occasionally, just like in AFL things can not be perfect. so friggin what. Ryder took out mcpharlin with a headshot but did he mean it? of course he didnt.
its guys like Kaleta and Briere (spearing expert) and Cooke who are the bad eggs.
No Ovi no problems, Caps smash the Filthy Flyers 7-0, typical filthy ■■■■■■ once again tried to rough us up, disgraceful hit on Holtby. 3rd period got very heated with 120 penalty minutes dished out and several fights. 164 penalty minutes in total given today
Was great to see Ward net a hattie, one of my favourites
As a fan since the mid-80s, I find it very hard to defend anything the Flyers do right now.
That had Holmgren's messy fingerprints all over it. Hmmm, we're getting booed off our home ice because we're absolute garbage, so let's go Slap Shot and make a spectacle of ourselves. The worst thing is, it worked, because people started cheering.
Ed Snider needs to give up control of that organization, but it's probably not going to happen until he dies. So in the meantime, we wait, while he hires more ex-Flyers, trades for goons, overpays for washed up defensemen, and above all, tries to pretend like it's still 1975 and a team of old, dumb, slow Canadians who can fight first and do everything else second will somehow produce a winning hockey team.
Every move they make just makes it worse.
I enjoy a bit of the Bullies nostalgia now and then, but it doesn't excuse the fact that the rest of the NHL moved into the 21st century a long time ago.
3rd star of the game to Emery says it all. Hope they get their **** together for you SB
Love a good fight as much as the next bloke but draw the line at a goalie skating the length of the ice to target an opposition goalie just for the sake of it, ■■■■■■■ disgraceful dog act by Emery.
When Emery challenged Holtby, Holtby said "I don't want to fight" and Emery said "Bad luck, just defend yourself".
2 years ago Giroux was a potential superstar. Now he is stuck with goons like Hartnell on his line that can't score and refuse to fight.
This team is a close to St Kilda as it comes.
Latta came in to help break up the fight and was waved away by the ref, Holtby was clearly beaten and down on his knees yet Emery kept belting him in the back of the head whilst Holtby was powerless to stop it. General protocol is for the player to stop the fight when their opponent is beaten as Volpatti did against Downie, Volpatti was jumped by Downie and responded by belting the living suitcases out of him but once Downie went down he backed away. Lecavalier the goon also wished he didnt start his fight after copping an absolute flogging and probably missing a month with a broken jaw
