This he was talking about your clip Mike....

Nothing significant last night, just Hartnell being Hartnell IMO....

Wizzer imitates Sean Avery's mother....

:-):-)

:-) I watched almost the entire game, and I'm trying to think when Hartnell was being Hartnell (don't get me wrong, I know exactly the type of stuff you're talking about - being an agitator). I know he tried to follow up a rebound and skated recklessly into the net...is that what you're talking about?

The one play I couldn't figure out was the Interference/Unsportsmanlike concurrent penalties with Carter and Anderson. I understand the call as it was a bit of both, but why in the world did they let the play continue and then allow the draw in the Flyers defensive zone? If they were concurrent minors, the draw should have been either at the end of the penalties or the neutral zone. Could have been a big factor. :-)

It was not just the flying through Anderson. He was doing stuff that seemed to get my attention all night. Nothing huge, just little stuff that I would think….what a douche. My original comment was actually after he ran someone at the net after the whistle. Don’t remember who it was, but they didn’t appear to be near enough to Bobrovsky to get his panties in a bunch.

I have no idea what happened with the Interference/unsportsmanship…. I was all ready to go on the powerplay & what would most likely turn into a 6-4 and then they open the door in the Avs penalty box…. I never did see the replay, I was a little agitated....

Yes….why no whistle, letting Anderson go to the bench…??? It was odd….

Pretty funny stuff. Avery isn't the most popular player in the league (with other players that is).

That made my day today since work blows today. No pun intended :-)

Nice one Andrew:-)

lets see what the NHL does about that lil gesture done towards avery. everyone flew off the deepend when avery made his comments. granted he shouldnt have said what he said, where he said it, but any man would have said that in his shoes. alot of people including his current coach said there is no place for avery in hockey. as a professional athlete there is no place for what either of them did. but you wont hear much about disciplinary actions cuz this was done by wiezwho? i watched this game yesterday cuz i am a life long rangers fan and i couldnt believe i had seen what weiznewski did.

Wiz will get a suspension, a Blackhawks defenseman got one for a less-offensive gesture during the preseason.

But saying Avery said what "any man would have said that in his shoes" is bull. I wouldn't have, nor would most of the hockey guys on this thread, but we all have a ton more class than Avery does. :-)

Niklas Hjalmarsson suspended for two

Suspension makes sense to me...it was an ugly hit but no intent to injure and Hjalmarsson doesn't have a history of being a dirty player.

An unfortunate event that sometimes just happens, hopefully Pominville will make a full recovery.

Not extremely confident with the Avs going into Detroit who has been waiting for them....

Going to go downstairs, find a nice smoke, head outside and watch through the glass. GO AVS!

I just watched it on youtube. The first angle they showed (where you could see both players' faces) looked a lot dirtier than the angle from behind where you could see he didn't raise his elbow. Definitely a suspendable hit though, IMHO.

Two games means Hjalmarsson's first game back will be Saturday against...the Sabres. That will be an interesting game to see. I'll be watching baseball though...someone (cough - Tom :-)) let us know if there is any retribution.

Nice first for the Avs, minus giving up that quick first goal.....

Go Avs!

I didn't think Nik would get more than 1 game, I know he fely bad about the injury. I heard Sabres coach Ruff say he knows that Nik isn't that kind of player, so I don't look for anything but clean, hard checks by the Sabres on him on Saturday.

Yipper!

The link to the video of Avery getting 'blown off' was in the Smiley :-)

Click the Smiley. Guess I shouldn't have hidden it so well huh? Its a slightly different angle than the other posted here, and better quality.

I saw that hit on youtube. IMO it was a dirty hit. The victim didn't have the puck, nor was he even near it. He was hit from behind. The angle Niklas Hjalmarsson may not have a history of this kind of play but it was pretty bad.
