2013-2014 NHL Season Thread: EVERY GOALIE MUST BE TRADED, MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!

[Richybear]

Did anyone even care when he went after Kessel? The guy is a joke.

haha sorry

But wow, waiting for a Don Cherry "Keep your head up ya Swede. John Scott, good Canadian boy!" reply this Saturday.

[NynJa]

not that this excuses scott's blatant headshot, but ericsson should have seen scott coming in at him, and instead of admiring his dump in, should have made some attempt to brace for the hit.

Maybe we're watching a different gif, that looks to me like his elbow is in until the follow-through and hits him in the chest anyways. The shoulder is the only part that makes contact with the chin.

Yes, we know you dont know hockey and you're still butthurt about some comment I made 3 days ago, keep your ellipses to yourself, thanks.


Calli I dont think that camera angle shows his elbow being out before impact. It looks like he extends before he hits him. Would need a feed from the sabres side of the red line. Either way, Shanahammer's been coming down harder than Mjollnir, Scott's getting something for that lol

No I just don't like you draconian point of view that it's the victim's fault he didn't see a blindside coming. Let's go dig up some quotes of you going crazy about Patches-Chara and make the same argument that Patches should have been more aware.

Also I'm not butthurt about 3 days ago, you conveniently stopped responding when called out for being an idiot. Nothing to be butthurt about.

To me it looks like he tucks it in and then rotates so his elbow is what's making contact (with his upper chest/head area), but it's super slow-mo so it's not really a fair way to evaluate it anyway. Although even at game speed I thought the puck was gone for a good second before Scott ran him over.

Edit to Nynja:

I also thought the ... was a comment on the bloody murder you cried when Gryba wrecked Eller, despite now saying the onus is on Ericsson to protect himself, even though Eller got rocked under similar circumstances (suicide pass from Diaz).

[NynJa]

I stopped responding because you were acting like a 5 year old, and still are as you are now digging up 3 year old shit. But lets play along: its a fucking contact sport. Body checks happen in this sport and is to be expected when you have the puck, no one expects to get headlocked and rammed into a stanchion when the puck is 30 feet away, similarly to how no one expects to have their head smashed into the glass like they do in the WWE turnbuckles regardless of where the puck is.

If you think admiring your pass falls under the proper way to play hockey, may I suggest you start posting in the NBA or MLB threads.

I also thought the ... was a comment on the bloody murder you cried when Gryba wrecked Edler, despite now saying the onus is on Ericsson to protect himself, even though Edler got rocked under similar circumstances (suicide pass from Diaz).

I never said it was not a suicide pass, and its Eller. Diaz was at fault, but it doesnt change the fact Gryba got him in the head, it still was a dirty headshot.

[Palin]

Calling you out for being a complete and utter homer = 5 year old. Got it.

If you think a blindside hit to the head is the fault of the player for not looking around enough, then you're just a god damn dinosaur. Don't try to act like a traditional macho man when dealing with headshots. Been watching too much Don Cherry?

This. If this was a hit on Gallagher or Galchenyuk you'd be crying bloody damn murder and you know it.

[Izzy]

You gotta cut Scott some slack there, he was already bent halfway over, but Chara and Myers are the only two people in the league where his shoulder isn't at their chin level even when lowering himself lol

He deserves a suspension for it being a late hit, and making contact to the head.

That being said, I 100% agree with you. Every hit from John Scott is going to make contact with your head lol.

[Izzy]

Scott already has an in-person hearing hahahahah.

That didn't take long.

[Judai]

I'll be the honest one here;

I don't really give a fuck if people are dirty against the Bruins. They are dirty and scummy as fuck to everyone else they play. I mean seriously, they can't say shit when they have Lucic running over goalies.

[Bregor]

lol at anyone who tries to deflect away from the fact that the hit is terrible and Scott should be Shanahammered really fucking hard.

[NynJa]

dude, have there been any suspensions that WERENT in person?

[Richybear]

I'd be a terrible commissioner.
"Mr Langston, John Scott is in the lobby for his appointment."
"K, send him in."
*Looks way up*
"Hi.... ummm, you keep doing your thing. We're done here."

[Obsidian]

Clarkson's (trololol).

Edit: Actually, was Kessel's preseason suspension in-person or over the phone?

I thought Lucic on Miller was hilarious. Boston does some scummy shit (a lot of teams do, not just Boston), but goalies need to stop thinking they're untouchable regardless of where they are on the ice. If you're out in the face off circle to play the puck, you're fair game.

Yup.Lucic may have not made enough of an effort to stop, but he was focused on handling the puck and ran into Miller who was WAY out of the crease. Also Millers dumb fault.

Pretty sure it was in-person.

However, in accordance to the agreement with the NHLPA, a player can waive that condition and just do it over the phone.

[Wulfgang]

Scott's hit has virtually the same dynamics going as the hit on Nash. ~5 games.

[Cutriss]

What a fucking goal!!! LUCIC!

I liked how after taking the puck in the face, he nails the exact same spot when he hits the boards after the goal. You could see him laughing at the irony of it.

I'll be the honest one here; I don't mind when bad things happen to teams I dislike.
