Cup Check Cizikis

[Pumpkin Pal]

anything is on the table when it's For The Cup (tm)

literally

 

[bambamcam4ever]

Ref just standing there... That was pretty ****ed up.

I get people saying karma for this, but this is ****bag officiating.

Referees who allow non-hockey plays like this should be fair game.

 

[ThreeLeftSkates]

2 of these instances is more than 99% of the NHL players in this era have had in their careers. Yes, that makes him a dirty player.

I don't think he's looking to injure someone. It's still a gutless move to do.

Says the Cap fan, the team with Tom Wilson on it.
Hilarious!

 

[ThreeLeftSkates]

Yeah, also considering that Cizikas killed someone it's a bit weird for people to be bringing up histories.

The whole story about that incident is sad.
But it probably does not fit the picture you want to paint, so Killer Casey struck nuts instead of striking out.

When did he kill someone?

 

[miscs75]

When did he kill someone?

Playing rugby when he was younger, he hit a guy in a match who later died.

 

[Thrasymachus]

Playing rugby when he was younger, he hit a guy in a match who later died.

Even the victim's family didn't blame Cizikas for that.

The kid had been diagnosed with a severe concussion prior to the game and was advised to retire from athletics. Shouldn't have been playing.

 

[tarapoto2006]

That has no effect on Cindy Crosby.

 

[Rob Brown]

Scum since high school.

but he touched Crosby and should be suspended for the season for doing so

 

[Rob Brown]

He didn't "hit" a guy. He threw him head first into the ground, the play wasn't near them.

 

[Thrasymachus]

Scum since high school.

 

[Rob Brown]

Pretty weak reply. Not really a funny situation to make light of.

 

[Thrasymachus]

He didn't "hit" a guy. He threw him head first into the ground, the play wasn't near them.

You mean the guy who was told he should retire because of his post-concussion issues? Cizikas was forgiven by the victims family, but hey, feel free to smear Zeke's name all you like.

 

[Rob Brown]

I corrected the guy that said he hit someone. He didn't "hit" him. It wasn't a standard rugby hit.

 

[Thrasymachus]

Pretty weak reply. Not really a funny situation to make light of.

You are going around smearing Cizikas for a horrible accident. I have no sympathy for people like you.

Cry about it some more why dont ya

Where did I cry? Point it out for me.

And yeah, he didn't mean to kill him, but he didn't just run into him by accident.

You were crying by calling him "scum since high school", as if he were a serial killer.
I never played rugby, but I imagine people get hit every play, sometimes(like in hockey) away from the play.
It sounds like the whole World is over the incident, except you.

I didn't say that he was a serial killer, nor did I cry. I'm not sure how calling someone scum equates to crying, but alright.

 

[heysmilinstrange]

I think it's funny how posters on here will calmly rationalize someone getting hit in the head and suffering permanent brain damage, but hits to the testicles are treated like someone brought a shiv on the ice.

 

[mr figgles]

This is Crosby's signature move. Pretty sure the Sidney Crosby hat trick is a goal, an assist, and a shot to someone's nuts.

The guy was told he cant play and chose to play anyway. It was a horrible accident but not entirely Cizikas' fault

I was just speaking generally about hits to the head in hockey, not Cizikas' specific case. I don't know many of the details, but I'm sure he wasn't being malicious.

Maybe crying is the wrong word, but you are trying to drag Czikas' name through the mud for no reason but your own.
To put it in words you will understand:
Czikas is no Kadri.

Or-prick cup checked Martinook pretty good the other day, too.
