It looked like he pulled him backwards and gave him a couple shots to the mug with a gloved hand, I didn't count any more than two, and they didn't even look that forceful. the Kneeal was a lot worse imo It just looks like really bad fucking luck for orpik, but that doesn't excuse it. This is the kind of shit that puts me off hockey for a couple of years every few years. I get that people want to keep the game exetremly phsyical, but the wheel of justice has to spin harder with shit like this so the kneeal and what ever the fuck we call what thorton did stops. Of course that wont stop little shits like marchand and slewban from playing just far enough over the edge to avoid suspension. | ||

Dunno if that's the case or no, but it seems plausible. | ||

As for Neal, it looked more like a love tap. He knew damn well what he was doing. Both were pretty stupid. | ||

Like shouldn't someone have noticed by now that maybe they need to put a man on him and leave him there? sorry for asking this question.. but ummm .. do u know how to skate? if u did u wouldn't ask this kind of question. "a man" cant be both "on ovechkin" and "leave him there" (at the top of the circle) at the same time. Ovechkin is a great all around goal scorer player in every aspect, nimble, acceleration, top speed, shooting accuracy, variety of shots, deception. do not try to minimize his accomplishments by this "all ovechkin does is". that said, i have not watched him this year. if he suffers a leg injury he could lose all these qualities i've attributed to him. isn't he almost up to 400 career goals now? he is full value for every damn goal. | ||
