Hockey Trash Talk & BS thread

are you still whining?

 

LOL
Lets see Rome is the the 6th defenseman on the depth chart? He will not be missed by the Canucks.

I think the Canucks got the better end of that deal.

 

Try Google Translate from English to douche bag......then you might find my point......eh?

 

ya the Bruins lost a great shooter and the Canucks lost a low level defenseman. I view more of an FU to OZ because he was ranting and raving that Rome was not going to be suspened

 

Not at all saying FU to OZ.

When it happened I did not think a suspension was coming. I guess the league it going to try to make the rest of the games a little bit more under control.

I think the control boat has already left port.

Sad really as this series could have been a great series that matched an offensive powerhouse against a defense rock.

I liked the way the Bruins pounded the number 1 line of the Canucks last night. Just too bad things got out of control. The linesmen had their hands full.

 

I'm shocked at the length of suspension .

I guess the new discipline committee felt they needed to set the tone right off the hop .

I still don't think it's rule 48 , but maybe that's the reality of the new attitude toward head injuries / concussions

 

i guess i agree with you on the league trying to get the series under control and saying they won't tolerate those kind of actions.

I really surpised that both teams have lost sight on playing the game with a little discipline and commit stupid penalties

 

I didn't think he would be suspended either, based on all the shit that Campbell let slide, Shanahan's swinging the ban hammer now. Horton isn't likely to come back so suspending Rome for the remainder of the series is the right decision, should help keep the retaliatory goonery to a minimum.

 

Horton has a severe concussion and is out the rest of the series, he will not be coming back

 

I saw the highlights from ESPN and I am rooting for Boston... This is definitely going to be a scrap and brawl series! :::BITE MY FINGER::::!!

 

the on ice officials didn't think so either, called it an interference major. whether it was called rule 48 (illegal check to the head) or rule 56.4 (interference major) the end result is the same, 5 min major and a game misconduct.

 

The control was lost when they did nothing about the incident in game 1. Basically the league said boys will be boys play on. I am sure that there are some league officials that are loving the increased viewership on TV.

 

It was called an interference major by the on ice officials , not a hit to the head

 

correct. hard to say but I don't think it was that hit that knocked him out, his head bounced off the ice pretty hard.

 

the rest of the series is going to be terrible. i'm guessing that there is going to be about 500 penalties a game.

 

Romes out for four games. About right IMHO.

 

So , correct me if I'm wrong , but that means the off ice officials deemed the on ice officials called it incorrectly .

Was the hit deemed to have fallen under rule 48 in the suspension ?

 

Wait , just read it .

The suspension was for the hit being late , and the hit did not fall under Rule 48 .

So clearly as this is an unprecidented suspension in the finals , this is the new formula for length of suspension , suspend the infraction according to the resulting injury .

I agree with someone earlier , that the Chara hit on Pacioretty was a more deliberate intent to injure , and received no suspension .

 

you mean he waited for the perfect time to give him a little shuv so he would hit the pillar and not anything else? he planned it that way? He barely pusshed him was all and the design of the rink was at fault. it was not even similar to the same thing.

 

boil it down, it was a cheap shot with the intent to fuck him up, period. Way late while he was looking away and had no reason to think he might get hit. The ref's made a call on the spot under the gun, the review warranted the suspension. Eye for an eye.
typical of the way the canucks play the game.
