I can't even imagine what would possess someone to HECKLE in that situation.

What a sick individual. o_O

What do the keyboard jockeys think of this?


As a proud keyboard jockey, I say hell yes!!!: If the NHL drops the instigator penalty and the third man in rule, lets defensman come down below the face off dots in the event of scrum and instructs the linesmen not to jump in at the first cranky facial expression. Otherwise, it is just a sideshow and doesn't really stop the meatheads or dirtbags. Players just cannot police the ice the way they once could, the league won't let them. Now, let the fur fly.

Remember when Brett Connolly couldn't score an empty net goal for us back then but leads the Panthers with 14 goals now?

Remember when Blake Wheeler .. . oh wait, that's a horrible game to play :laugh: I do wish they had resigned Connolly, I thought he was decent. It also makes me think about when the last time the Bruins signed someone else's unwanted guy and got a nice return out of it?

Well, I don't wish injury on anyone, not even Tim Peel, but I'll admit that I won't miss him reffing any Bruins games for the next while.

I just hope they don't decide to put him in charge of reviews in Toronto. o_O :help:

Edit: he's out three months, surgery required

Yeah Connolly was decent, probably better served as a 3rd liner at the time, but still think he should've been tendered an offer. Claude played him over his head.

Ryder comes to mind for me when it comes to finding treasure out of someone else's garbage. Habs didn't want him, signs with B's, then goes goal per game vs Habs in the playoffs the same year. Plus the glove save in the 2011 playoffs vs the Habs. So sweet haha

The shield is an inhibitor though

players who fight need to use an uppercut - that’s really the only legit knock out punch in today’s game

TRIVIA: what legendary former pugilist had a phenomenal uppercut. Hint he played for us

When Gaunce got called up he wore a cage - was it normal or do to injury he suffered previously

That would eliminate fighting

I am always amazed that they bother when most of the time they are punching onto someone's hard plastic helmet and yes, the shield too. Agree with Trenton above, Lyndon Byers could chuck them. I wouldn't say P.J. Stock was legendary but I seem to recall he had a good uppercut as well.

WARNING

the following video may get you aroused

this is

A. The greatest upper cut in the history of hockey

B. On Craig Berube

I went home after game 7 went thru a box of Swiss Miss hot chocolate watching this over and over and it helped

Heat of the moment I suppose. I've seen the rare occasion when both players agree to toss the helmets and then go at it.

Yeah they are fired up no doubt and probably don't care in the moment. But, this is why I never want to see Brad doing this, or Gryz, or Krug for example. Those guys live and die by their hands to not be tearing them up on some meathead like Hathaway's helmet.
