybe I'm inherently biased because I went from hearing his name often to watching him play about three times a year...but is he even playing?

The Bud Holloway era begins!

Wife swearing up a storm
Ducks leading 2-0 vs Hawks
Getzlaf takes a dumb penalty with 2:07 leftWife stats swearing.
Getzlaf goes to the dressing room, wife gets pissed that he leaves
She says it's over Hawks will come back and win.
I say they are down 2. No way
Hawks score one
Hawks score two
Hawks score 3
Fuck is heard quietly in the house

Dubinsky is still a giant piece of shit.

 

[higgyfan4]

jeez

 

[Darkstone42]

This is the whole of it.

 

[pixburgher66]

Yeah...giant piece of shit. Sid isn't engaging at all, this pisses him off, so crosscheck to the neck, break stick on him while down, stand demeaningly over top of him in pain. Only thing missing was him spitting on him, basically.

 

[pixburgher66]

How...how is anyone so deluded that they watch that and think it's unintentional?! Unintentional is when you are careless and high stick a guy. Cross checking a guy in the neck and subsequently cross checking him in the ribs is not a whoopsie.

 

[higgyfan4]

This league is a joke...

Report: Likely no suspension for Matt Beleskey's hit on Derek Stepan

 

[pixburgher66]

Until this mentality goes away in NHL circles, it won't stop.

Backhand no look saucer pass by daniel sedin through oduyas legs and over his stick blade on the tape to henrik who scores

And oduya looks to the sky and says "oh fuck off"

Lol need that gif

 

[jstewismybastardson]

Close up of oduyas face on sportsnet was classic but this will do
