2011-2012 NHL Season Thread: FUCK COREY PERRY

[bluefan]

You know...after reading the amount that baseball player got with his new contract, I'm glad the NHL has a salary cap. Quarter of a billion over ten years....that's just fucking ridiculous.

[Valisk]

Lol, "that baseball player".

[Richybear]

Once again Shanabans are going the way of the reffing... inconsistent at best.
Leino gets nothing, when the intent was there.
Sutton hasn't been determined yet.
Ovechkin gets nothing for his jab with the stick.

By the end of the season the only players getting in trouble will be Gillies and Tootoo.


Pretty soon Stanley will be the only cup in the NHL when they get rid of all the hitting and turn it into women's picnic league.

[bluefan]

Lol, "that baseball player".

I'm horrible with names, but great with faces. So sue me.

[Grey Jorildyn]

Thank you Callahan!

[BadKarma]

What a shot by Captain cally! Power play goal no less

[Judai]

So you watched the replay, and now you're an expert?

...Okay, I'm done now. I had to get that out of my system, lol. For those that don't get what I'm talking about:

I would have been like, I don't need to be an expert to see a dirty fucking player hitting a dude in the head on a replay. You're an expert piece of shit though.

[Brill Weave]

Andy Sutton is a dirty player. He has been his entire career. But every time he does something dirty he claims he doesn't do these types of things. That interview just makes me dislike him even more.

[Sepukku]

Penguins playing like ass to start - while the Flyers got a goal they shouldn't have, they also DIDN'T finish goals that they should have. Lucky its only 1-0.

During the 4 on 4 though, Pens had #s 44, 46, 47, and 48 on the ice - made me chuckle to myself lol

[Valisk]

So you watched the replay, and now you're an expert?

That's freakin hilarious. I've watched it about 4 times now. That reporter could have played that so many ways. He should have said he doesn't need to be an expert to see an elbow in a guy's face. Or he should have asked what college degree does he need to be able to see that Sutton go his elbow up. Or if he needed to be an eye doctor or a "replayologist". Oh man. The rage that would have occured from those responses would have been glorious.

[Brill Weave]

Sutton's a bitch. That reporter is also a fucking retard.

[Sepukku]

Well you have to take into account Sutton is a repeat offender.

To be fair, you also have to take into account that AO is also a repeat offender.

[bluefan]

lol

Flower with a some fancy stick handling there. Crowd made a "Ohhh!" sound.

[Anton]

Leino gets nothing, when the intent was there.

Should be Shanaban'd. Looked like the Pacioretty elbow, with even less body.

Sure enough, this is on today's site:

Buffalo's Ville Leino will face a hearing with the Department of Player Safety on Thursday afternoon.

Leino's hearing is in regard to the elbow he delivered to the head of Philadelphia's Matt Read in Wednesday night's game, a 5-4 overtime win by the Flyers.

Ovechkin gets nothing for his jab with the stick.

Saw the highlight. Saw it in a repeat. Saw it on That's Hockey.

There should have been offsetting penalties on the play - if you're going to call Nick Foligno for some "hollywood", you should at least call Ovechkin for the hook. It's not really a 'spear', it's an invasive hook resulting from Ovie using a hockey play to try and interrupt Foligno's next move - a hockey play that's a penalty when done that vigorously.

It's really the on-ice ref's fault for missing the call. Bad on Foligno for diving. Not worth a suspension.

I hope, in this day where the nhl is trying to send messages about player safety (operative word: trying), that the refs continue to call diving penalties vigorously on players seeking to profit from the message-shifting.

This kind of crap is a disease - you have to fight it so that it doesn't infect the game anymore than it already is.

Sutton hasn't been determined yet.

They just ruled on him today.

Edmonton defenseman Andy Sutton has been suspended indefinitely by the National Hockey League's Department of Player Safety for his hit on Alexei Ponikarovsky of the Carolina Hurricanes during the third period of Wednesday's game.

Sutton has been offered the option of an in-person hearing.
~nhl.com

Sutton suspended indefinitely pending a hearing. Something tells me he isn't going to Lucic out of it - they'll probably decide his suspension term afterwards.

[Judai]

I want Sutton to ask Shanahan if he is an expert after he suspends him.

[BadKarma]

Messier is playing in the alumni game. Fuck yeah

[bluefan]

I want Sutton to ask Shanahan if he is an expert after he suspends him.

Hahaha, oh man, I would give up my stack of $100's to see that.

[Thoronas]

Fuck you Vancouver, score on a 5 on 3!!

[bluefan]

Woo, Luongo being...well, Luongo.

[BadKarma]

Save of the month right there holy fuck
