Zamboni Posted November 6, 2023 Report Share Posted November 6, 2023 I’m waiting for the extremely rich and inaccurate nonsense of it’s all the trainers fault with every injury. It’s always the trainers/conditioning coaches fault for every injury. And every long-term injury. 😂 i’m glad The workhorse from Whitehorse is only day to day. And not week to week. 👍🏼 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watch out for Cozens, he's the one who got his clock cleaned? Upon further review, in a world of military power, Cozens is North Korea? He can go ballistic and cause damage but he won’t win any wars. Not that Reaves has helped the Leafs much. 3 year contract! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norcal Posted November 6, 2023 Report Share Posted November 6, 2023 Can we all agree Cozens is not a fighter and shouldn't fight unless absolutely necessary? I agree. He shouldn't. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doohickie Posted November 6, 2023 Report Share Posted November 6, 2023 Donny pretty much ruled Cuzzy out for tomorrow's game in today's post-skate presser. Said maybe he'll be skating in a coupla days. Sounding more and more like concussion protocol to me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pronger had a lot of space, his technique was more stick oriented. Pronger comparison to Cozens? Come on man. A guy who goes down and is out for several games because of one Hathaway punch is not going to generate any respect or space at all. Quite the contrary.

There's no respect given to Cozens for at least dropping the gloves? I think he deserves some credit there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zamboni Posted November 7, 2023 Report Share Posted November 7, 2023 “ I only respect players who drop the gloves from time to time“ ” OK now I only respect players who drop the gloves from time to time but they have to win the fights also” ” OK now I only respect players who drop the gloves from time to time and win the fights, but also aren’t injured after the fight“ ” OK now I keep on moving the goalposts and I don’t know what my position is now of fighting and winning and injuries“ 😂 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjd1001 Posted November 7, 2023 Report Share Posted November 7, 2023 Another topic we all have pretty diverse opinions on. Something changed with me about 3-4 years ago...over the course of a few months, I just kinda became "OK" with no fighting. Sure, if there is a fight in a game I'm going to watch it, but if there were zero fights in the NHL, I don't think I'd miss it at all. If only NHL player safety had enough guts (and the union allowed them) to make harsh penalties for the stuff that should not go on in the game, there wouldn't really be reason for it. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea I don’t mind fights that happen “naturally”, “organically”. I despise the fights that look forced, staged or in retaliation to a perfectly legal check or hit. That stuff looks like amateur hour to me. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just saying that Pronger made room for himself more by vicious stick work than dropping the gloves. Maybe Cozens can add grit in a variety of ways instead of winning fights. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoPuckYourself Posted November 8, 2023 Report Share Posted November 8, 2023 I love the spirit of Cozens... As someone who has fought plenty (those days are over now, I got it all out of the way when I was younger lol) I can tell you this, you will always run into someone, somewhere who is a better fighter than yourself and you're going to get rocked... PERIOD. The fact that he took the fight probably knowing full well it might not end well is a testament to his toughness it just sucks that it cost him some games but this will make him tougher, to be the best you have to beat the best. This kid is by far my favorite Sabre right now! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hathaway's a fighter, but he's not all that. Tkachuk took him out in last year's playoffs. 3 hours ago, French Collection said: Just saying that Pronger made room for himself more by vicious stick work than dropping the gloves.

This kid is by far my favorite Sabre right now! I get the spirit. Love seeing it in a player. However, his actions are hurting his team. It’s best he heals up quickly and gets back on the ice. Next time, he should check himself before he wreaks himself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
