I'd rather the NHL rid itself of Kaleta/Gudas/Rinaldo/Neil type players. If your only role is to go out and try to hit unsuspecting/prone players are hard as possible, you really shouldn't be in the NHL.

Here is the video from Gudas' latest hit

Although Farnham sold it, it was just plain stupid (not sure if it was "stupid and dumb") and 100% unnecessary. I'm done with him.

Not sure. I'd have no problem with him being suspended, as he's just a detriment to the team at this point. I don't think the hit was all that bad (again, Farnham sold it and didn't miss a shift) but it was just plain stupid.

I think they were referring to the NFL cap.

Might be what it was .

Like Kaleta's headbutts.

Kaleta can't be called up...or so I thought, anyway.

ATM no he can't . He doesn't have a Sabres contract. Just a Amerks contract in the AHL

I believe the first sentence.

I don't believe the second sentence.

You're only hitting .500.

He must have nude pics of Bettman.

Kaletta got a bad rap and shold not be compared to those clowns. It was stunning to watch him play on the same team as Ott. Ott would regularly do things worse than Kaletta ever did and somehow was never put into that category.

There are 3 sentences in there.

Give him an alumni sweater and have him hang out around the FNC. Local guy. Likable person.

Just keep him off the ice. They've moved on.

The hit was not terrible, but it was nowhere near the puck and definitely a penalty.

I dont understand how Gudas argues that it shouldn't be a penalty. It was painfully obvious that it was at least interference, roughing, etc etc.

Actually there are two sentences and one descriptive phrase with neither a subject nor a verb.

But I get your point.

His hits were fine. It was his three headbutts in two years that made him dirty.

- Suspended 4 games for head-butting in 11/12
- Suspended 5 games for boarding in 12/13
- Suspended 10 games for hit to the head in 13/14

I know he's a local guy and a fan favorite, and he's not the dirtiest player in the league (see: Rinaldo, Zac for that). But to make him out as some saint who doesn't have his share of dirty/cheap plays is just wrong.

This is a reasonable post.

You do not need a subject and verb to make a sentence.

Person 1 :"Go."
Person 2: "No."

Still, I do think Farnham sold it. He was crumpled in a heap, but able to get off on his own power and looked fine on his next shift. But it was a stupid/dirty hit that was, again, completely unnecessary.

No.

(The above response relates only to our grammatical disagreement, and is not a complete sentence, but for the sake of reasonableness, I will surrender.)

I didn't say that he was the dirtiest player or that he should be on the team. I didn't think he deserved many of the suspensions that he got and I saw far worse from Ott in the time he was here. Rob Ray was a rat (especially early in his career) and for some reason he is celebrated.

I liked Rob Ray. Granted, I never saw him play regularly (pre-internet days), but from what I remember, he was more of a fighter than a dirty player. Although one could argue he was a dirty fighter by the tie down tactic.

No.

Well, okay, it's not a complete sentence, as it has an implied subject and predicate. "You must go," and "I will not go," would be the full sentences.

Still, I'm right, because internet wins/hockeybuzz standards apply. I will stand my ground and refuse to alter my stance until I can successfully shift the topic of debate until I win.

- ImThatGuy

Because one of the dirtiest players of all time is in charge of that stuff...
