First.

They took off that shoulder patch with the stick and the flags too didn't they? I'm no weather expert, but I think that logo was inaccurate. The symbol for a hurricane is two flags...

I think one flag indicates a Tropical Storm or just a strong storm in general.

You're correct, one flag indicates a tropical storm and two flags indicate an actual hurricane.

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

screw both Boston and Pittsburgh. I hope they both beat the crap out of each other.

 

[JDinkalage Morgoone]

So, question. I dunno if this was addressed in the other thread, but how is what Keith did to Carter that much different from what McSorely did to Brashear? I know it was 1 vs 2 hand, but swinging a stick at someone's head has no other purpose than intent to injure.

 

[Beef Invictus]

That flag thing is really going to bother me now.

 

[BernieParent]

Penguins adding a flag to their jersey, too:

I know, I know. Too easy.

 

[MrHockey1982]

Who is in goal tonight? LOLLLLLLL!!!

 

[The Couturier Effect]

Duncan Keith had a phone hearing with the NHL today. No word on the results yet.

Well for one the McSorely one was way more violent than Keith's. Keith's was basically a flick of the wrist which still gave Carter a nice cut but McSorely gave Brashear a seizure on the ice and concussion. Carter also slashed Keith's exposed glove hand prior to the slash, Brashear didn't provoke McSorely to do that. McSorely's was also way more blatant, Keith was still getting back to a standing position after picking up his glove. You could argue Keith didn't really have the time to target it, it was more reactionary to where McSorely clearly knew what he was doing and targeted the head.

It still doesn't make what Keith did right and I think he gets a fine or a game at most but I wouldn't even compare the two incidents, other than a stick making contact with another players face they really have nothing in common.

I know it wasn't as violent, but intent to injure is still intent to injure. I'm not saying Keith gets 25+ or whatever McSorely got, but he whacked him in the head.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Jeff Carter used to be a Flyer so he'll get no games.

1 game suspension for Keith as per NHL release. Fair.

 

[JDinkalage Morgoone]

Good, punish stupid **** like that.

 

[FlyingPhilly]

Who is in goal tonight? LOLLLLLLL!!!

Who cares who is in goal? Both Pens goalies are average at best.

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

1 game is fine by me. Players need to be responsible for their sticks; I don't think Keith intended to do exactly what he did, but he still needs to bear the responsibility for his actions.

Edit: just browsed the Hawks board and they're all taking the suspension in stride. Good on 'em.

 

[SuchySays]

Pens will win Game 3. i'd bet my life savings on it.

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

Lucic!

 

[Chinatown88]

Opa Lucic!

[Hollywood Cannon]

Penguins are the best comedy on TV.

 

[Schwarbomb]

Gotta love that krejci line.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

Letang is so overrated its not even funny. The guy has no clue what he's doing in his own zone.

What was his percentage of offensive zone starts?

 

[Random Forest]

Vokoun is every bit as bad as Bryzgalov. Was never convinced he'd have been a better starter for us-- perhaps a slightly better contract though

I know Fleury's had some stinkers, but he's still extremely talented. He needs to be in that net. Vokoun won't get the job done.


Not gonna complain watching the Pens go up in flames, though. Loving it.
