tb4me Posted January 2, 2014 Report Share Posted January 2, 2014 Not a fan of the dirty play today. I do not want kessel to get hurt or lupul to sit out. I would like to see the best players play. Refs need to call it all. Not pick and choose. They control who wins too often. Wrecking the game. I couldnt agree more.. I have been saying this all year..It seems real bad this year doesnt it...

tb4me Posted January 2, 2014 Report Share Posted January 2, 2014 (edited) EH OH GO CANADA GO.....In other news I see Bobby dang Ryan is taking the news well....Ha ha ha Burkie once a Leaf always a Leaf..He doesn't pick Ryan for the Olympic team cause he is a stinking Sen....But seriously he didnt pick him because he doesn't play with enough intensity ..So what does he do? He insults USA hockey brass by calling them gutless...LOL way to seal the deal Bobby..He has now most likely shot himself in the foot if any roster spots open up due to injuries in the next month..Here's what hockey USA had to say Team USA's selection committee wasn't sold on Ottawa winger Bobby Ryan. Advice: One member of the committee was quoted saying, "I think he's sleepy. I think he skates sleepy." GM David Poile asked: "Are guys nervous about Bobby Ryan?" A flurry of hands went up and Poile said, "That's a lot of guys." It also sounds like the committee wasn't sure what role to give Ryan because they didn't see him as a top-six forward. However, it's still very surprising to us that a player of his talent level didn't make the cut. Edited January 2, 2014 by tb4me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kickingfrog Posted January 2, 2014 Report Share Posted January 2, 2014 Interesting article about from a reporter who was given a lot of inside access to the US team selection. Where the sleepy quote comes from. I don't know enough about the US team to know if Ryan should, or shouldn't, make the team but the question I have is: "Who's spot does he take?" And as they mention in the article if Ryan isn't a top 6 forward would he be good enough to play a bottom 6 role? http://espn.go.com/new-york/story/_/id/10195703/how-us-hockey-team-bound-sochi-olympics-was-named Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leaf4 Posted January 3, 2014 Report Share Posted January 3, 2014 beautiful! I was skeptical of him getting anything for it because principal contact was the shoulder and his stick slipped up and went to the neck unfortunately but I'll have him in the lineup any day rather than being suspended Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kickingfrog Posted January 3, 2014 Report Share Posted January 3, 2014 He won't get off so easy next time. He is too valuable and misses enough games due to injury already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tb4me Posted January 3, 2014 Report Share Posted January 3, 2014 Ya wow.. im not complaining but id love to hear why they thought it wasn't suspend-able seeing as he s a repeat offender.. Dont get me wrong im laughing about this but yikes...Sure doesn't follow the president set by Shanny and the league Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muskymatt Posted January 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2014 Looks like no suspension for Lupul, just a 10k fine. What a joke, a repeat offender at that. Laffs get the preferred treatment once again. Shanny should step down, Lupul could have seriously injured the guy. Pathetic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillM Posted January 3, 2014 Report Share Posted January 3, 2014 Yeah preferred treatment to the Leafs who have already been handed 6 suspensions this year. You should start dealing in facts instead of your butt hurt feelings for once, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, I've always said the laffs were a bunch of hacks, dirty players....remember tucker, domi, etc. Name one they didn't deserve. Clearly Lupul acted out of anger, targeted the neck(primary point of impact), injured the guy and gets a slap on the wrist even though he's a repeat offender. The league wants to stop this stuff yet they don't act on a primary example of exactly what they want to get out of the game. No consistency, no wonder they can't make progress with the punishment.

danc Posted January 3, 2014 Report Share Posted January 3, 2014 Don't look now, but with a win tomorrow night, Leafs would have their longest winning streak of the year (4 games). I like what I'm seeing lately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The game has become so nanny like. Edited January 3, 2014 by Misfish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misfish Posted January 3, 2014 Report Share Posted January 3, 2014 (edited) My point is this Game is played,penalty is called,but yet big brother/nanny, seem to add,AFTER the game. LET THEM PLAY,LET CALLED STAND. Why have refs? Let them play pond hockey style and then tell them they did wrong. Waste of money having 4 extra guys on the ice,if they are going to be over ruled.

LET THEM PLAY,LET CALLED STAND. I almost agree 100%, when the stars are getting hammered through illegal hits and missing games, the game suffers. Ticket sales suffer and the fans don't see their favorite players. It's a lose lose. That said, there has to be a happy medium. With respect to the after game suspensions, it's sort of kinda acting as a deterrent to the offenders, thee league just has to be consistent and enforce it equally. Then the players will get the message. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The star player,is no different then the 2nd 3rd 4th line guy playing the game. It,s a game. All are equal IMO. If the leafs lost Orr,Leaf fans would think it was a great lost to their tough guy line. Would other think this? No. Would who ever took him out think the same as if it were Sid? Ya,those that praise the star players would. Star players are limited. They are surrounded by other great players. Many un noticed. Thats the sad part. They make them stars. Just yakking here.

No, I think the stars should be treated just like everyone else. That means they are not treated as targets by goons and extra effort is made to knock them off their game or out of the game. Guys who can hardly play the game should not be chasing stars around solely targeting them with dirty, illegal hits. Any way you look at the hit on Crosby during the classic game it was a hit to the head, the guy can deny it all he wants but it looked like a deliberate attempt to injure.

Weren't you the one that just said the Leafs get preferred treatment? You can't even keep your whining in line to understand it yourself. You're kidding yourself if you think Lupul turned around, saw his neck and thought 'Hey, I think I'll high stick him RIGHT IN THE THROAT!'. Did you even see the play? Lupul took a head shot, got back up, first Detroit player he saw he cross checked end of story. We need a baby whining icon so I can use it anytime you reply in this thread, non stop water works from the Senoritas fan.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
