Give the guy a break! Hasn't an elderly person in your life ever said something embarrassing?

Challenged to a fight you mean? At what point? Because the B's were killing the Habs, and there's no reason to fight if you're up by 3 or 4.

Yeah but when you say what he said you should man up and answer for it.

He was challenged in the 2nd I think before it was out of hand

Has Recchi ever been in a fight? I don't see him starting now.

 

[beantownmaniac]

It could be worse. He could be elbowing players in the head and then say that wasn't his intent.

I am assuming this is for Cooke. He has had his ass kicked plenty for running his mouth and just being Cooke

Who is that announcer on the first one, Harry Carey?

 

[ELYEAH82]

Keep in mind I dont dislike Recchi in the least, I just thought he should have answered for his comments on a guy with a broken neck and concussion

He sure made it sound like that was a pretty awesome fight didnt he

Yeah, if I didn't have the visual, I would have bought it, too.

 

[ELYEAH82]

He had me believe a punch was landed even when I did watch it...

 

[jstewismybastardson]

i like how montreal redirected there bad intentions towards recchi after he chirped ... lol

remember Chara?

Recchi is now tied with Coffey for 12th all time in points. He's not paid to fight. He's paid to make plays & put the puck in the net.

Then he shouldnt be making comments about Montreal lying about a guy with a severe concussion and broken neck. Sorry but he shouldnt get a pass for those comments, and to turtle when the check was due is a p-ssy move

 

[SLY]

I didn't listen to his comments, but from what I've read he made comments stating that Montreal hyped the whole situation up, not so much that there was any faking going on. And when the team is announcing he may return for the playoffs, who didn't think what Recchi did? Why should that comment warrant a mandatory fight? Oh, that's right, Cooke is on your team.

 

[TOX1]

Yeah but when you say what he said you should man up and answer for it.

I completely agree E.

He's one of favs, but.......put up or shut up Mark!

"Well, I mean, he does have a fractured vertebra but the concussion was really a nonfactor. Maybe a day he felt it and then he was fine a couple days later, and I believe, yeah, they were trying to get Zdeno suspended and they embellished it a little bit," Recchi said Wednesday on the radio. "I guess in terms of that side, you have to look at it and I guess they were trying to do what they could to get him suspended."

Followed by...

"In 22 years, I've respected all my teammates, all the players I play against. My record has shown that for 22 years, and I took the pressure off of Zee for one day. I'm a big boy; I can handle it. I have nothing but great things to say about the Montreal organization; I had five great years there. And it's still an unfortunate situation it all happened. We all hope Max gets a full recovery here soon and we know he's well on his way. And like I said, this is something that I believe in 22 years I've been very respectful to players and opponents throughout. So that should be the end of it, really."

I'm sorry, I don't see your case? Why should a 43 year old man have to throw down for making a respectful statement? I don't believe that statement warrants any physical reprocussions, he made his case on the ice. 7-0.

 

[ELYEAH82]

He isnt a doctor, and shouldnt be talking about a player or team embelleshing an injury following that horrific hit. It isnt his place to make these types of comments and if he does he should answer for it.
