FTFY

I just hope that, if we lose to the Rangers, they play Glass and McIlrath late in the game and tell them to try to steamroll Ghost and Giroux constantly, because the sole reason for hitting is to hurt people (as opposed to separating them from the puck) because that's how you play hockey, regardless of game situations.

HIDDUM!!!

Not great, how about a little fun rivalry stoking?

ugh. I can just see that now. Rangers player suspended for some type of dirty hit on a flyers player. Ohhhhh the outrage.

Yes, and if the Rangers are up 10-0, their sole interests should be to try to destroy and hospitalize Giroux and Ghost, right? Because why hit if you're not gonna destroy someone? That's not gonna get you on the highlight reel.

I hate to be a wet blanket but we beat the Buffalo Sabers last night.

they should wear it like a badge of honor considering how much they've struggled with bad teams

Yikes...thought I saw an R in there that would have made things quite...weird.

Must you ruin my fun funmaster? Happy Friday everyone!

my bad. consider my comment rescinded. (i'm not actually going to delete the comment though)

It's because players simply have no respect for each other anymore. As "violent" as the 70's and early 80's were, players did not intentionally try and head shot each other. And if they did, they got their ass kicked and their teammates would often just stand and watch.

I guess if the league would start handing out real punishments to repeat offenders, such as full season suspensions, maybe this kind of crap would stop. However, the blame still lies 100% on the players.

I think a lot of the care for other peoples well being also comes in from the equipment of today. It's like the players are wearing a full set of plate armor as they play. Find a way to make the equipment safe for the player being hit by a pick but also soft enough so as not to be able to knock someone's brain onto the ice and I think we'd see a better game.

I know that. I love capitalism. But I can still hate the inevitable tarting up of the jerseys that we will no doubt see.

There is no way Simmonds backs down from that fight though
- funmaster18

I find it utterly ridiculous that Simmonds should have to answer to anything. He was attempting to throw a CLEAN check and McDonagh attempted to take his head off with a crosscheck to the head. I mean, he didn't just put his stick up to protect himself from a CLEAN check, he extended his arms. So Simmonds took jab at him...something that happens how many times a game? Does Glass have an issue at all with an extended crosscheck to the head? (frank) Glass

Can I ask why everyone feels that just because it is 5-1 that Gudas shouldn't have hit him?

If Weal was motoring down the ice would Bogosian not him because it is 5-1?

I hate the idea that one team has to lessen their play because the other team is trailing.
- J35Bacher

I just don't like giving them a PP when we didn't have to. The Pk did really well last night, but it's as fragile as an egg.
