If anyone has a gif of Backlund very clearly mouthing FU in that last scrum, please share it. Soooo many applications for that.

More like last 15 years?

"Good teams don't look hideous for 6-8 straight games. Good teams are consistent for the most part."

How the hell would an Oiler fan know?

Refer to Matty as an example actually engaging in actual discussion about it even though he and I disagree

The guy made a hit the NHL wants all player to make instead of headshots.

It is cleaning up the game!

Guy makes a clean hit and now it is too much!

Loud mouth baffle? This was a perfect example of a clean hit. A hit the league supports over and over again. He never took a run at the player, he did not target the head. Guy was back on the ice minutes later.

I dont want to see players hurt! I want to watch a hockey game without cheapshots. Or intent to injure!

Refer to Matty? I have not read his comments! I dont care what he said either.

Our player thru a bodycheck to a player in the upper chest! A nice clean hit!

Damn even Yamer says this is the point of contact! It was a clean hit!

Being a clean hit the guy was back in the game minutes later! Yes he got rocked! Was back in the game minutes later. That is the result of a clean body check! We are teaching players to make hits like this instead of headshots.

Too violent for you?

I am from the 80's where players tried to kill each other. Guy got rocked tonight and was back in the game minutes later! In the 80's he probably would of had his career ended.

Point of contact was the chest! You will not see a cleaner hockey hit than this.

If you dont like this stop watching hockey! If you think this was violent you have not seen anything yet! A nice legal check that did not injure a player!

I can show you 30 years of footage of illegal checks that ended careers.

Then again Matty seems to be the expert here. Let him chime in!

That was a perfect check tonight by our player. Clean as clean could be.

Text book for what the NHL wants.

Maybe i missed a video or two. Damn that looked like a perfect body check.

I believe, for tonight, we praise Stajan.


Also, I’m pretty certain all of those gifs would be indredible with Matt’s face shopped on

[Sandman]

I think,if anything, Rinaldo clips the guy shoulder-to-shoulder, and the guy's shoulder pad hits him in the face.....

Sky is the limit for this kid!

I'm so glad he didn't just stall out in his development like so many others after hitting that initial wall transitioning to the next level. He looked so promising among other prospects though, you just knew he had it in him.

Now the Flames may have just promoted from within to get that other top six skilled forward. He a center also... could get moved there at some point. Maybe we're gonna red wings this thing. Emilio Pettersen and Zavgorodniy look like they could be something too, a little further down the road. We don't need to trade firsts for Jokinens and sign Neals to get us there.

Ok this is a really random comment. My kids are three and a half and eighteen months old so it’s been a while since I’ve stayed up late enough to see post 10 pm sports highlights.
How long have the Dallas Mavericks had those hideous jerseys?

[getbak]

Lucic now has 5 even strength points. Neal has 6.

[DeluxeMoustache]

Purple Gatorade is back. Even the trainers / coaches had a bit.

Great to see

[TheScorpion]

Getting serious Kapanen/Johnsson vibes from Dube and Mangiapane. They're both here to stay.

NBA teams wear about 6-10 different sets of jerseys every year.

If he is suspended it's because he is a borderline NHLer

If it is a head shot, I can understand a suspension. However there is nothing wrong with hitting an opposing player to hurt, as long as it’s clean. Intimidation is a part of contact hockey.
