Brendan Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 Is it too early to say that the Columbus Blue Jackets are for real? They dominated the Kings last from start to finish and are 5-1.Until about 20 games into the season, its too early to really make much of a judgment call about any team's performance.I'd like to say one cannot gauge a team's performance until mid-January as the superior teams begin to separate from the rest of the pack. Whereas the weaker teams begin to either make adjustments in an attempt to push for the playoffs or succumb to the fact that their squad is not good and begin to "push" for a high draft pick.You don't have to worry about Toronto doing that.

Don Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 The Thrashers game got ugly quick.the 3rd was just downright awful for the Caps. we tried our hardest to hand the Thrashers the game, but it just didnt work. Varly made a few big saves down the stretch, but frankly if the Caps desire to be one of the best teams in the East they HAVE to lock this game down at 5-2, period.

Football players don't fight after tackles, so why do hockey players feel the need to fight after a legal hit.If you hit another team's star player, you're gonna get something from his team. Clean or not. Its always been that way. Im not saying its right, but its not necessarily wrong. Its just part of the game. Protecting the stars by making those who hit them pay a price.

Football players don't fight after tackles, so why do hockey players feel the need to fight after a legal hit.Comparing tackling in football to hitting in hockey is a bit flawed. Sure hitting is a part of hockey, but it isn't the main point of the sport. In football the whole point is to tackle the person before they can score a touch down. In hockey, hitting is just one way of slowing a person down. If you want to compare tackling in football to something in hockey, maybe you should compare it to making a save or blocking a shot, or a poke check.Hitting a player, after they hit a teamate, is a part of the game. If you're gonna get rid of that, you might as well get rid of the hitting in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I play hockey and whenever my teammates or I get hit. whether it be dirty or clean we take a number and we get them back in time. We don't stop the play by trying to fight a guy.
