Rinaldo doing a great job killing his own penalties

Well..it was late, it was from behind and he left his feet..
Im thinking a 2-3 game suspension.

I agree with you also on the emotion part but RInaldo needs to be smarter then that.
- opeth_pa

it was a dirty hit. and not one that i like being in the game.

but it wasnt worse than some of the poop the league only gives out a game or two for.

5 , a game and a suspension for that hit?

I want to give him the benefit of the doubt..I really do..The flyers need some nasty on their team...that is just horrible on his part.

The worst part is now G and J are going to be marked targets .
- opeth_pa

exactly.

I've defended Rinaldo for years, it seems ... mostly because he's one of the few guys who is consistently physical. But I'm done with him. The sooner he's off the team the better.

Wow, PIT really can't beat us

Before his penalty, Rinaldo had more TOI than Jake Voracek
- Jsaquella

end of 1st and he still has more ice time, with 7 min of penalties. best coaching strategy I've seen in ages

See, that's why you can't play this guy -- yeah, he tries hard. And he'll make plays from time to time.

But you can't have a guy like that in your lineup. Because he will not make enough plays to offset the stupid he brings.

This guy takes a five-minute major when you're the worst (frank)ing penalty killing team in the last 20 years.

You know why you do that? Because you're not smart enough to play this game

You're preaching to the choir.

I have a hard time comparing Rinaldo to Carcillo. Carcillo is an actual Douchebag.
- SuperSchennBros

yea but he also is an actual hockey player

hardly shoulder on shoulder hit not rinaldo's fault letang is made of glass

you're only embarrassing yourself, you know.

TOI leaders after one:
MDZ 7:35
Manning 7:22

were the shots 17 - 3?

Rinaldo's five minute major hit against the hated Letang creates a solid penalty kill that gains momentum for this team against the league's best in Malkin and Crosby.

what an asshat.

That's the smell of shutout hockey boys.

Shhh... you'll scare it away

Rinaldo is an actual nice guy away from the rink. Carcillo isn't.

He's going to get more than two, I'd wager. Dangerous hit, left his feet. The only thing he has going for him is that the head was not the principal point of contact (although Letang's head did carom off the partition).

Well..it was late, it was from behind and he left his feet..

Repeat offender, if Letang is out for awhile, Zac's getting 6-10

It's Rinaldos last game as a flyer...

I was arguing with fools the other day. Rinaldo brings intangibles, heart, hustle etc...

He's a complete POS that has no business in the NHL
- PLindbergh31

he's (frank)ing useless. i want him off the team, but no the flyers can't get out of their own way and gave him an early undeserved extension. (frank)ing great.

agreed ... and I'm okay with that.

I used to look up the ice time thing last playoffs and early this season. Just couldn't do it anymore.
