GDT: Game #36: Panthers vs Coyotes- 7:00pm (AZ) - Scripps

[LittlePipes]

No doubt Zucker deserved to be suspended...and next time, rather than 'ease' up on Cousins, just crush him and get your monies worth. When players cross the line and the 'refs' won't police correctly by calling a penalty, the players have to police themselves so Zucker absolutely should have boarded Cousins.

Next time, just get your monies worth...maybe if Cousins misses a few games with an injury (ala Concussion), maybe he'll learn a lesson and not hit a player in the head when he's down on his knees.

In the past our team wouldn't have done a thing, I'll take this response all day long...we're not taking shit from anyone...love it.

the NHL video from the “dept of player safety” or whatever the bs name is mentioned cousins “was injured by the hit”. Really? Didnt he return to the game? geez.

You think that was a standard shoulder check? Yiu really can't be serious??

As serious as the Leafs inability to play in the playoffs and manage their team, I'd say.

Also textbook charging.

Yeah, that too.

I’m actually surprised the nhl didn’t take away our 1st rounder with this suspension too

I have made my peace with there being no justice in the NHL world but there does seem to be something different in the NHL approach to the Coyotes. Never in the history of sport has a league done more damage to a franchise for so little than that 1st & 2nd round forfeiture.

I know it is not perfectly equivalent but...Travis Boyd beat Josh Manson pretty good so rather then letting him pass, Manson checks him in the numbers into the wall and destroys Boyd's season. Zucker's was more obviously, intentional and easy to surmise the motivation was revenge/sticking up for a teammate but whether you are boarding for revenge or boarding because you are lazy or slow or whatever...seems like there should be consequences especially when a guy loses a season for it.

Anyway, maybe not a perfect example and probably every fan feels this way about their team but have always felt the NHLs random wheel of justice falls heavier on the Coyotes than other teams.

Not sure what the Leafs have to do with this but if you want to see a shoulder to shoulder check with a 5 minute major check out McMann hit from last night. Zucker hit straight in the number, thats not even up for debate.

I think you have to consider whether it's a hockey play gone wrong or just a really dumb play. Zucker was not a hockey play in any way.

 

[Jakey53]

No and I might add, it’s annoying when you ask these stupid questions.


Hence one game.

I didn't ask a question, rather stated the obvious. You think everything is stupid except your asshat's posts.

Dumba is in the house

Would be nice if our goalie could make those saves

 

[Llewzaher]

If that was the Islander goalie that would have been a save

I looked back and by God, you're correct! Let this go down in the annals of time..... Jakey was correct!

Regardless, you are still wrong with your statement because "we" would include me and I would not be calling for a five game. However, I'd add that the analogy of Keller in place of Cousins is absurd and could at least understand some clamoring for a five game in a such ridiculous scenario as that. where a highly skilled player (who doesn't take cheap shots) is boarded unwittingly.

 

[Jamieh]

You folks should look up HNIC 1st intermission tonight with Bieksa. Good piece on Cousins

The NHL could use a "persistent infringement " type rule to deal with idiots like Cousins who is the common denominator when poop has gone stupid this season. Just look at a few situations and maybe try to figure out why Zucker went off his meds for a few seconds , then deal with the root cause rather than the symptoms.

 

[Tom Polakis]

Wow, thanks. I saw a lot of this sentiment in the discussion on the main board, as well. When he was here for those two seasons, I wouldn't describe anything about his game as dirty, but apparently, he has been since then.

I wish Zucker would have dropped his gloves and pounded Cousins instead of that stupid hit.
