I don't understand how that's anything like the Hall hit. Pierre's an idiot.

Anyways, great win!!

 

[The Couturier Effect]

So how long till a thread on that hit is on the main board?

Completely clean. If he gets suspended, I hope Snider rips Shannahan a new one.

 

[zarley zelepukin]

I thought maybe the Z hit was a bit late, but I'm not sure. Definitely not a kneeing major, or even a kneeing minor. He didn't do anything to target Perreault's knees.

 

[BringBackHakstol]

That's a joke of a 5 minute major

 

[MiamiScreamingEagles]

(Question above) 5-minute majors can be enforced for certain penalties: kneeing, butt-ending, spearing, crosschecking, etc.

An automatic game misconduct shall also be applicable whenever a player is assessed a major penalty for any of the infractions listed in the Reference Tables – Table 6 – Summary of Major Penalties that Result in an Automatic Game Misconduct. See specific rule numbers for complete descriptions.

You posted at 10:09. My clock still reads 10:09.

Wild guess: now.

In fairness, while it may have been a nice clean hit, it was completely unnecessary.

 

[The Couturier Effect]

YES!!!!

True. Kinda like the hit that Englund (I think?) put on Briere last year. Personally, I like teams playing hard till the clock hits triple zeros.

Edit: My bad, Vitale with the hit.

 

[Krishna]

Still not sure what Ovechkin was trying on that deke

Think it was Joe Vitale

OV has given Makaveli and Moen in Glory some good material tonight.

Enjoy it while you can guys, we'll be **** again on Saturday.

Same. Role-players make their living off aspects of the game that aren't based on skill and offense. Suggesting that they ease up on legal plays is the same as suggesting teams "don't run up the score", which in my opinion is only justifiable if little kiddies are playing.

Now if it was a goon taking a big run at a pure skill player, different story.

 

[MiamiScreamingEagles]

Washington Post:

Mathieu Perreault declined to talk to reporters post game but was walking without any noticeable limp.

Anyone watching sport night? Gagne is all about the playoffs and feeling some good hockey

"I know what it takes to play in Philly" - gagne

 

[BernieTheGreat1]

Gagne tonight reminded me of vintage Gagne ... if this wasn't just an adrenaline rush fueling his play, and he continues to look this sharp and avoid injuries this trade will be the steal of the century. Also he is going to do wonders for couturiers development.
