sabre31_98 Posted December 22, 2006 Report Share Posted December 22, 2006 That was effing disgusting. But I do think that we should have responded much more. Come playoff time people may be taking such cheap shots knowing we do nothing about it. Just a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thesportsbuff Posted December 22, 2006 Report Share Posted December 22, 2006 what a joke. i hate to see stuff that like. yeah he got checked into the post, and was obviously frustrated, but there's no need for that. i'm glad biron jumped in right away, and i'm pretty happy we didn't choose to retaliate on someone else from the preds.

scottnc Posted December 22, 2006 Report Share Posted December 22, 2006 That was one of the biggest sucker punches I've ever seen, right on the jaw. Yeah, I would have been irritated after getting thrown into the post but that was inexcusable. I just hope Spacek doesn't have a concussion...

Sabresince70 Posted December 22, 2006 Report Share Posted December 22, 2006 I don't think our reaction was bad at all. It looked like Paetsch was concerned for Spacek and "covered him" while Biron appropriately went after Nicki. Does anyone know if spacek was injured? CI had the Nashville feed and they didn't even bother to mention he was down. Oh, and pumping two in on the powerplay was a nice touch, too.

Bmwolf21 Posted December 22, 2006 Report Share Posted December 22, 2006 He probably will get a small suspension, since he's essentially a nobody in the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bmwolf21 Posted December 22, 2006 Report Share Posted December 22, 2006 Good to see Nashville's fan base has its own group of idiots and Flyer-fan wannabes... <_< LINK Good for Nichol!!!

How he walked away from that game without a match penalty, I'll never know. Scoresheet says he got 2-instigator 5-fight 10-misconduct and game - misconduct. I'd say they got it right.

wjag Posted December 22, 2006 Report Share Posted December 22, 2006 I'm surprised Spacek just stood there after that check. He took a pretty good shot on the jaw and dropped like a brick to the ice. I'm guessing he'll be drinking his food for a few weeks.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I'd still hope for a suspension, I'm talking only about what the on-ice officials could do.) The intent was as clear as possible. He deserved a match penalty on top of everything else. The refs dropped the ball on that one. Hopefully the NHL doesn't do the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bmwolf21 Posted December 22, 2006 Report Share Posted December 22, 2006 Actually if you read the rest of the posts they are all pretty reasonable. Like which ones? This: Scottie deserved to get his punches in, but I don't want anyone injured. Spacek deserved his licks though.... Or this: Agreed that it was a lapse of judgment on Nichol's part; but understandable. I've been thrown into my share of goalposts and at that speed it's more than painful, because it's disorienting. Spacek probably didn't do it intentionally, but his negligence in taking a penalty in such a dangerous move, and then turning his back on the player he may have injured himself... sorry but I have to admit I did feel a lil' bit satisfied with Spacek getting jacked. And you Sabres fans know ABSOLUTELY well that there would have been plenty of cheers in Buffalo had the situation been reversed. Those were the only other posts on it thus far.

shrader Posted December 22, 2006 Report Share Posted December 22, 2006 God I hate the "you would've done the same thing" argument. Whether or not that's true, it still doesn't make the act any less wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sabre31_98 Posted December 22, 2006 Report Share Posted December 22, 2006 Like which ones? This: Or this: Those were the only other posts on it thus far. Maybe this one: Nichol will get at least a 1-game suspension for the "instigator with less than 5 min" rule. he may get a couple more for the hit itself (i didn't see it yet). i know barry will NOT get fined, since he had no role in "gooning" it up at the end. I hope 22 is finally healthy for saturday's game --- and the "running" up of the score was in retaliation for the hit.... i guess lindy ruff would rather win 7-1 than send out guys to start fights. i love fights and all, but respect him for not sending out someone to obliterate one of our penalty-killers.

SabreInFla Posted December 22, 2006 Report Share Posted December 22, 2006 Anybody able to catch the press conference? I'm not even able to enjoy the win....is he hurt bad? Just found this on sportsline..... Arnott added his eighth from the left circle at 3:02 of third, but Nashville didn't score again. Nashville center Scott Nichol was given a game misconduct for punching Jaroslav Spacek in the jaw and starting a scrum after being interfered with on his way to the goal at 15:21. Spacek finally got up a couple minutes later. Kotalik and Pominville responded with a goal each to finish Nashville off. Game notes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bmwolf21 Posted December 22, 2006 Report Share Posted December 22, 2006 I am elated to hear that Spacek is OK, but as the post-game guys pointed out, since he isn't hurt, it will probably impact how long/if Nichol gets suspended., 31_98 - Dude, come on - I was pissed about what happened, and wanted to see what the Preds fans had to say. When I went into their Game-Day thread I saw idiots who were praising Nichol for "getting his licks in" and getting back at the "slew-footing slug." I pointed out the original post to show that there are idiots in their fan base as well, and then brought out two more who showed they were glad that Nichol jumped Spacek. The best you can come back with is a post from a guy who "didn't see the hit"and one who responding to someone who was pissed the Sabres were running up the score. Head back over there and you'll the "reasonable discussion" has broken down into name-calling, threats and general stupidity.

Crestwood Posted December 22, 2006 Report Share Posted December 22, 2006 Just my $0.02: The Nichol punch was despicable. Absolutely bush league. The NHL needs to make an example out of this type of brainless play since they declined to with the Bertuzzi situation. I'll leave the deciding up to Colin Campbell & Co., but I'm thinking double digits in games suspended. At least. Like Rob Ray said, the least Nichol could've done was to tap Spacek on the shoulder and let him turn around. I realize that Spacek took Nichol hard into the goal post, but there are many better ways of reacting to a hit than that. P.S. To Preds fans: It wasn't running up the score. It was a good PP practice for a unit that's been anemic for a month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
