FINALLY... Despres HAS COME BACK to... the NHL

[UnrealMachine]

Weird I thought his hobbies were drinking and gambling. He sounds like a meat head

You need to read between the lines. What the interview didn't reveal is that he only reads books about homebrew or poker odds and only plays casino chess for (beer) money.

I've moved on

But Simon's just a fighter.

Lovejoy is a better skater.

 

[crossicepass]

I hate my team

 

[Terrapin]

But Simon's just a fighter.

I think he had 2 fights last year. But in managements mind, 2 leads to 3, 3 leads to 10, 10 leads to anarchy, and anarchy leads to less of a family-friendly atmosphere. We simply could not go down that road.

I've moved on

Good. I was worried about you. Unhealthy obsession. Just move on. Not Bobby Orr. Gambler & alcoholic.

I think that covers all the bases.

 

[ColePens]

Dat move. Sexy sexy.

 

[Shockmaster]

Cross-checked in the head by Landeskog.

 

[Le Magnifique 66]

Landeskog is a dirty player, I like him a lot but the kid gives a lot of cheap shots.

 

[Shady Machine]

Wow that was incredible. I miss you Simon.

 

[Coastal Kev]

"Despres is a fighter"

 

[sf expat71]

3 games for Landeskog. He's a repeat offender and just cross-checked a player who had no reason to expect to be hit. I guess I'm glad he got something, but could've and should've been more.

 

[Shady Machine]

GOod I'm glad he was suspended but that was some blatant dangerous ****.

 

[xxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Now every time someone does that to Sid and doesn't get suspended, can we say "If it was Simon Despres..."?

 

[IcedCapp]

Should have been 30 games. Dude's neck was red marked. It was a vicious hit. Get that **** out of the game

 

[cygnus47]

It's about as dangerous as it gets. But it's fine if Marc Staal does it to Sid in the playoffs.

You're just biased because you want Simon's babies.

Landeskog is a dirty player, I like him a lot but the kid gives a lot of cheap shots.

He's not the kind of player you'd expect to be a repeat offender...and yet here he is.

Deserved more than 3, but it's clear the NHL isn't going to take cross-checking seriously until someone breaks a neck.

 

[High Flying Birds]

Just, hard, old-fashioned playoff hockey man. Sid's gotta toughen up and start playing like a man.

Says so many cretins on the main board. Yet if it happened to them, they'd never play hockey again and probably have to undergo therapy.

If he was a good ole Canadian boy that grew up on an Ontario sod farm he'd get a pass.
