mario said the club should have to pay (against it's cap) for antics like what happened in the isles game... and it should go UP with each violation. How much would he be up to?
No doubt hey, he's always talked out of the wrong side of his mouth. Samuelsson, Kasparaitis, he welcomed players like this on his team with open arms. Now Cooke, give it up already Mario.
why are we talking about the late hit again? on that note... I think we should put all our plugs out there for this saturday and rest the big guns... no need to have them hurt before the playoffs
Bolded #1: Since when is a clean open-ice hit called "intent to injure"? If that is the case, close up shop and let's all go watch some basketball, because hockey officially sucks now.
Bolded #2: Don't you mean "Go cry to the media when you are pouting!" when speaking of Tort's comments?
1) I love open ice hits. I am saying Laviolette was under the impression that Vitale was sent out to injure someone - whether or not that's true, I don't know - I was not on the bench. In thinking such, this is why I think he was so upset.
2) Yes, I agree. That doesn't mean I don't love what Torts said. There was a ton of truth to it. I don't like when everyone cries to the media but that doesn't mean I dont agree with what he said.

You just named 3 players out of the last 20+ years... You sure you dont want to go back to the 70s on this one?
As I said in the other thread - if either team thinks they're going to get out of this series unscathed, they're TOTALLY wrong. Laviolette will have his team goon it up if they know they're done and frankly, the Penguins are a dirty team anyway.
If only they had some goons that actually scared anybody. Go back and watch the Youtube of Shelley and Engelland. I think Jody is still bleeding.
The sports gods really do not care for my health. Steelers vs. Ravens constantly, Pens vs. Flyers/Caps/Wings... At least he gives me the late summer and fall off.
Shall I pull out the numbers to show how terrible a playoff goalie Bryzgalov has been career wise or is this another case of "he's a Flyer now so that makes him instantly better".

Not really any need, in fact just one of those names would have been enough. Besides, the pens were the leagues doormat in 70's, nobody cared about them.

Hey man, I heard the Pens were begging for fans to buy playoff tickets.
I have it on video but I don't want to show it right now lol.
Playoffs
Bryz: 2.55 GAA, .917 SV%
Fleury: 2.52 GAA, .910 SV%
Man, I can't wait until Giroux and Co. light up Fleury in the playoffs.
