Normally Phaneuf is clean. He throws big hits, but he doesn't know when to. He pinches at awful times and costs his team goals. It benefits the other team mostly, see Krejci's ot goal, and it's usually clean, so he just ends up being a moron.
In this play, he's just dirty and a moron.
I used to be a broadcaster and still do it occasionally for fun.
As a broadcaster you are trained to call the game from a neutral point of view and call the game without prejudice openly and honestly.
The rules are being severely bent here.
Media has to stop tilting and start being real.
Fans see through altered media agenda now..
ps: thorntons hit was tame as to what happened tonight on the ice in toronto. If Thorntons off season buddy doesn't cave it's probably 2 or 4 minutes for roughing, that's it. Orpik deserves an acadamey award for that one last night, he even wears a visor and it is not clear if he even took a glove to the chin or not. It wasn't like 22 tried to murder the guy, I think a 2 games suspension is fair ( not really) only because Orps went out on a stretcher. No stretcher, and it's a double minor at best.
The media was bored the other night had nothing better to do than make a mole in to a mountain.
Hopefully Shanihan's not wearing rose colored glasses when he speaks to 22. Thorts obviously felt bad, I mean it was his off season friend that got slapped two times in the visor. Really, it wsn't a big deal if you compare any of the other hits, even Scotts a month ago on Erickson and the hit on Erickson yesterday , with the puck 20 meteres away was a BRUTAl non-call.
Tonight Phaneuff should get 10 games minimum..that was an attempt to Injure intentiaonally!!
We better hope Johnny is ready for Tuesday..
Some combo of Chara, Seids, Krug, Bart, Miller, Morrow, and Warsofsky. Holy God.
Going beyond talent, take away the 22-23+ minutes both Dougie and Boychuk can play.

Most NHLers will never forget their first goal. Kevan Miller will never remember it.
Phaneuf to media 'I turned into him......by mistake......fast game'
*******.

Someone (Chiarelli, I guess) must be saluted as there seems to be no end to the riches the Bruins possess at defense.
Instead of relying on...
Shane Hnidy (liked him, of course)
Mike Mottau
Greg Zanon
Matt Hunwick (liked him)
Steven Kampfer (liked him)
Wade Redden
Aaron Johnson
...there are actually young guys possibly ready to step in for the long haul.
anyone have a good explaination on what the hell phaneuf was doing on the iginla goal? I swear to god he makes some strange decisions out there.
