I just watched the hi-lights of the game between Columbus and LA, and lo and behold, some guy from Columbus steered Drew Doughty right into the same style of partition that Chara steered Pacioretty into.  Guess what? Even though Doughty hobbled off the ice holding his mouth, no penalty was called!  I guess those penalties are reserved for 6ft 5 or taller?  or is it because the 5 mph difference in the speed between Pacioretty and Doughty means that the guy hitting Pacioretty is a criminal and the guy hitting Doughty is a saint because Pacioretty's own speed caused him to get a broken neck while Doughty's lack of speed saved him?  I guess perspective is everything.

....that and no hands to doughty`s head

Bulls*it.  Your only real complaint here is that it happened to a Montreal player.  I bring up the same scenario in a different game between two different players and you slough it off as though it's meaningless.  Get off your soapbox because you just lost your right to a complaint.

but i am not on a soapbox
and i have not lost my right to complaining 

THE NUMBERS ARE BS, DUE TO THE FOLLOWING



When they calculate the hours lost due to concussion
they don't count anyone who was concussed where there was no suspension
....like Max or Crosby ....


so however many hours they lost will not be added in
.... then they tell us penalties causing lost time due to concussion is down from last year

.... way to skew the data!



So, in essence, since they leave out certain numbers with their calculations,
their number results end up being lies.

my complaint is with no suspension....same thing happened to crosby...."ooops didn`t mean it"....funny how steckel got traded at the deadline....and i lost my right...lol...who do u think u r?.....i didnt say it was meaningless....it wasnt even the same type of turnbuckle.....stanchion mansion....how do u think it got the name tunbuckle smart guy

The real problem is that there are too many dirty hits and not enough suspensions for them. Remember that open ice blindside hit that Mike Richards put on that Booth player a couple of years ago? Richards got a 5 minute major and a game misconduct. No suspension, no fine. I'm a Flyers fan and I even thought that Richards should have been at least fined.

From SAK in the Bruins thread...

Listen to haw mad the Habs fan got at Hal Gill with a similar check.

The Habs used it as a HIGHLIGHT of the game on their own website! Frickin hypocrites.

I was wondering when one of my nemesis would chime in....thanks SAK!

C'mon zinnerpeg...where's the outrage over Matt Cooke's latest act? Oh wait, it was a Ranger, not a Canadien, so we probably won't hear anything from you.
