habsfan1 Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 Can we send Emery back to Siberia? Because seriously, what the was that?... this sparks Ray Emery to burst like a bat out of hell down the ice and assault Holtby, who clearly did not want a damn thing to do with that. Then everything else slowly smolders out of that once the rest of the Capitals realize that their goalie is continually being lunchbox punched in the back of the head.I guess Emery was pissed it was 7-0 and his mask got knocked off after that last goal? Still, that's not any justification to do what he did. He has to be getting a suspension, right?It was actually smart of Holtby to back off. Emery trains at boxing in the offseason, and he was just looking to TKO someone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 That was bad, but I will say this: if you're going to fight someone to retaliate for some taking of liberties, then you gotta look like Emery looked. In this great big sea of flailing your arms around and slipping, that was the most passionate and thorough ass-kicking the NHL has seen in years. Had it been a goon doing that to a rat rather than a goalie doing it to another goalie, it would have been a thing of beauty. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBTV Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 Do the goalies even talk to each other? Or do they just go after each other because of some kind of unwritten code? Wouldn't it make more sense for a goalie to deck a guy who had been up his as all game long?Flyers fans are the most stepford in all of sports. Even when they're out of the playoffs, it's because the refs screwed them, other goalies stood on their heads, Mr. Snider is Jesus, Allah, and Ganesh rolled in to one, and HOMER! CLARKIE!" Seriously, this team still has Bob The Hound Kelly as it's "ambassador", making public appearances and visiting schools, has Homer and Clarkie in the organization, recently employed town drunk Gary Dornhoeffer, and brought back Ron Hextall, who even though he won a vezina and conn smythe, was more known for fighting and slashing opposing players. I'm sure they'd bring back Ed Box Car Hospadar (started a bench clearing brawl BEFORE a playoff game started against MTL) if they could. Point is, there is FINALLY starting to be some kinda sorta negative things being said by fans, which never happens in Flyerville. If this keeps up for another 20 years, they may start to stop coming to games.

Lee. Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 As an aside, Gary Dornhoefer was one of the worst color commentators the Jets ever had back in the 80s, and all things considered, that's really saying something.

Lee. Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 I want to say that Alberta has had this tax for years, but I don't feel like googling it to make sure if it's still in effect or not. My meagre research has also shown me that the city of Philadelphia charges all visiting players a 3% tax on their gameday salaries, so it's not exactly a new thing.

Cutting a guy because you're tired of carrying him as a mandatory scratch is a badass move. I wish we had done that to Dan Carcillo.He just finished his suspension; tonight would've been his first game back. I'm assuming that you can't waive someone who is suspended.Emery was named the third star of the game, btw. Four goals on 15 shots... a .733 save percentage.

The_Admiral Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 Could you waive someone in that window between "Mr. Shanahan would like to speak with you" and the actual levying of a suspension (in cases that a player isnn't "suspended indefinitely" pending a hearing), or is that player frozen on the roster as soon as that ball starts rolling? ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Admiral Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 So I'm watching the Lightning game because the Lightning are fun to watch. Killorn scores to tie it, horn blows, crowd cheers, whaaaatever. But then they pan the crowd and there's this woman, presumably a paid ticketholder, holding a sign that reads, in team-color-blue Serpentine,LET'S GO LIGHTNING!What the hell is the point of this? Why would you make a sign and block people's views just to convey a message as facile and useless as "Let's Go Lightning!"? Either make something witty or put your goddamn sign down. What a tremendous waste of time and energy. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still MIGHTY Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 Columbus gets their All-Star Game back next season.Good.Phoenix remains the one place that didn't get the game back after losing it for lockout/Olympic reasons. Which is rather strange when you consider the league's relationship there. You'd think Phoenix would have had the last 4 ASGs. | ANA | LAA | LAR | LAL | ASU | CSULB | USMNT | USWNT | LAFC | OCSC | MAN UTD | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
