I think he is one of the slickest players that has ever played the game."). That being said, Gretzky throws out praise like PC gamers throw out console hate... At this point it might be Lindros 5 or 6. EDIT: Speak of the devil, Hemsky left in the first period with a shoulder injury tonight. -.- | ||

Not sure if the Canucks realize it, but this is the regular season. You know, the time where you get points in order to go to the playoffs. Play some defense! | ||

That is just a lack of respect for a fellow player. A more skilled guy that has the balls to stand up and fight you, then you mock him after you win? Regardless of whether he is injured or not, as much as I like fighting in hockey, that crap right there removes the fight from the game and turns it into a side-show. Not only does that piss off the other team (effectively negating all the momentum your fight garnered your team in the first place) but it is totally unnecessary because your team and the fans are already fired right up because you just KTFO'd a guy. For example, when MacIntyre knocked out Ivanens, the crowd was roaring. Within ten minutes the Oilers scored three goals and carried play for the rest of the game. Not only that, but you know when you are a fighter that in any given moment that could be you getting caught with a punch and put to sleep... you don't need to give every other fighter in the league some extra oomph in their punches. In addition, it just looks bad on Hockey as a game. The contest between the Pens and the Caps is all over the headlines, but I have no idea what the score or the final was. All anyone is reporting is this fight, this fight and Asham's crap will spread like wildfire through the internet. The NHL is a hockey league, not a fight club on ice. Complete and utter side-show. | ||

"It's unfortunate the way the fight ended. I obviously want to win but I don't want to go out there and hurt anyone. My gestures after it was done … I was into the game. It was uncalled for, classless on my part. I think that those guys over there know that I'm not that kind of guy to be going off. "But it was a big game. I wanted to get my bench going. Classless move on my part." He seemed pretty disappointed in himself after the game. http://watch.tsn.ca/clip549538#clip549538 | ||

All anyone is reporting is this fight, this fight and Asham's crap will spread like wildfire through the internet. The NHL is a hockey league, not a fight club on ice. Complete and utter side-show. Totally disagree. It would be one thing if he hurt the dude, he knew and still did that. no way he knows that the guy's face is mashed in like that. all he knows is that he dropped him good. And he said and did all the right stuff after when he realized he didn't just end the fight. furthermore, virtually all fighters have celebrated in some fashion, most on more than one occasion, whether it's whipping their arms around like Carcillo, doing the quiet thing like Talbot, or just raising your arms up a few times, telling the home crowd to get up after they smack around someone. It's pretty common place. Can't really be sitting there, cherry picking which taunts are ok and which aren't over something like that. And as pissed as the other team was, look at Asham's bench. I'm sure the effect isn't mitigated by that. The bottom line is that his taunt after wouldn't even be a discussion of the dude didn't pull his tooth out. That was not Dr. Recchi out there, he had no idea and did everything right after. Unfortunate the dude got hurt, but that's hockey | ||

and then getting into a fight with the visor still on? When u wear a visor you are making a statement that you do not engage in extra-curricular activities. Beagle should not have face washed and de-helmetted Asham before the fight began because he is wearing a visor. By wearing the visor he is admitting he is not willing to absorb the negative consequences of activities that fall outside the games rules. Then keeping the visor on during the fight... whatever man. If you wear a visor you have to back off early in the pushing and shoving contests and often "take 1 of the team". If you do not do this you are seen by other players as a total idiot. its clear Beagle can't fight... what is he doing trying to drop right hand bombs onto the side of the guys helmet any way? i guess he never learned in junior that he can't fight so he had to be taught a lesson in the big leagues. | ||

But yeah, I agree, if you're gonna fight, don't be a pussy—take it off. Ryan Callahan has one, plays tough and generally when he gets into fights, he drops his lid. That's how it should be if you're gonna play like that. Wasn't there talk at asome point about tear away visors for shit like that?? It probably wasn't practical | ||
