I'm so sick and tired of this shit

 

[Gniwder]

Someone kill Gudas.

The team is more likely to wipe his ass than kill him, lol. 10 ply.

 

[norrisnick]

Because this team is soft and nobody's gonna do anything about it. But you don't think enforcers are necessary and that hitting doesn't matter, lol.

Having someone punch a guy for drilling a guy in the back doesn't prevent the guy from getting drilled in the back.

Enforcers have never prevented anything in the history of hockey.

It will the next game. Plus look at Kostin, he got knocked out of the game by Guda and isn't playing in this one.

You seem to have issues understanding the simplest of concepts, lol.

 

[JediOrderPizza]

This intermission is depressing me with Larkin talking about Kane while he just got injured. Ugh.

If a guy like Kostin is this big bad protector he should have been the safest guy on the ice right? Everyone should have been scared of him...

 

[Roomba With a Bauer]

Enforcers never prevented cheap shots and it's stupid to think they did.

Enforcers existed to lay the pain on opposing players for laying big legal hits on your stars.

What deterred cheap shots back in the day was sending out your fourth liners with orders to injure the other team's stars. Knowing that the other team was going to spear, knee, cross-check, and slash your top liners is what kept the cheapshotting in line.

If a guy put a legal hit on Gretzky, McSorley would fight him. If a guy put a cheap shot on Gretzky, McSorley would fight him but someone was gonna return it in kind to the other team's star.

A dumbass like Gudas will gladly collect a few million dollar paycheck for putting a guy out for a month and eating maybe one good punch in a fight. If the year was 1987 someone would've fought MacTavish before he got off the ice but you can bet one of Zegras or Vatrano would be out of the game before the next period ended.

 

[JediOrderPizza]

We just need Nick Cousins of course,

 

[raymond23]

That crosscheck was so f***ing dirty on Larkin

Nothing deterred cheap shots back in the day. They were FAR more rampant than they are now.

 

[JediOrderPizza]

Captain is out there.

 

[Barry Amsterdam]

larks just need to wear this under his gear at this point

While I'm sure it still happened, the star players were seemingly more protected before the league adopted the instigator rule

 

[JediOrderPizza]

Huh, if you go to the Oilers game you get a cross body bag after McDavid runs it up on us.

Larkin should show up to a game with his back and neck covered in bubble wrap and "f*** Parros" stenciled on his helmet.

 

[NervousPerson]

Make them pay here. The last PP Kane's line looked good.

 

[norrisnick]

I get Ray likes the right side... but it gets awkward on the PP when he's passing to a lefty on the point and neither guy is a threat to shoot since they're crossed up handedness. Like I'd rather have Ray on the point and Ghost in the circle at that point.

 

[Hockeyfan2390]

This team is so damn soft. So tired of watching opponents take liberties with them and they do absolutely nothing about it.

 

[norrisnick]

Goal?

No way to see that...

 

[NervousPerson]

That's in but you can't really see it well.

Edit: That one replay shows it well.

 

[JediOrderPizza]

Oh yeah thats in.

 

[Roomba With a Bauer]

If Gudas keeps acting up he's gonna eat a game misconduct just to manage the game.

 

[The Real Pastafarian]

that was for sure in, but they can't prove it

 

[Hockeyfan2390]

That's in.

 

[norrisnick]

They didn't call anything on the ice right? So a review would have to overturn a no goal call?
