David Backes vs Clayton Stoner

[Dr Jan Itor]

Message received: Stoner's a hot headed dumbass with no class.

Class, class, class, class, class. Honestly, the most hideously overused term on this site. I'm sure Backes would've been "classless" if he would've connected.

Oh no a slash. And Janssen's an idiot, we didn't need to play him. But these plays weren't relevant to the scrum at the end and the fight.

You don't two hand a guy for getting hit. We aren't just going to lay down because Oshie and Backes are talented players. It doesn't matter you don't start **** and not back it up.

Nice contribution. If you read my next post you'll understand I said that Stoner was asking for a fight going after Oshie.

i love the edge Backes plays with, just as i like it in Kesler. Difference is Backes is more willing to back it up with his fists. He isn't really a fighter, so of course he's going to get tuned once in a while. No big deal. Koivu would have looked a lot worse had he picked a fight with, say, Winchester.

Updated message: Backes is Stoner's beyotch. Thanks for the 4 points.

Here's a fact Blues fans are going to have to face. Your team wants to play chippy, there will be retribution. They did and there was. It was a 2 game beating. On the scoresheet and on the fight card.

Cool just like Eric Johnson who slashed Clutter well after the play cuz he got hit. And Janssen who went after Staubitz when he was on the ice hurt.

You're comparing incidents during the game to incidents after the game was already won.

watch the scrum again and count how many blues had their hands on Stoner at once. that would piss me off, too. talk about class: Staubitz goes headfirst into the boards and Janssen immediately wants to fight him. You really have no ground to talk about class here. Sorry.

What? And Zanon two handed Steen in front before things escalated, no? Oshie did nothing to warrant a fight from Stoner which he was looking for.

Blue's announcer: "OK, Oshie's got Stoner but he's gotta be careful, that's how he ... his ankle..."

speaks to this "class" you're such an expert on.

Just watched the video again:

Stoner wasn't doing anything to Oshie until until Backes started with the gloved punches. Don't poke the bear.

Okay i didn't know incidents just disappeared after they happened. Also watch the video cuz Oshie comes in and bowties Stoner and then while Stoner is being held back by Oshie and someone else Backes punches him in the face and then got what he deserved.

 

[TheGooooch]

Steen tripped Stoner it looks like right off the face off and gave him a few shots, that was why Stoner reacted the way he did it seems.

 

[MK9]

Ol Blues Clueless here needs to watch that vid again. Stoner getting held back, Backes (hows this for classes) glove punches Stoner in the face.

Take your beating and whining and get lost.

Well we played like utter crap most of this game and had no business winning. Last game I felt we outplayed the Wild for the most part. A weak call allowed the PP an opportunity late and the Blues fell victim to not giving 100%.

And as far as the fighting goes, D'gastini won his fight imo, and the Janssen fight was a wash, Backes lost his. Both teams played chippy and thats what happens.

And the entire time Stoner wanted Backes who was throwing gloved punches while he was being held back? No one said anything about Oshie? No one went after Oshie, he jumped on Stoners back and then tried to hold him while Backes punched.

Stoner was roughing up Oshie and vise versa, things seemed to settle down and then Stoner seemed still angry at Oshie, gave him a last punch/shove, and if im not mistaken he was missing one glove and his helmet. My take was he wanted to go with Oshie. Which is why Backes went in there and dropped em. Backes felt in the heat of the moment he was standing up for Oshie, not a fighter who was also has returned from an injury and this was in no way 'classless' for what he did.

Fair assessment.

bumped for truth.

watching the video it looked like D'gastini landed a couple. Live it didn't look like anything. I can live with that--just happy Barker has shown some emotion lately. If nothing else maybe he can contribute in the same way as Brodziak: by breaking someone's hand on his head.

 

[Mike Liut]

Backes plays tough, he just isn't a great fighter. He's one of the top 5 PF's in the game and will stick up for his teammates all day long. Great leader and great player.

 

[Mr Dangles]

Actually the more I watch video Stoner may have wanted Backes. I don't know. It's hard to tell. Either way Stoner was looking for a fight for sure.

 

[Celtic Note]

Yeah, what's the justify on that?

Its likely that Payne was trying to send a message to his club. The Blues need a wakeup after the way they played against Minny.
