That only applies if Anson Carter, Jean Luc Grande-Pierre, Mike Grier, or Georges Laracque are involved.

EDIT - and maybe Manny Malhotra or Jarome Iginla, but they're kinda pasty.

So your definition of "great hockey" is when there is a bench clearing Brawl, One goalie fights two guys, both teams get total ejection and they have a shootout ? I thought the team that wins the fight wins the game ??? :biggrin:

Nah my definition is great intensity, physicality and skill :biggrin:

That game had all of that and more.

This honestly looked like a Detroit Colorado game.

Nah when players stand and actually fight, I've got no problem. There can and should be penalties, but so long as they aren't going into the stands, hitting and running (Claude Lemieux) or turtling (Claude Lemieux), I don't have a problem.

They are grown men. Let them sort it out.

I wonder if the NHL is going to re-assign their linesmen so that the biggest ones I've ever seen (one guy is a legit 6'9) will be there to break things up? :biggrin:

yeah hes a big boy, i wonder who is scheduled to do the game? if theyll bring in the little numbers to call it.

certianly last night it would have been good to have a guy who was doing his 22nd nhl game let that shit get out of control here in columbus. he was intent on breaking everything up. had they gone at it a couple times early all would have settled down...

Yeah....

Friggin that clip is awesome when the ESPN guys aren't talking all over it.

Ray Emery is a psycho - he LOVES to fight :lol:

I find it interesting that Rob Ray was right there between the coaches. You KNOW he wanted to throw down too :biggrin:

Yep I was at that game :biggrin:

I'd asked my uncles in Detroit to get me some tickets because I just had a feeling something was going to happen.

I've never heard a louder yell than when McCarty got a hold of that bitch Lemieux.

There was a group of Colorado fans that had to be escorted out of the arena when all that broke loose on the ice.

part of a good article
deals with the drury hit
the hit on kaberle
suspensions and the game really.

here is the conclusion. (a good read if you ask me and its nice and short)
But to the NHL’s credit, the league suspended Janssen three games. Make what you will of the suspension, but it must be noted this is the first time the league has suspended a player for a late hit. It has acknowledged both Janssen’s wrongdoing and the fact player safety is an issue the NHL is not ignoring. You may say the NHL should mandate specific suspensions for headshots, but what happens the first time a superstar throws a hit and accidentally clips an opponent in the head and is automatically sat down for 10 games? Your team is in the playoff hunt and now you lose your top star because he accidentally hit an opponent in the head, with no intention to injure? My guess is you won’t be too happy with the suspension.

At the end of the day, we are left with grown men who are physically fit and playing a sport at break-neck speeds. Moving forward, the NHL must continue to monitor headshots and make it known flagrant hits to the head will not be condoned.

But let’s be careful we don’t change the entire fabric of the game by overreacting to a hit on a Maple Leaf.
