jkrdevil Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 Big fight in the Sabres-Sens game tonight. The two goalies went at it and the coaches were screaming at each other. It all started with Chris Neil hitting Drury. He was left bleeding and had to leave the game, Ruff started screaming and then everything broke loose on the next faceoff. The hit was ruled a clean one.The Hit:http://www.hockey-fights.com/videos/200702...20vs%20Neil.wmvThe Fight:http://www.hockey-fights.com/videos/200702...ine%20brawl.wmv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred T. Jane Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 But more importantly, the Senators got a point out of it!And who says the Sens and Sabres are soft teams... [Croatia National Team Manager Slavan] Bilic then went on to explain how Croatia's success can partially be put down to his progressive man-management techniques. "Sometimes I lie in the bed with my players. I go to the room of Vedran Corluka and Luka Modric when I see they have a problem and I lie in bed with them and we talk for 10 minutes." Maybe Capello could try getting through to his players this way too? Although how far he'd get with Joe Cole jumping up and down on the mattress and Rooney demanding to be read his favourite page from The Very Hungry Caterpillar is open to question. --The Guardian's Fiver, 08 September 2008 Attention: In order to obtain maximum enjoyment from your stay at the CCSLC, the reader is advised that the above post may contain large amounts of sarcasm, dry humour, or statements which should not be taken in any true sort of seriousness.

Fred T. Jane Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 Lesson to remember...Don't challenge goalies who are fans of Mike Tyson.Ray Emery isn't your normal goalie, by any stretch. In an interview, he gleefully admitted to practicing boxing for this very reason, in addition to sneaking into the locker room early and changing the CDs to Rap, the one genre of music the team agrees they don't like, as well as turning up the volume all the way.Everyone loves Razor Ray.

TurnTwo Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 These announcers are idiots:"He just came over and finished his check." - Are you serious? Drury got the pass of and was standing there as Neil took one of the cheapest shots I've ever seen. Then the announcers have the audacity to say that if anyone's guilty it's Drury for "admiring his pass too long." That just makes my blood boil.On a side note, what a way for Patrick Kaleta (a Buffalo native BTW) to make his NHL debut. I go to school with his cousin, Derek, and he's always giving me updates on how Pat's doing with the Amerks. It was the biggest news in the school today when Pat got called up.

KevinMcD Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 It was a clean hit but it was late. I was getting ready for Ruff to beat Murray senseless, but they backed away. I also loved Rob Ray's look inbetween Murray and Ruff. It was priceless.Edited for grammar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred T. Jane Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 It was a late hit but it was late.Impeccable insight there... If you watch the replay after the Neil fight, Sportsnet show the sequence from the side angle, and it clearly shows that the hit was clean and legal, with Neil only picking up his arms/elbows AFTER hitting Drury. Drury had the misfortune of only being tall enough to have his visor meet Chris Neil's shoulder pads, hence the bloodshed.

jkrdevil Posted February 23, 2007 Author Share Posted February 23, 2007 It was a clean hit don't let the slow motion replay fool you. Drury got caught admiring his pass. That said Buffalo did the right thing by going after Neil, when you captain is on the ice bloody you go after the guy who caused it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STL FANATIC Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 Definitely looks like like a late hit to me.Niel changed direction after Drury had let go of the puck to make sure he hit him.
