The Savard incident was a blind side head shot issued by a known cheap shot artist, not the same thing.

I meant showing some damn respect for the injured player. You know the guy who could have been paralyzed and whos carrer may be over? Not posting video clips trying to say well he has boarded someone so whats the big deal hes not an angel etc. Its about showing some compassion. The same you would expect for Savard. This appears to have been a complex request for some as you actually had to read the post.

As to Savard hit, Cooke is a POS certainly, but at the time of the hit it was 100% legal. Some people think this was every bit as dirty and even worse showing a disregard for fellow players safety. Now understanding this would require an open mind so it may be lost on some.

Edit:
Have talked at the rink with some of the guys. Opinion os pretty split. I see the hockey play argument, no ones arguing that. Some of us just think that arm pushing the head and the history looks like he knew and had intent

Yeah your right, hockey, might be to rough of a game for some people?
Badminton might be a better game to follow?

Savard should have taken up badminton I guess.

ouch!

Savards career is over at age 33 he will never be back?

Hey dont blame me. That was a buddy fock pass to the nuetral zone with head down. I just finished my check.

Thanks for the kick in the nuts, Mike....:-) Come on, Stewy only has like 9 goals(12 points) since the trade(11 games)... Shattenkirk has 5 assists to go along with that, or one more than EJ has in his 8 games with the AVS.

I'm not giving up on the trade or the AVS!

I am an Avalanche, Broncos and Jazz fan in professional sports I follow closely.....and as of this writing, I am cheering for teams that are TERRIBLE...

(I have had my day in the sun and multiple Championships from 2 of the 3, in my adult lifetime)

OK, Boys, let's keep it civil, we can disagree and still not take each other's heads off. :-)

*EDIT* Looks like I am a little late with this...but here is the article

Montreal police started a criminal investigation Thursday into the on-ice hit by Boston's Zdeno Chara that left the Canadiens' Max Pacioretty with a severe concussion and cracked vertebra.

Come on....really?:-)

That is ridiculous. They actually had the Police get on the news and ask the public to stop calling the 911 and report the Chara indecent.

Just found that yahoo stream Versus games. Us IP required which is probably never noticed before.

Watching the Bruins-Sabres game right now. Been a pretty good game so far except for a phantom boarding call on Chara.

Nucks @ Sharks is up later tonight, should be a good one!

B's been playing short handed all night lots of phantom calls:-)
Things did get lively at the end of the period :-)

I have lots of friends in Canada, so this is not meant for the 99.9% of normal people there...but there must be some real boobs in Montreal, calling 911. :-)

You know I love yah man. Just saying it already looks bad and may look worse next season. Its like the waling up the morning after and realizing ooooo shiz. Just ask Tom.

Watching the Bs feed also. In and out of the room, but the Commentary has been interesting, of what Ive seen apparently not a single penalty call was good.

As for the Sharks Canucks. Thinking the Sharks wont catch the Wings tonight. The Canucks are playing better Sharks I think are still down Boyle and they played bad the other night. If they come out like that tonight they could be down 0-3 after one.


Yes Tom. That was laser show though.

Edit
Ooo and there French remember that explains a lot no?

LoL on 2-0 after one. Figured it would be 3-0.

Should be a pushback but wonder if it will be enough

Uhhhhhhh wow

Ooooooo damn 2-2

Damn it Eager!

What a game!! :-)

Sad I sold my tickets to tonights game. That was one of the best if not the best game played at the tank this year. Its just to damn hard to go this much with little kids.

Are the Redwings hearing the jaws theme? Theyre coming looks like the Blackhawks are also. Could they fall to 4th or 5th and face the Yotes again? This is getting gooooooood. I guess the Hawks wont be golfing like you thought they might.

Tom I took Micah on tuesday was great fun hes making it the whole game now. Little man had everyone around us laughing with his expert opinions. He still thinks they need to camp the net like he does cause thats how you get goals. :-)

I wish I could see Micah play.....hopefully someday.

I no longer think the Hawks will be golfing...actually I think if Crawford keeps playing the way he has, they have a good a shot as anyone in the West. Maybe there are a couple of lines as good as Toews/Kane/Sharp right now, but I doubt there is one better.

Sharks look really good, Wings are always in it, Canucks have so many weapons (and one Achilles heel, hopefully), and a few other teams are right in the mix. I know I will be missing Bif Buff if the Hawks catch Luongo sometime in the Spring.
