Too many "good goals" were being wiped out, like Brett Hull's.
His goal wasn't wiped out.

i think you will find yourself in a decided minority in that view. my guess is that an overwhelming majority of people who follow the game would say that hit was late.
Probably true. I don't watch past 5 seconds into that video to make my decision, though. Real time. It's funny, the more they slow down the replay, the later that hit looks. :D

He dumps the puck off and changes direction and then gets hit... why the ###### should he expect that? He is actually angling away from the puck when he gets hit. I am sorry but its late and uncalled for and I love a good hit but this wasn't one. I say rest of playoffs for Prust.
He changes direction to avoid another Hab. He was still in the play and just released the pass. It's the playoffs. Always expect to get hit. Watch the rest of the game and watch how often players get hit well later than that play.
-
i disagree, but even accepting that: depending on the directional force of the shoulder, that could well make it a principal point of contact.
the hit is garbage, prust should be done for the balance of the playoffs, and, even if that were the punishment, the canadiens win that bargain by giving up their version of cody mccormick in exchange for elimination of the rangers' top centerman.
I agree completely.
I don't. The only thing wrong with that hit is he made contact with the head. That's it. It was not late.
And I'm sure I am going to come across as some Old-time Hockey neanderthal, but whyTF isn't Stepan ready to be hit there and every time he gets rid of the puck. He knows that was a playoff game, doesn't he?
-
I don't agree at all. This was a dirty, unnecessary head shot delivered well after Stepan got rid of the puck -- much like Chris Neil's hit on Chris Drury way back when.
I'd like to see these hits punished out of existence.
Edit: just saw 26CB's post. I'd suspend Prust for 10 games.
I'd wasn't a head hit. Shoulder to chest. But it was very late
There were hits that were way "later" happening all game long.
-
Well he deserves a suspension. There isn't a reason to make this hit.
There's no reason not to either.

#NYR #MTL Prust to have hearing with league's Department of Player Safety http://espn.go.com/n...eal-canadiens …
My meaningless opinion - borderline hit. Good no call.
-
Nope not yet.
Brings up an old complaint... I weigh maybe 125ish. In a conversation with my boyfriend we got to talking about weight. He told me I could "stand to lose a few pounds". I immediately told him "Sounds like a great idea. I'm gonna lose about 195lbs right now from dumping your a$$"
So now ex-boyfriend. Are they all that stupid?
So, you broke up with your boyfriend for lying to you to not hurting your feelings? What did you want him to say, "Look, Hun, you could stand to shed a LOT of pounds"?
Sounds like a keeper to me.
:devil:

"This Video is Private"
oops, fixed

This series is over, The only chance the Habs have is to go full Kreider and take out Hank.
I still can't believe anyone could think that wasn't intentional. I bet Craig Anderson thinks it was intentional. In my world, "accidentally on purpose" means "on purpose." I wonder if the Rags can finally tell me whet the meaning of the word "is" is.
-
And the makeup call.....
Just call the interference on the Montreal rush and everything is fine. I think I actually saw one of the Rangers beagle sticks as he was raping the Hab.
-
This is a weird simile. Are you saying when Emrick is good at his job his annoyances don't matter?
(it has also sent me down the path of wondering how a girl with braces gives different head to a girl without...)
I took it as, "what should be a joyous occasion, is metal scraping on my …"
-
Listening to Dick Emrick call a goal is like getting a blowj0b from a chick with braces!!!!
Perfect.

Suban looks hurt.
EDIT: Nevermind. It must have been the end of his shift.

Even the Ranger interviews are boring.

I tried to pillage Newark, NJ once, but there really didn't seem to be a point.
nice

I love whenever Carolina loses.

Did anyone at any point, even right when the deal was made, expect him to stick with St. Louis next year? The conference finals were always our only hope of getting that first round pick.
This is where I have been as well.
-
The term I've seen Habs personnel and fans use is "accidentally on purpose".
Yeah, let's dive into that murky grey area. But only Kreider knows for sure. Crappy situation any way you slice it.
Either way, when the Rangers sweep 'em or kill them off in 5, it's going to feel cheap.
Injuring him was an accident. Running into him at full speed was not.
FTR, I have been wishing that the Sabres would do more of this for years.
-
I had heard about that this morning. I still don't think he does it intentionally; he just doesn't have sufficient regard for how fast he is moving. If he can't develop that regard, he probably needs to be disciplined.
But I wouldn't put him in the same class as Lucic or Kaleta, you know?
C'mon. He has been playing hockey for all but probably 2 years of his life. He knew exactly how fast he was going and what he was doing. It was intentional.
-
How bad are we really? Can you walk out of a game and find a rack full of shirts that say "Yankees suck... Jeter swallows", "Beat LA", "Payton Manning's gay", "Eli Manning's gay", or something anti-Montreal (I forget what that one says)? Yeah, we truly are a pathetic fanbase.
Are these from Philly or Boston?

Buffalo Sabres Stanley Cusps

I like Dustin Brown, problem is that he is 4 years older than Lucic and over his last 33 playoff games has only 5 goals and 5 assists. Lucic, who some say was a no-show this playoffs has 11 goals and 15 assists over his last 34 playoff games including 7 points in 12 games this year.
Is the older, less productive and less intimidating player really the better option?
I'd rather have Lucic than Brown, by a lot. You'll have to forgive me, though, I'm just finding it incredibly ironic that you expect us to wish nothing but good things and sportsmanship upon other teams and fan bases, yet the player you covet so much doesn't even do that.

Me too. I really wish they would have waited just 2 more games before changing the rule back, though.
