Swedenberg?

Who the **** is silfverberg? Is it some kind of iceberg, but instead of ice, it is silver? So hence the name silfverberg? If i found a silfverberg floating around on the ocean, i would mine it and become rich. /joke

*I'll see myself out now after that crappy joke*

Sorry to hear about Silf's injury. It is a weird coincidence that the two main pieces sent over to the Ducks are now sitting on IR.

 

[SenzZen]

Saw he was hurt, figured it was that play.

 

[Beville]

What a ******.

 

[Senscore]

What did he shake his hand?

 

[Countdown0]

Never like to see a guy get hurt, especially a guy like Silf, who left without causing any drama and played his heart out while he was here. Hope he recovers fully as soon as possible.

Still, I like Cowen getting physical. Its something he can do extremely well, and its good to have a guy on our team that other teams need to watch out for because of clean, hard hits.

 

[ReginKarlssonLehner]

Damn, hoping him a speedy recovery.

He is a pure class act, hope he has a great career.

The night I get a signed jersey of his from an auction he breaks his hand ... Weird.

Could we interest you in a Crosby signed jersey? Or maybe a Kessel perhaps?

I kid I kid.

I hope Silf gets back in the lineup as soon as possible.

I agree. It's unfortunate the results, but it's awesome to see Cowen pinching in in the blue line although he got passed, blast back to the puck, and chuck Jakob down like a sack of potatoes. I mean Silf isn't the fastest skater , but it's still a good play to show how much of a physical beast Cowen can be.

He just has to get back into the flow of the game and get some confidence. Not many people can be that big and still be as good of a skater as him.

Judging by the article the incident you mention is not what broke Silf's hand. It was a slashing.

Let's all take 2 seconds and have a quickie refresher course on what constitutes trolling, shall we?



From the FAQ:

2) Trolling: Do not make posts or threads with the sole purpose of starting a dispute. Note that a person disagreeing with your opinion is NOT trolling; please keep it civil, even if you're sure the other person is wrong. When visiting the team forums, please note that they are fan forums for that team and are here mainly for the enjoyment of that team's fans. Do not visit team forums to cheer against nor demean their team. In other words, if you want to cheer for the Habs and criticize the Bruins, do it on the Habs board. And if someone is doing the opposite on the Bruins board, don't start flaming them to defend the honor of your team. Either ignore it or respectfully disagree and move on. Wishing illness or injury on someone will almost always be regarded as trolling or offensive. We do not permit any forums to be used to demean/insult the fans of other teams. That is considered trolling. Copying posts from one HFBoard team forum to another for this purpose is considered trolling.

TL;DR: don't get an infraction for something stupid.

 

[take a peek]

don't get an infraction for something stupid.

If infractions were handed out for stupidity it would be very quiet around here...

....and way better.


sidenote.......it says "wishing injury on a player", what if they are already injured, I cannot express that I am happy about it?
Like if ....Kaleta, misses a check, goes into boards head first, breaks his jaw...I cant say 'looks good on him'?

I get why part of my post was cleaned up- but not really the part where I said this was a play I'd hope to see more of from Cowen, and that it was bad luck that Silfverberg broke his hand as a result of it.

Didn't wish any ill or celebrate the injury. Just that Cowen needs to use his size and strength more effectively out there, and this play was an instance of him doing just that.

I wouldn't wish an injury on (mostly) anyone, but I agree that I'd like to see more of that from Cowen.

That play was pure Cowen physical beatliness. God knows our team could use a boost somewhere.
