ofiba Posted February 23, 2007 Report Share Posted February 23, 2007 I thought this was interesting... The bad blood almost carried over after the game. Mair went to the Senators locker room, where he apologized to Heatley in the doorway. Heatley accepted the apology, but Senators assistant coach John Paddock shot Mair an angry glare. "Don't look at me like that when I'm apologizing," Mair said to Paddock, who then apologized to Mair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claude Balls Posted February 23, 2007 Report Share Posted February 23, 2007 Yeah, WTF is that about? I just hope Mair was apologizing to Heatly in advance for beating his ass this Saturday night. I wonder what this is all about. I never knew they were "buds" or anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doohickie Posted February 23, 2007 Report Share Posted February 23, 2007 Think about it- if you went to a school with 1000 people, you'd have a pretty decent chance of getting to know a good number of them, even if they weren't in your classes. There are fewer players than that in the NHL. They probably play in golf tournies and stuff in the off-season together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledInIllinois Posted February 23, 2007 Report Share Posted February 23, 2007 I thought this was interesting... Just when you think there is no hope... there is something cool like this! Then again, there will be people out there that see this as a weakness (Paddock I suppose... Maybe some here?)... So be it... It is a GAME... Things can be reconciled!

There are fewer players than that in the NHL. They probably play in golf tournies and stuff in the off-season together. Heck... I work with 12 other guys and we all fight like azzholes! Things are great, a real hoot in the blue collar/manual labor trades! NO wonders mgmt acts like bigger azzholes!... :D :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claude Balls Posted February 23, 2007 Report Share Posted February 23, 2007 It would've been a whole lot better if Heatly came over to Mair and apologized. Oh well, I'm just being a homer and hoping Mair is setting him up. :chris: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goodfella25 Posted February 23, 2007 Report Share Posted February 23, 2007 I think what happens on the ice should stay there (minus suspensions which need to be handed out from time to time). And Murray with his "scare tactics" after the game shows his ignorance. Sucks losing like that, doesn't it Bryan? Nice job trying to compensate though.

Rabbit151 Posted February 23, 2007 Report Share Posted February 23, 2007 I broke a guys leg once in a Provincial soccer final, we won, they were the favorite. I didn't mean to do it, but I did mean to hurt him. He was runnin our guys and shootin off his mouth. After the game, i sought him out and apologized. He understood. Rage during the game, men and fellow soccer players after. I wish his buddies were so relaxed. they surrounded me at the bar and I was done for were it not for the intervention of one of my team-mates who just happened to be completely nuts. Mair may have even felt bad about goonin Spezza, but you know what, he'll punch Heatley in the face next game if he feels it needs to be done.

MBD Posted February 23, 2007 Report Share Posted February 23, 2007 The Sens didn't lose a player with a possible concussion and who needed stitches on his head. But Mair went above and beyond and showed tremendous class by apologizing. Hopefully it sent a message to everyone to watch themselves in the future.

diver Posted February 23, 2007 Report Share Posted February 23, 2007 When you are on the ice, field or pitch you go to war. When you are off the playing surface you are friends. That's where sportmenship and competitive goes together. In that thought you must play with honor. But in hockey defend and support your teammates but not to a point with the intent to injury another person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shrader Posted February 23, 2007 Report Share Posted February 23, 2007 You always hear a lot of talk about the code and the Sabres follow it very closely. Just look at Peters last year when he broke McGratton's face. He pulled off immediately when he saw that he was hurt. The whole thing would've never been so ugly last night if Murray wasn't a bumbling idiot. Put some muscle out on the ice after the hit and it ends right there.

rickshaw Posted February 23, 2007 Report Share Posted February 23, 2007 The Sens can talk all night about Saturday, but the fact is this. Nothing will happen The NHL will have people there and the teams will have been given a strict warning. Mair apologizing shows he's a good man. As far as I can tell, the players like Mair and Peters didn't need to be told what to do. That was instincts. Ruff didn't tell them to do anything. When they were put out on the ice, they knew why.

apuszczalowski Posted February 23, 2007 Report Share Posted February 23, 2007 OUCH!!!!! I took some crap last night for a similar comment. Meh, I've made comments like this before, and I am actually a fan of Heatley, I think him and Briere were on a line together it could be one of the best lines in the NHL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
