rams80 Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 Good game last night. I wouldn't say the Ducks were that dirty, but rather that both teams played hard, intense hockey.

EatSleepJeep Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 Pronger is just out for Game 4 the Ducks should consider themselves lucky.Very, very lucky.Considering it was less than a two weeks ago when he took a shot at another player's head with his elbow, he's obviously not learning. This should have at least been two games.He'll never learn unless they start tacking on large numbers of games. They ought to suspend a player for the offense and add the total # of games previously suspended on top of each new infraction. This elbow would have earned Mr. Lauren Pronger 14 total games.Look at his history:1995: 4 games - Slash to the throat of Pat Peake1998: 4 games - Slash to the head of Jeremy Roenick2001: 1 game - Leaving the bench to instigate a fight with Kelly Buchberger2002: 2 games - Crosscheck to the face of Brendan Morrow2004: 1 game - Kicking Ville Nieminen with his skate2007: 1 game - Elbowing Tomas Holmstrom from behind into the glass2007: 1 game - Ellowing Dean McAmmond in the faceBut look at the bright side, at least he's stopped using his stick and skates to inflict injury.

FiddySicks Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 I dont know much about Don Cherry (Or however you spell his name) but he has to be by far the biggest idiot i've ever heard. Why would they put this hack on TV? He's promoting hockey like he's Vince McMahon. On 11/19/2012 at 7:23 PM, oldschoolvikings said: She’s still half convinced “Chris Creamer” is a porn site.)

zig Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 He's promoting hockey like he's Vince McMahon.I was thinking the same thing. I feel like I was verbally assaulted by Cherry and Hull Also is Brett Hull like the American tv version or Don Cherry? They seemed to agree on everything and Brett Hull is really starting to annoy me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still not as bad as intentionally targeting a guy's head with your elbow though. Besides, considering the way the Ducks conducted themselves in game 3, they have to expect some retaliation.

jkrdevil Posted June 5, 2007 Author Share Posted June 5, 2007 Cherry was pretty entertaining at the intermission (he's a guy you don't take to seriously). I could have done without Hull sucking up to him though. It did seem though that Hull and Clement were trying to egg Cherry on by bringing up visors and the equipment.

Taking a shot at someone with barley any time left is crap you see kids do in rec leagues. Was it dirty? Yes. Was it in bad taste? Yes. Was it uncalled for? Yes. Could he have seriously paralysed or killed Niedermayer like Pronger could have done to McAmmond with his elbow? No. Listen up Sabres fans, you probably could have won the Cup last season had you beat Carolina. This year though? Not a chance. Ottawa dispatched you in five games. Now Ottawa's got a fight on their hands with Anaheim. If you couldn't take Ottawa to the limit what makes you think the Sabres would fair any better against the Ducks?

A piece of frozen rubber smacked at upwards of 50 MPHs at your dome does have the potential to kill you my friend. Its like a pitcher intentionally tossing at a batter. It may not kill you, but it does have the potential.But Neidermayer should've gotten out of the way of that shot. Isnt that why Anaheim's nickname is the Ducks in the first place?

NJTank Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 I think Hull is well on his way to being the best salesmen for true hockey in the USA. I like the Hull & Cherry piece they should work together more often. They had some great lines, like CHerry saying to Hull "you should be the last one to talk about a goal in the crease" Or Hull and Cherry on AhhhnoldBrett: "He's a Right Wing becoming a Center"Cherry: "No Hes a Left winger Now, a Tree Hugger"Bravo lets see more of this. www.sportsecyclopedia.com For the best in sports history go to the Sports E-Cyclopedia at http://www.sportsecyclopedia.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
