Dustin Byfuglien Throws 6 Punches At AJ Greer While Down

[Hunter368]

Except Greer didn't drop the gloves and grab Wheeler. He crosschecked him after Wheeler gave him a shot lol. And then he skated away.

Clearly you didn't watch it either with the way you're trying to change the facts

I never stated he grabbed him....trying to spin words now? I stated you haven’t watched the whole clip, ie where Greer started trying to goat Wheeler into a fight before the puck was dropped even....stop commenting if you never watched the whole clip which clearly you haven’t. That’s why pmo was screaming, Greer tried to goat him into a fight before play even started. Nice try though.

Greer tried to start shit and got a lesson. Bush league there, next time he won’t.

Hooking/tapping someone is not the same as trying to GOAD someone into a fight. Or is the Jets team just that sensitive that they can't even handle a dropped challenge of a fight (if that's even what he did, which you cannot prove)? Greer skated away from Wheeler after he crosschecked him. Doesn't seem like what you'd do if you were really trying to fight someone.

I suspect if Lowry grabbed McDavid and dropped the gloves before the puck was dropped you might be singing a different tune

If things were reversed and Lowry (& Lowry is a heck a lot better player then Greer) tried to drop the gloves with Nate M

Then what are these false equivalencies my friend?

 

[M C D A V I D]

Thats what Ive noticed here. Kinda hyppocritical

Would never wish injury but it would be hilarious if it happened again just to see particular poster's reactions lmao.

You keep using that term and I'm not sure you know what it means lol. Again if you think what Greer did is bush league take a break from hockey and take up the Olympics for a bit. Hockey is a physical sport.

 

[wpgallday1960]

if an opposing player touches your favorite team's player. Since it happens all the time

You are right it does happen all the time and sometimes another player will step in and take up that challenge. I'm not honestly upset at the incident at all. Greer challenged Wheeler to a fight Buff stepped in and crossed the line late in the fight. It's the swipe at fan bases or ragging on Buff for stepping in for Wheeler that has me wondering on the sanity of some of the responses.

Don’t get in a fight if you don’t wanna get punched in the face?

It's not a fight anymore when you're pinned to the ice by 2 refs

Derp

I love all the crying in this thread, it makes the four point game vs a divisional team even better.

Is that all you've got? lol

Yeah cause this is all people are concerned about. How about don't go after someone in a hockey game if you don't want them to retaliate?

 

[wpgallday1960]

Greer skated away from Wheeler after he crosschecked him. Doesn't seem like what you'd do if you were really trying to fight someone.

Looks like Greer is trying to get back to Wheeler (who had moved to the centre ice red line) when Buff intercepted him.

 

[ediger]

The sanctimonious horse crap being flung around in this thread is nauseating.

 

[The Crypto Guy]

When is the hearing? That was sickening.

 

[Hunter368]

Is that all you've got? lol

Four points and good memories of Buff.

 

[Eyeseeing]

We’re all hypocrites when it comes to this stuff.
Buff is our guy so we love it.
It works that way.
Greer will live at the last report I heard.
Next....

 

[M C D A V I D]

Hockey isn't that important in the grand scheme of things. Take a step back. Breathe.

 

[Drytoast]

Avs fans upset b/c we blew them out and Buff owned one of their players again. Remember when he crushed Barrie with a good hit a couple years ago....they sure do.Whole thing was pretty funny actually. Buff clapping and singing in the box was the funniest thing all year

Buff's an asshat but this was just a fight between two willing combatants.

Me think's hockey has grown far too tame for some of the "new fans"

 

[lomiller1]

He's a 4th line scrub going after the other teams top player trying to provoke a fight. For those complaining about "the code", this is just about the worst possible offence under "the code". Not only that Greer declines to fight someone else who steps up to say "fight me instead", then goes after the star player again. He's a complete douchebag move by any measure and isn't going to be protected by the code because he's blatantly disregarding it himself.

 

[lomiller1]

Hooking/tapping someone is not the same as trying to GOAD someone into a fight.

Umm have you ever played or even watched hockey in your life? That's EXACLY how you try and goad someone into a fight.

Exactly. The poster(s) on here claiming that what Greer did is "bush league" might need to take up a new sport if they aren't used to the physicality of hockey.

 

[Foppa2118]

No not a light tap, you clearly haven’t watched the whole clip. Greer was trying to instigate a fight with Wheeler before the puck was even dropped. I suspect if Lowry grabbed McDavid and dropped the gloves before the puck was dropped you might be singing a different tune. Greer started it, buff ended it. End of story.

Hopefully Wheeler has been able to recover from that vicious shove and tap on the arm off the faceoff. Must have been in shock afterwards, that's the only way he would have been able to go hit Greer and give him a couple of shots of his own without passing out from the pain.

Certainly worthy of Buff jumping a guy he outweighs by literally about 70-80 lbs and punching him 6 times while he's being held down by two linesman.

No I've never watched hockey before in my life

 

[Menzinger]

10 game suspension without pay would be fair.

Buff has always been classless, don’t expect him to ever change.

If you can't understand Buff standing up for another player,the teams best player, then I can't help you. Greer was willing to fight Wheeler but not Buff? Buff didn't jump him.

Now to be fair, Buff crossed the line in the fight.

 

[bennylundholm]

Stop trying to justify their gutless reaction to his predatory attack. Gutless and disgusting fans there cheering

Should not be cheered for i thought this would be OBVIOUS

You don't get it. Fans cheer after fights. The cheering in this one is for Buff sticking up for his captain who was being challenged by a fourth line rookie. When Greer went after Wheeler, he was breaking "the code" of not challenging the top player and captain of an opposing team to a fight. Go after a fighter. Buff sure isn't going to show him respect, rather teach him a lesson.
