MapleLeafpoker 1,462 Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 good shot of Subban with the slew foot Zach. I dont dispute that it was dirty play there by PK. Link to post Share on other sites
Zach6668 513 Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 The thing that confuses me the most about the fine to Neal is that the NHL obviously took the time to review the play, but somehow didn't consider how it came to be that he suddenly lost the legs beneath him?

Mercury69 3 Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 Perhaps it is a Subtle vs Blatant situation. I have no excuses for Subban's action, but the league has to draw a line somewhere, otherwise there will be 100 PM's per game. Link to post Share on other sites
Zach6668 513 Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 A slew foot is one of the more dangerous things someone can do on the ice. I'm fairly certain it's an automatic 5-minute penalty.And it's not a matter of there being "100 PIMs per game", people should start following the rules... Link to post Share on other sites
Dread Aidan 8 Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 I'd like to know what the criteria is for a high stick to draw a fine, though. Neal's stickwork was careless to the point of retardedness.Seems like good criteria to me. Link to post Share on other sites
Zach6668 513 Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 lol, all this time I never actually bothered to pay attention to the actual high stick in that gif, I've been more focused on the slewfoot. Definitely pretty reckless.Love Subban's reaction. Know what doesn't hurt in any way? Getting hit in the helmet with a stick like that. Link to post Share on other sites
Mercury69 3 Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 Yeah...tbh, maybe Subban should be playing soccer.The announcers were actually chuckling about the stick swing. i think they were syaing that Glenn Anderson used to be an expert at that. Link to post Share on other sites
digitalmonkey 929 Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 I missed that slewfoot. Dirty play! Subban needs to cut out the shit and get back to playing hockey. Last year Jacques Martin had to bench him to get his point across. Is it gonna come to that again?If he doesn't smarten up I'll have to seriously consider not resigning him in 2021-22 in the AHL.

I like him playing with grit and agitating opponents, but it's getting harder and harder to be a fan of his (which I am, based on my FCHL drafting skills ). Would be nice nice if he got back to scoring. Link to post Share on other sites
Zach6668 513 Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 Looks like we might be missing Letang tonight as Picard and Bortuzzo (Thunder Bay!) have been recalled. Link to post Share on other sites
MapleLeafpoker 1,462 Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 How do they know so quickly when a guy like Letang doesn't have a concussion? Sure looked like he got hit in the head to me. If he wakes up with headaches tomm morning, what then? Link to post Share on other sites
Zach6668 513 Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 Yeah, certainly, I mean, look at Sid... he played a whole other game (got hit again) and then missed almost a year!Didn't Marc Staal play the rest of last season before developing PCS this summer? Link to post Share on other sites
Zach6668 513 Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 Uh, no Michalek tonight either. He and Letang went back to Pittsburgh for further evaluation. 2 of our top 3 d-men in what should be a very competitive game against a formidable foe. Link to post Share on other sites

fryer98 30 Posted November 30, 2011 Author Share Posted November 30, 2011 Pens looking for some penalty kill practice down 1 in the 3rd? Link to post Share on other sites
Zach6668 513 Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 The Malkin and Orpik calls were legit. I thought Engo's slash was a pretty weak call, especially when they were already shorthanded, and the Kunitz boarding was retarded, a barely hard hit from the side from a foot away from the boards, but what can you do?Exciting game. Rangers looked dangerous every time they had the puck. Not sure if it was just because of Letang and Michalek missing though. Link to post Share on other sites

Not sure if it was just because of Letang and Michalek missing though.I didn't see the Engo's at all and didn't see a replay of the Kunitz hit to know for sure but both refs had the call.I'm guessing your tweet saying "no idea what the rule is here" was about the high stick. I didn't have sound so I'm not sure what was explained but the Rangers have to gain possession of the puck for the high stick to be waved off. Since the Rangers never had possession, the high stick was still in effect. Link to post Share on other sites

dEv~ 19 Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 lol @ fall "violently"I'd bet Neal meant to hit him, no accident, as I think the colour guy mentioned.Anyway, I dropped a dime once and didnt bother to look for it.....thats essentially what just happened to Neal. Just kidding just kidding. Please don't think I'm a bad person.Anyway it's a couple days late but I had another pensblog photographer moment. http://www.thepensblog.com/tpb/dec2011/gam...6-capitals.htmlScrolling down after the ovi photoshop and a couple of crappyish photo's taken with my cell phone of my buddy holding a welcome back sid sign. Please PM autograph requests.In other news I'm pretty sure we sat in the row right in from the the most annoying caps fan in history. For the first couple periods we continuously yelled "Shitsburgh sucks and so do the Faguins and Squealers" and other variations of that. He was saying in a chanting manner which no one ever joined in...even his couple buddies with him. By some miracle I avoided saying anything to him and did everyone else except for some girl walking past quickly told him to **** off before going to her seat. The best part of the night though (other than the Pens victory in which the 2-1 final isn't indicative of the domination they had on the caps) was going to pick up my Caps Season Ticket holder gift and the looks and comments I received waiting in the line after the game to pick it up. Some guy was like "Are you kidding me...in a pens jersey picking up a set of Caps Bobbleheads?!?!." My response was, "Yep, and straight on ebay they go." I didn't put them on yet but here's a link to it.... http://www.ebay.com/itm/Exclusive-Capitals...=item27c0da7147Some guy offered me 30 as I was walking out but I was looking for at least 50-60.
