I agree Eager could calm down a bit, but I don't think the shit talking to Louongo was bad. If you watch the replay, Lou wouldn't let his leg go, and Eager leaned down to say something. Id go as far to say pretty Busch League move by Lou.

:confused2:

he takes a follow through elbow to the mask from Eager on that play and if i were him i would hold on to the leg too ... who knows if that cinder block head is gonna do a skate stomp

actually just looked at the replay

tell me where he holds his leg?

watch it again man. wow open the eyes on this one. I just rewatched it and lou didnt touch his legs Lous arms were fanned out. Eager is DOWN 7-3 you dont do that. THAT is Busch League. so is snowing the goalie which I see San jose started to do in this game.

bullshit. if that's the case, don't you think you'd see eager try to pull his leg up a little bit? eager moved towards Lou, not away from him.
eager himself after the game just said about he trash talking (sarcastically, of course) "I scored on him, I was excited"


tale of the tape, fwiw
Marleau 6'2, 220lbs
Bieksa 6'1, 198lbs

Marleau is a goon

Size means nothing when it come to going toe to toe for the most part. Especially on the ice. It is all about your pillars of strength. If you can keep your balance, and really plant your feet, you'll hit harder.

Same goes on the ground. Just gotta know how to maneuver.

I am probably in the minority here but I wasn't impressed at all by Marleau's fight. He just stood there and took it. Besides that I didn't notice an effect on the team. Maybe they like him better? Maybe Clowe will finally add him as a facebook friend? But it didn't seem to have much of an effect on the game.

I guess the best thing it did was take Bieska off the ice for five minutes.

LMAO @ Roenicks comments after that period. He was hopping on Marleau's dick big time. Claiming that could very well possibly be the turning point in the series for the Sharks. He got owned, badly.

wonder what he said at the final buzzer? JR is something. maybe its time to let him go the way of the ignored.

Where the fuck is Milbury. Roenick is retarded. I know everyone hates Milbury.

I only like Milbury with a shoe in his hand in teh stands. that and when he verbally beats down eric francis on the hot stove.

that's the big thing.... it could have revved up the team*, and they rally to show as much guts as Marleau (he had to know he was over matched, right? right??). Instead eager turns it into a monkey show, and McLellan for some reason decides to feed that by putting the lunatic out on the ice against the Sedins (really? you WANT that matchup in a close game?). It was a wasted beatdown, and I would put a lot of that blame on McLellan.






*(much like the team should be inspired by Thornton's play)

I think he may not be as good of a coach as I was hoping. Carlyle out coached him in regards to line matching a couple years ago and TMac only seems to be able to win series where the Sharks are the higher seed. He has made some head scratching decisions this playoff as well (bench Husky pants and put Braun in already).

If he can't get his team pumped up to make this series competitive, Wilson may shorten his leash.

Mcrimmon left town. Can we have Todd back?

Lol... Grapes is a over-the-top whacko at times but sometimes he's a pretty smart hockey analyst. I agree with his pet peeve about D-men tipping pucks and screening goalies. Either get out there and block it or get out of the way. Hamhuis and White on either side last night, a perfect example.

At least in that clip, he's wearing a "normal" suit. My wife thinks he shops for fabric at the retro furniture upholstery store sometimes.

Agreed, Stan Jonathan was only about 5'8 or 5'9 and he was feared by a lot of bigger guys. Tie Domi went toe to toe with Bob Probert lots of times and there were some classic tilts.

Reminds me of a story when I was a kid. Me and my best friend were stick boys for the local senior team and we had a mid-summer exhibition game in Nelson BC one year. Pat Price was a Nelson boy and an enforcer in the NHL and came home to play the game. Started running guys and acting all tough. We had a guy on our team named Hugh Christian. He was 5'8 and about 180# but really hard nosed and strong. He took the 6'2, 200+ Price to the woodshed and completely humiliated him. Price didn't even come back out for the third period, if I remember correctly. (It was almost 40 years ago)
