Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
Anyway see the Robidas leg incident? I'm asking for how nasty is it? Do I want to watch it, or will I cringe like nothing else?

Couldn't happen to a better guy though. Robidas is such a warrior... the exact type of player I want my kids to watch and emulate. You have to worry about his career at this point. It's too bad and I hope he can pull through. |
Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
No Alfie tonight...crap. He hasn't done much but is always dangerous out there. Would rather have him than not.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
Matt Cooke hit isn't as bad as everyone is making it out to be. Yeah it's a dangerous play but he is clearly leading with the shoulder when Barrie avoids the upper body contact and the knees end up colliding. Dangerous play for sure as he is leading with the left leg like that but....if this wasn't Cooke I don't think it would even be discussed as a suspension.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
That said...it's Matt Cooke. SO yeah. Don't know why teams continue to employ him.

When you're going for an open ice hit like that and it becomes apparent the guy is going to get around you, you can do one of two things: 1) Go for the hip check. Hard to change body positioning that quickly, but it's certainly safer. 2) Change tactics completely and go for the puck instead of the body. Matt Cooke knows as well as anybody that you CANNOT stick your knee out like that. YOU CANNOT. I agree that it's getting more buzz because, like you said, it's Matt Cooke. He knows better.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
Yeah that's dangerous and stupid no matter who does it. I'm sure it's getting more press cause of who it is but he should because he's continued to do this stuff. This isn't my three year old doing something after being punished for it, it's an adult.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
So Hank is taking a beating here in NY Sports talk over game two. Can't wait to see how things go in game 3.
Btw I back read this thread....while it makes me laugh that I pissed off all the Flyers fan with my comment about "real playoff hockey," I was actually being literal in that the Ducks game has been the only playoff game I have been able to watch any significant amount of because of my schedule haha. Hope to watch game 3 tonight, but it is not looking good. Game 4 will probably be the first game I get to watch the majority of. |

The sad thing is he's an effective player when he focuses on actually playing hockey. He was arguably the Wild's best last night, all over the ice, making clean hits and playing well defensively. The Wild made an adjustment trying him out against MacKinnon, and look how many points Mac got compared to the previous two games. In short, Matt Cooke is a good player... I don't know what causes him to do these incredibly dumb plays. But yeah, Marty, you have to wonder how much longer teams will take a chance on him. |

...fact is, you don't need this kind of player in the NHL. Just unnecessary, should be banned from the league. He's not so effective that the league wouldn't be better off without him. |

Cooke gets an in-person hearing. So it could be 5 or more...it's gonna be a long suspension I think.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
I don't think the Rangers have been bad at all. This is going at series. Should be intersting how Berube handles the lineups with last change. It's pretty clear he wants Giroux away from Girardi and McDonut.
|
Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
I think the last change should help them get going early. I just hope Hartnell will stop blocking Girouxs shots

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
Since the Caps aren't in the playoffs re-watching old playoffs series highlights. The 2009 Caps/Pens Semi series was so good. Forgot how Varly was standing on his head most of the series

Poor kid. I wanted to cry when the Wings lost to the Ava in 96. As I've gotten older I yell and get pissed instead.
