Why is Neil going out of his way to start **** anyway? Moral victories get you no where, he's just trying to justify his paycheck since he adds little to nothing to a hockey team anymore.
I think it's a little curious that we think Franzen was rubbing it in Neil's face. Neil was running around trying to act like his actions were going to make a difference, which it never does.
Heres the hilarious part. You actually think Neil started all that. Why is it that Neil had one guy in his target at the end of the game? I didnt see Neil trying to fight Jurco, you honestly think this was some random thing? If Franzen would have just skated away from all the BS nothing wouldve happened. Instead he goes out and chops Ottawas number 2 dman after he just got done facewashing Neil in a scrum
This just in: a facewash at one point in the game allows the player who received it to start throwing punches at you in another point in the game.
I don't give Neil crap for playing tough in a blowout. I give him crap because he picked the dumbest times to try and be tough, and instigated an altercation with an opponent at a random time in the game and acted like a neanderthal. Franzen's comments weren't him fighting, they were him giving his honest (and correct) opinion about one of the league's dumbest players.
This just in: facewashing a known heavyweight in the third period of a blowout may have that guy wanting to fight you, especially when you start laughing in his face and not backing off when the refs are in
This just in: Especially after its right when you got done two handing the teams number 2 dman and had him wanting to fight you.
This just in: If you dont want to fight, dont use your stick and facewash, especially to known fighters since fighting is a part of hockey
This just in: its extra stupid if youre coming off a concussion
This just in: wings fans have gotten really soft over the years, Mccarty would have done the same thing but now we defend the guy who starts **** and cant back it up.
This just in: I dont blame Franzen for not fighting, but dont be stupid enough to give guys a reason to want to fight you in a game that was over in the first. And especially dont act all brave and call names after the game is done with
