I'm a sens fan and i think the leauge should review it.
I think he should get a game for it.
I don't understand it...
I'll get harrassed for this, and it hurts me to say it, because I think Alfie's awesome... but I do think it was intentional - and I just don't understand Whiskey Tango Foxtrot he was thinking...
He's never been fairly judged in the media - the stick throwing thing? Sundin laughed right after it, and defended Alfie (I think it was feakin hilarious)... the "Tucker incident" (along with the miraculous recovery) - part of the game, and missed by the refs... other than that .. what... What makes him anything but a classy, gritty, hard-working leader?
and then this...
Whiskey Tango Foxtrot was he thinking here?!!?
I'm not really going to speculate at this point.
No one really deserves to have a puck shot at them unless they're blocking a shot or they're a goalie.
But you're right in that Alfie isn't really known for this kind of behaviour, despite what the lynch mobs are saying.
What cost them the game was Chris Phillips' skate getting blown, Redden jumping on the ice in the bad position, Volchenkov playing the shooter instead of the passer on a 2 on 1 and Emery taking himself out of the net.
Then what cost them the game was not scoring in the ample time that was left after that play.
Not to mention, failing to score on 2 fairly lengthy 4 on 3 opportunities and only scoring 1 goal in a one-sided 1st period.
Let's not end up guilty of adding to the mythology.
Two honest fans.
If he was trying to send a message he might have shot it at Spezza and Heatley.
I think Neidermeyer was moving and caught the corner of his eye, distracting the shot. I did not see him target the guy and fire it at him. He was looking at Giguere and the clock.
True that.What?
Everyone on here is honest. Nobody is going to waste their time posting things they don't believe in on a message board.
When somebody says they think it wasn't intentional, it's what they actually think. That hard to believe, eh?
my opinion is that the people that seriously think that's suspension worthy are ****ing morons. If people would JUST debate if Alfie intended to hit the player then this debate would be fine, but suspension talk makes people look ridiculous. To me this is a complete reaction/deflection to the Pronger suspension. Enjoy the win, don't cry like *****es about one of your players getting hit in the chest with a puck.
It was stupid but there was no harm done.
Today I read one report(Steve Simmons who was doing a hatchet job on Alfie) that said he missed completely and another that said it was off his skate.
Where did you hear that it hit him in the chest?
After Penner scored what ended up being the winner he went right over to Alfredsson, got right in his face and said something to him. It just gave Anaheim more incentive.
What do you mean there was no harm done? He riled up the entire Anaheim team.

They also indicated that they talked to some of the healthy scratches i.e., Pronger, et al. and they had talked about how this incident won't be forgotten and hinted at retribution. But they were saying that if Anaheim was up 5-0 in the game or the Senators were that action would be taken against Alfredsson.
