Boulton (NJ) just dropped Murray (SJ)

[AtlantaWhaler]

I prefer winning the game to winning a fight. Again, I'd take Murray over Boulton on my team, and so would you. Boulton is a dime a dozen and that fight, like most fights, didn't mean a damn thing. Sharks still won the game.

How did the Devils do last season by the way? Oh that's right... didn't make the playoffs... I bet Boulton would have been the difference!

That's nice. This thread is about Boults laying out Murray.

 

[tarheelhockey]

what? I haven't quoted anyone. I was asking for you to provide me with anyone who said he was respected, besides yourself

Take a look at post #41, champ.

Your responses continue to amaze me. Your whole attitude that every single sharks fan here is sooo sore because Boulton got in a punch that Murray pratically hand wrapped his face for, and ended up knocking him down. Its actually amusing, whenever someone response to you, its always "Oh, your just sore." That is all you have to contribute, "your just sore." If anything YOU'RE the sore one in this thread, complaining and accusing every Sharks fan in this thread because you dont like our opinions(which are, for the most part, true).

See that's where you're wrong. I'm not saying anything about "every Sharks fan". The vast majority of Sharks fans, including several in this thread, have just dropped by for a quick non-bitter comment and then left. I've only commented on those who felt the need to run down Boulton in an obvious display of defensiveness. And the 2 or 3 who have now rung up about a dozen posts each are particularly amusing, especially as they insist that they're making innocent comments on Boulton that are completely unrelated to the fact that he just torched one of their players with a punch that's going to end up on a LOT of highlight reels.

The comments about him being a dirty, unrespectable, nobody of a player are completely unrelated though, right? Just HAPPEN to be in this here thread.

That's nice. This thread is about Boults laying out Murray.

See, that's what makes you a troll.

'Laying out' implies he knocked Murray on his back. He did not. 'knocked out' implies he lost consciousness, he obviously did not.

He landed a good punch and Murray fell to his knees. That's it. He won the fight, woopity doo. It doesn't make Boulton a better fighter (small sample size), it doesn't make Murray a bad fighter (he clearly is not, his record is excellent for a non-enforcer). It certainly had no effect on the game as the Sharks still won.

Stop exaggerating it and blowing it out of proportion. No one is arguing Murray won the fight, he didn't, we are just telling you that your constant hyperbole and exaggerations are trolling. You know it's not true but you are saying it anyway to get a rise out of people because you find it amusing.

lol, ok. That was the post i made showing him laying a dirty hit. That was my reason why he isn't respected, you have yet to show me how he is. So basically if i post a vid of Matt Cooke laying a dirty hit a few seasons ago in a positive thread about him today, it wouldn't matter? He still isn't disrespected?

So yeah, that's 3 Sharks fans trying to find a reason to talk badly about Boulton after a completely clean fight.

And another Sharks fan comes in with "cheap move" and "bush league". I think the point is proven.

I clearly said every sharks fan in this thread, not in general. Torched? here we go again. You, along with many others like to blow things up. He didn't get "torched". How does Boulton being a goon and Murray being a top 4 D man not have to with with respect and their status as a hockey player? That is where this whole topic went. Saying he is sooo respected when you have nothing to back it is a very stupid thing for you to do. He is a goon, he isn't a good player, and he contributes nothing to his team. And please dont try to attempt to bring in his enforcing skills as a contribution.

I'm not sure you're watching the right video.

I'm pretty sure your just a guy who doesn't know what he is talking about. Quit trying to make something out of nothing. You clearly don't know anything about this fight. Run along

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

Yep. You seem quite content with the outcome of the fight. Not sore at all, no sir.



Doesn't sound like trashing to me. Nope. Completely unrelated factual thought that coincidentally comes off as defensiveness. But isn't. No sir.

1. I never said Murray didn't lose. The outcome would be meaningless to me even if it was Murray laying out Boulton. Murray would still be off the ice for 5 minutes and the Sharks lose the better player.

2. It's not trashing the guys character. It calling a spade a spade.

 

[tarheelhockey]

lol, ok. That was the post i made showing him laying a dirty hit. That was my reason why he isn't respected, you have yet to show me how he is.

The post you quoted in post #41 says he is well respected. That was what you asked for, right?

Are you for real?

I clearly said every sharks fan in this thread, not in general.

Check out the second post in this thread:

One punch.

Well done.

Sharks fan NOT making an ass out of himself. Not portrayed by me or anyone else as being one of the handful who are clearly bent out of shape over this incident. And without going through the whole thread, I'm pretty sure there were a few others as well who have been completely cool about the whole thing.

Then there are 3 or 4, already mentioned, who just can't let it go.

Torched? here we go again. You, along with many others like to blow things up. He didn't get "torched".

Yeah, if you say so buddy

 

[tarheelhockey]

2. It's not trashing the guys character. It calling a spade a spade.

And, of course, unrelated to the outcome of the fight. You would've come here and called Boulton a "nothing of a player" if the fight had been a draw.

I believe you 100%.

Unrelated to the fight? You've been off that topic for awhile now, yourself. You say Sharks fans aren't letting it go, yet you continue to keep quoting everyone and manipulating their statements anyway you like.

Is Boulton a valuable hockey player? You have yet to answer that and you continue to make hypothetical statements and judements of me based on that comment.

Let me get this straight, you tell me to look at MY post, and then say, wow i meant the most you quoted in your post? What is your point?

"The fact that anyone could lose respect for one of the most respected fighters in the league is just silly."

I posted the vid, he states that that was 6 years ago and basically shouldn't matter. Again, no logical explanation to why he is respected.


He posted "one punch, well done" What the hell is so wrong with that post? What is your point? It doesn't say knock out, or wrecked, or laid out. If he did, someone would have said something. See thats why we have been posting, because idiotic people over exaggerating about the fight.

Your post: "Eric Boulton is the man. No need to trash the guy just because he posterized your player." Again, another over exaggeration. Then you go on to attack my post about his dirty hit claiming it was a bash(Its a fact, he hit him dirty), Then go on to say how the Shark's fans you dont agree with are just sore losers blah blah blah.

Its you who cant let this all go. We are fine with Murray's loss, yet you aren't fine with us disrespecting a goon and continue to argue

GTFO... I said "go look at YOUR posts and see who you were quoting. How much more clear can it be that I was directing you to the quote?

Since that post, you've not once but repeatedly denied that anyone other than I had said Boulton is a respected player... despite your having responded directly to just such a comment in the first place. THAT is the crystal-clear point.

You could have saved the thread a lot of nonsense by reading carefully before firing off inaccurate comments about what has been said to this point.

He posted "one punch, well done" What the hell is so wrong with that post? What is your point?

Again, same problem. You're not reading carefully, and not connecting posts together. Repeatedly you said I had called out "every Sharks fan in this thread". Post #2 is an example of a Sharks fan I didn't mention at all, because he hasn't made an *** of himself for the world to see. That's the point. Clear enough?

Your post: "Eric Boulton is the man. No need to trash the guy just because he posterized your player." Again, another over exaggeration.

Not really. That's one of the prettiest knockdown punches we've seen in a long while.

I will make my final response in this thread to say this:

Douglas Murray is a tough sob and a damn fine hockey player. He lost this meaningless fight, was not injured, and the Sharks won the game. I couldn't care less about Boulton because frankly, he's a nobody (dime a dozen goon) and this fight had no impact on the game. Murray's fight record is impressive and everyone loses fights from time to time, even the great Boulton. No one was hurt, so I don't know why you guys care so damn much about it.

But you clearly do. Deeply. So really, enjoy yourselves.

"Take a look at post #41, champ."

Pretty sure that doesn't say "Go look at who you quoted in your post, champ."

As for the whole argument about him being respected, One guy makes him respected? One? You already mentioned that post, unless you cant think for yourself, i have asked you many times to show me how he is respected, but now your saying "cuz that guy said he was"

No i said every sharks fan who disagreed with you. That post, the fan was right, so what is your point with bringing that up? One sharks fan doesn't disagree with you, so that makes all of us who do disagree idiots? Some Logic

You obviously dont know what a knock out is, and you obviously no nothing about fighting. How do i know this? Because your calling this a knock out.

These are knock outs smart one...

Its funny how the first video was like the same day, or maybe a day before this fight. It was a clear knock out, yet you call this one the "prettiest KO you have seen in awhile"

I also heard Boulton missed the next game because his hand was so sore

 

[Mike8]

Folks, keep this on topic of the fight itself.

 

[SJSharks2010]

Doug Murray got knocked the **** out, that's all there is to it. I really have no idea what anyone is trying to debate here, because there's nothing debatable about it.

WTF is with people! It isn't a knock out unless the person is you know, UNCONSCIOUS!!!!

I just... for real, are you even reading my posts before you respond?

Where did I call it a knock out?

 

[GoGoSharks]

1) Does no one watch boxing enough anymore to understand the difference between a knock down and a KO?

Murray took a hard punch, went down from it. Solid knock down win for Boulton.

But using the term "KO" (as in Knock-Out).... kind of requires the guy to be knocked out.

As in unconscious or unable to stand back up, not popping back up instantly like it's no big thang.

If this was boxing, Murray would get a standard 8 count, and he would get -1 on the score card for the knock down. It's not really debatable, it's so cut and dry.

2) Why the knock on Boulton for keeping his helmet on?

Murray removes his helmet because of his visor, you are not expected to reciprocate if you don't have one.

As a Sharks fan, I don't expect and don't think it's smart if you take your helmet off to fight Murray.

My bad, i thought you said knockout

 

[Jason MacIsaac]

Murray got dropped by one punch. I don't give a **** if San Jose is a better team....Murray got dropped! Hit in the chin and his legs buckled. Dropped.

Doesn't take much to know the difference between a Knockout, and Knockdown. But unfortunately some on these boards cant tell between the two.

Much like there is a difference between getting "dropped" and getting punched, losing your balance, and falling. Much like there is a difference between getting punched in the chin, and in the cheek.

 

[luiginb]

Sounds like a Shark fan has some sour apples because his boy lost a fight.

Deal with it. Everyone eventually loses.

Not one Sharks fan disagreed about Murray losing the fight in this thread.
