Oops Neal did it again

[Winged_Wheel88]

I'll admit when he was on the trade block I really wanted the Flyers to pursue him after all he is a very good & physical player. However after seeing him play more for the Pens he like Malkin is very prone to losing his temper and doing really stupid and dangerous things. He tends to head hunt though which is not only stupid and dangerous but unacceptable. I think he needs a lengthy suspension to get the point across 10+, but we all know that won't happen so I'm thinking it's either 2 or nothing.

Holy shit, it's a crosscheck to the face. Fuck him. I hope they throw the book at him.

He's not getting anything, as discussed above.

I'm assuming he was given a penalty on the play and the Wings scored two seconds after he left the box, but that's just ridiculous. I see Legwand got a five minute major for his infraction. If you're going to give him five for that, Neal should've at least gotten the same.

 

[Maverick426h]

Either way, fuck the Penguins. I hope we see you in the Metro finals, where you'll promptly get spanked.

Legwand got 5 with 3 minutes left to go in regulation in a tie game.

It's all the way around.

Maybe Kneel had a suspension in the bank?

Quite frankly, it worked out in the end, didn't it? The paltry two minute Neal penalty essentially resulted in a goal for the Wings and the Pens failed to score on the lengthy five minute Legwand penalty, then the Wings won with a fraction of a second remaining.

Neal and Legwand each received $5,000 fines

Regardless of who the Pens play in whichever round in the playoffs, at some point they will get spanked.

Maybe Kneel made a deposit in Shanny/Bettman's spermbank?

You might be on to something here.

No way another Penguins player got away with a suspend-able offense?

I just do not believe it to be true.

I've always been a fan of the paltry fine slot on the Wheel.

That's the slot directly opposite "Overly harsh suspension to send a message", right?

I'm pretty sure that slot only exists on the preseason wheel - the regular season and post season wheel have nothing of the sort.

Excellent point.

You are forgetting the "Goddamnit Torres!!" slot.

At this point Torres has earned his own wheel, unfortunately it is in the fort the wheel the NHL has said would be used on everyone from the get go. Confusing I know...

We finally get rid of one cancer (Cooke) and another steps it up to take his place. This team is undisciplined and under-performing to their talent level, which go hand-in-hand. It all starts and ends with the coach.
