NAF Posted February 16, 2022 Report Share Posted February 16, 2022 Nice to see the Sabres making the dirty plays instead of taking them. I would love to see more of this, but I doubt Cozens' bank account would as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huckleberry Posted February 16, 2022 Report Share Posted February 16, 2022 Would tick me off, some players like to do groin hits and they always get away with it Marchand/Crosby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dylan is not a man to be messed with, and his willingness to drop the gloves to come to the aid of a wronged teammate shows the Sabre's are becoming a team you don't want to mess with. I love the type of hockey where people don't just talk, but actually do SOMETHING about it. This is exactly the type of guy I want wearing the A on his jersey 2-3 years from now.

MattPie Posted February 16, 2022 Report Share Posted February 16, 2022 I like Cozens and all, but that was some cheap-#$%% stuff right there. People here'd be calling for someones head if I Sabre was coasting to bench and got crosschecked from behind into the boards. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt Posted February 16, 2022 Report Share Posted February 16, 2022 He deserved the fine. If he does something like that again he definitely deserves a suspension. You can’t cross check people in the numbers and into the boards as they are coasting to the bench after the play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it was dirty, but I understand the reaction after being hit in the family jewels. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think I do. You take the guys number and take care of it next time you're on the ice together. Hitting someone unawares isn't OK.

If they would have fined Nelson also these things may stop, but since they don't players will take the fine in order to get their redemption. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the response. I’m thinking Nelson won’t be repeating the jewels spear on Dylan any time soon. We've bitched and moaned about having a team without emotional responses to things that happen in game. I liked this response. Responses like this one will give Cozens room over time.

triumph_communes Posted February 16, 2022 Report Share Posted February 16, 2022 As long as Nelson goes unpunished I support what Cozens did Keep in mind Cozens hit downwards, Im a way that wasn’t going to result in head first paralyzing injury, not out towards the boards. Big difference. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being wronged is not a free pass to then go out and do wrong yourself. Punch him in the face, sure. Give a heavy (even a little late) body check, sure. But cross checks from behind into the boards don’t belong in the game. That’s my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not like Cozens instigated it. 6 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grinreaper Posted February 16, 2022 Report Share Posted February 16, 2022 I like the justice Ovechkin got when he took out Briere by crushing him after Briere had peeled off from the play and was heading for the bench. It took weeks or months but Ovi had to play quite a way through a game to get the butt end of Briere's stick separating his balls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After getting speared, an opportunity presented itself. He availed himself of the opportunity. Could he done so in a better way? Yeah probably. But overall, big picture is, Nelson shouldn't have speared him. Pretty sure he now won't do it again. And if he'd've waited for a different opportunity to address Nelson's actions, we don't know that anybody would even remember why he did whatever that happens to be. Presuming he even gets the opportunity for retribution. Nelson knows why he got crosschecked. Maybe it's the start of Briere Ovie 2.0. Always nice to have a reason to hate the Aisles that's actually current and not 40 or so years old. 😉 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the league is serious (and they aren't) about ending this they could do it in a month. But you mentioned the flip side. Nothing gets fans amped up like a good debauchery filled feud 4 times a year and that's good for the pocket book. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I can understand the opposing view here, I just think it's a dumb risk to take. If Nelson gets injured here Cozens is suspended (in-person hearing, I'm guessing) and is now a repeat offender. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That Aud Smell Posted February 16, 2022 Report Share Posted February 16, 2022 I fooking love it. I also suggest that any hand wringing, well-actually's, and/or scolding be gathered up, packed securely, and sent to your mother. Or someone's mother. Or an auntie. No matter. I'll even Venmo you the shipping costs. And don't mess with the Workhorse from Whitehorse. Also: This happened when I all I had was a radio feed. I heard Ray's "Ooohhhhhh" come in, and I was like: Whatever happened -- it was bad. (And as RUN-DMC once said: "Not bad meaning bad, but bad meaning good!") 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
