bunomatic Posted October 10, 2013 Report Share Posted October 10, 2013 I actually thought it was one of the rare times, and I mean very rare, where that move made sense. He was coming across the goal, the goalie was following him and had the net completely covered, they both kept moving and the puck stopped and he became his own screen. If they don't like it then stop it. Also, screw the Rags. Agree on the second point for sure. Heck I agree on the first point as well. This league allows goals where you plow through a goalie showing no creativity at all yet get upset when a kid shows an artists touch. Sure its what 7-2 or something at that time but who cares ? Teams run it up all the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teams run it up all the time. I would rather he try something like that in a blow out game then in a close one where I need him to score a goal. Sure it might look bad that he is scoring with a goal like that, but he is taking more of a chance of missing by doing it then if he just shot from there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wjag Posted October 10, 2013 Report Share Posted October 10, 2013 I'm impressed he managed to lift the puck while skating. A few Sabres could be taught how to lift it normally, let alone through your legs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

26CornerBlitz Posted October 10, 2013 Report Share Posted October 10, 2013 I'm impressed he managed to lift the puck while skating. A few Sabres could be taught how to lift it normally, let alone through your legs. @SherryDarlingNJ Jaromir Jagr says he tried the Hertl move "about 17 years ago" in a 2-2 game and failed. He never tried it again in a game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, there's one Sabre that can do it...well, he didn't lift it, but who cares, it went in. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e3gLwTzN5t0 Edited October 10, 2013 by skaught Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaLaLaFontaine Posted October 10, 2013 Report Share Posted October 10, 2013 Hertls goal was simply awesome! The whole league should tap their hats to this expression of talent instead of bitching around like Oates. This is hockey in one of his purest forms, the artist side of the coolest game on earth.

This is hockey in one of his purest forms, the artist side of the coolest game on earth. You know what's artistic as well? The perfect hit. After Hertl's little display in an 8-2 game....I make it a point to keep hitting in a lopsided game with the lead. Maybe when the little boy has the puck and is just waiting to get on the bus...he go bye-bye. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably because the Rangers were already on the bus. Edited October 10, 2013 by JJFIVEOH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably because the Rangers were already on the bus. And in all honesty, I'm shocked there was no retribution. That's pretty much the point...for you to get open to pull that sort of bologna, the other team has called it a day. Next time I bet they don't call it a day. The Hockey Gods have taken notice. I'm predicting within the next few weeks, Hertl goes down with an injury....not caused by anything nefarious. Just a good ol', hockey gods putting the little DB back in his place injury. 4-6 week minimum. And how does Pegula not make Darcy draft a guy named Hertl? If there is a player named Joe Cheektowaga, you bet he's Sabres property. Ahh..now I see why nothing happened. They benched Hertl for the rest of the game!!! That lil' sh!t will get his......

TrueBlueGED Posted October 10, 2013 Report Share Posted October 10, 2013 I think it's pretty obvious that years of Tortorella's verbal abuse left permanent scars on the Rags, robbing them of all potential for toughness going forward. At least Lindy's physical assault only ruined two players, not a full roster! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this happens this will be sad. Hockey needs artists. Of course we also need hard checks and fights ( I love fights). But to send goons against super stars because the scored an awesome goal is crazy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They benched the kid the last 8 minutes....that makes more sense now. Seriously....we are in a punka$$ world when that is glorified. I can't believe Marty didn't spear him in the nads.

This little pipsqueak needs to learn "There but for the grace of God go I".... Not comparable situations IMO. There's not a whole lot a player can do when Chara decides to drill them. An All-star game goal attempt? Make the save. The kid will then look foolish for trying such a move in a real game.

Seriously....we are in a punka$$ world when that is glorified. I can't believe Marty didn't spear him in the nads. I'm not surprised by this. I caught the tail end of an interview with a San Jose player on the radio a day or two after the play (I turned it on late, so I missed which player it was). He hinted that the Sharks bench wasn't too crazy about him doing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bunomatic Posted October 11, 2013 Report Share Posted October 11, 2013 We'll see how the teenage mutant ninga Hertle does tonight against the Nucks. Should be a good game with the Sharks having Van Cities # for quite some time now. I want to watch this kid n see what all the fuss is about.
