I expected one to three games, so this is fine with me. It's not like the Oilers are chasing a playoff position.

Fans (fanatics) can be hilarious. Oiler fans are angry with three games and Flames fans are angry that he didn't get 20. You guys (both sides) take this stuff too seriously.

Hell, I bet if I swung hard enough from a blind spot I could definitely take down guys that have 4 inches and 50 pounds on me. Look how tough I am.

according to Spector that makes you a nuclear deterrent. please be careful with your temper. don't go all nuclear on us!

I will admit that I forgot the circumstances involving McGrattan's return to Calgary and just stored it in my brain as being a celebration post-fight and obviously that was incorrect.

I have made worse posts than that though.

No, people didn't like that he sucker punched somebody and then celebrated like an absolute tool. Had nothing to do with the act in and of itself, certainly many a player has beaten up a Flame and celebrated. So what, that's obviously not the point, unless you're an obtuse troglodyte.

What celebration after his attack on Polak, I have watched the video, there isn't a single frame in which he was celebrating. It is being made as though he stood over Polak's bloodied body and did a choreographed dance routine. If you could show me anything of him celebrating I will change my tune. Heck I would donate $20 to the site if you can show me a video of him celebrating like an absolute tool.

One of the players who were actually on the ice stated he celebrated. I'll take his word for it as it is SN and they aren't the greatest with their cameras catching incidents that happen on the ice.

What are you talking about?

You're legitimating the first person in this thread that has introduced the idea that Nurse was celebrating after the Polak beating.

You're basically saying "How about this thing that nobody thinks happened! Well, I DONT THINK IT HAPPENED EITHER! Go ahead! Prove me wrong!"

Great post. You're on a roll in this thread.
