Let's just be glad this didn't happen during a biathalon.
The video speaks for itself, he angled his body directly towards Niedermayer and shot it as hard as he could, he is flatout lying if he claims to have been trying to shoot the puck on net because the puck was not even close to being on line towards the net, if he had just put his head down and shot it that would be one thing, but he looked directly at the person he was about to shoot at and nobody was pressuring him so it's not like he had to fire the puck or risk a turnover and scoring chance.
And I am not one of these Sens haters because before now the Ducks have hardly played them and there is no history of bad blood, I don't know why he would do something like that but there is, you could tell by the look on his face during and after the scrum that he knew what he did.

Ah come on...Neidermayer is one of the dirtiest little ****'* in the league...too bad Alfie didn't put it off his teeth.
Go watch him play live and see the stick work he does as the play moves away or up the ice. He was notorious in when he played for the Devils...always whacking guys in the back of the knee's and gouging ribs...I'm surprised someone hasn't knocked him cold for all the crap he pulls.
I also remember his brother Rob getting his clock cleaned and having concussion problems when he first came into the league and he whined to the press about guys hitting too hard....call the whambulance Robbie....
....Exactly, the video speak for itself. Beauchemin is pressuring him so he has to angle his body to shoot the puck beside Beauchemin. Look at Niedermayers trajectory.. he is skating beside Beauchemin but backs up behind him, right in the shooting lane. All that in about 1 second.
....
This statement is the most absurd post on this thread bar none.
you know what pisses me off. Everyone has stopped talking about that piece of **** Pronger who is out there trying to end players careers. Alfie has not been suspended 5 or 6 times.
.............Thus far your only contribution to HF is slamming Alfie. Your fixation with him is what is absurd.
.............
I bed to differ. The fixation on this thread by some posters seems to be slamming me. Look my friends, I call them just like I see them. Pronger deserved to be suspended for both of his playoff hits. I saw them. I called them. Are you all happy with me now????
No player in this league gets a "free" pass on a play like shooting a puck at another player, at a ref or linesman, or directly in the opposing bench. Simple as that.
The US Media, obviously want to see an American team win. The Toronto media, not exactly Sens fans.
That's why we're hearing so much about this. They jumped at the chance to attack Aflie and bring the focus off (as ladybugblue and billpo said) that head-hunting cheap-shot artist, Pronger.

Wow, I just watched the Pierre McGuire youtube. His level of doucheness has reached new levels. Why do we have him on our TGOR morning shows again?
