nash61 Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 Mason Raymond out 4-6 months with a compression fracture in his vertebrae.Asking you seriously, do you think Boychuk should be out for game 7 because of it? Do you see the comparisons the Canucks are trying to draw between the Rome hit and this one?Both hits were clean.But the Rome hit was late, and caught his head. The Raymond injury was just a freak accident.

The Raymond injury was just a freak accident.The NHL is cracking down on hits to the head, I can see a new rule next year aiming at this becuase of Sid the Kid missing the second half. As for Daniel Sedin, he has put all the weight on his shoulders.If the Canucks win and he scores a big goal he will be seen as Joe Namath and Mark Messier.If he is blanked and the Nucks lose he will be comiserating with LeBron. 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...
Brendan Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 Yeah, anyone who thinks Luongo was trash talking Thomas is an idiot who can't read a whole quote and put it in context. He was contrasting goal tending styles. I guess he should have stuck to the boring cliche answers.Anybody who doesn't realize that he was also making a jab at Thomas is either an idiot or a Canucks fan (another word for idiot).Luongo and Thomas play very different styles. What Luongo was getting at, is that with his style, where he plays deeper in his net, Lappieres goal probably wouldn't of beaten him. Luongos in no position to disrespect Thomas, and like the rest of the Canucks he is coached to choose his words very carefully. If you want to read more into that quote go ahead, but your over blowing it. As for the Canucks, while I wish that Danny didn't say that, I don't have that big of a problem with it. I think you guys saw in the third period last night that the twins are more than capable of beating Thomas and creating pressure, and on home ice they will do just that. Losing Raymond though is huge and will hurt the whole chemistry of the team from the second line down. Vancouver has now lost Hamhuis, Rome, and Raymond in this series, all significant loses.

slapshot Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 Mason Raymond out 4-6 months with a compression fracture in his vertebrae.Asking you seriously, do you think Boychuk should be out for game 7 because of it? Do you see the comparisons the Canucks are trying to draw between the Rome hit and this one?Two totally different plays.Raymond may have caught his skate blade in the ice. Combine that with his stick caught by Boychuk's feet, it spun him around. Momentum carried both to the boards, and unfortunately, Mason's neck and vertebrae absorbed all the impact from the hit.If it was a dirty hit, Boychuk would have had a target on his back the rest of the game.

Do you see the comparisons the Canucks are trying to draw between the Rome hit and this one?Both hits were clean.But the Rome hit was late, and caught his head. The Raymond injury was just a freak accident.Rome was suspended based on two criteria: the puck was gone when the hit took place, and a serious injury resulted. Based on that, there's no doubt that Boychuk should be suspended.Rome didn't intend to hurt Horton, and I'm sure Boychuk didn't intend to hurt Raymond. Based on the reasoning given by the league, however, a suspension needs to take place. Welcome to DrunjFlix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on the reasoning given by the league, however, a suspension needs to take place.Except the point of contact occurred when the puck was in the feet of both Raymond and Boychuk. It's not a late hit if it started while they were going for it. Once Boychuk and Raymond were engaged, he is allowed to finish his check, no? (Whether he should have may be a valid question. If I felt someone's shoulders on my legs, I would like to think I would stop skating and not continue in to the boards.) It wasn't like Raymond was standing there watching his pass for a second like Horton was. They were both trying to play the puck.Either way, a terrible injury and certainly one you wouldn't wish on anyone. Any Bruins fan or Canuck hater who even uses the word karma to describe this incident is an idiot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corvus Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Not at all. Looking PURELY at the two reasons the NHL gave for the Rome suspension, as I spelled out above, it's not at all out of the question, let alone lunacy.But it was a Canuck who got injured, so the same rules don't apply. It's the only difference. In reviewing the Rome hit, they requested Horton's medical records. They did not request Raymond's records from the Canucks, so they are ignoring the extent of the injury. Even if they don't call for a suspension, they didn't even bother to follow the same procedure, which is not very surprising given the two markets that are involved in the series.

I'm not a particular fan of Luongo, he's certainly over rated and was over blown as a young goalie as the next big thing, he's merely good, not great. But the media circus over the quote was ridiculous and inappropriate, as was the circus over the Burrows bite. Hell, I was all for them starting Schneider when they did against the Hawks. And if he hadn't cramped up on that one play in game six in that series, he probably stops that penalty shot and they win that series. Maybe they go with him the rest of the way, and I'd have zero problem with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leaving it up to the whims of NHL Executives (which Shanny now finds himself a part of) is no longer an acceptable way of handeling these matters.

cornettored Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Well if this isn't obvious yet, Deadspin posted an article that says if Vancouver wins tonight it will be the least deserving team to win in the history of the Stanley Cup finals, the World Series, or the NBA finals. Even if there's a 4-0 style blowout, it'll be second to the Yankees-Pirates World Series. And Deadspin puts it best, It would be one of the flukiest Finals ever, and Canucks fans wouldn't care one damn bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
