Mitchell hits Letang with his own helmet

The no name brand guy taking free runs at the franchise Ekblad all night too ? Thornton has his number too oh boy Pens going to be hurt boys come Monday

Lol. You sound like a groupie. Nobody is scared of the Florida ****ing Panthers...lol

Oh big deal. what's he going to do, grab him from behind when he's talking to a ref and punch his head into the ice? Despres can hold his own. Speaking of no name guys hitting franchise players, what was your opinion of the slash to Crosby's wrist by Bolland? I guess you're just as outraged about that, since no-name guys shouldn't be making dirty hits on franchise players?

Besides, if the Pens were really interested in playing that kind of game they'd just call up PL3.

I bet all the Pens are just shaking in their skates that Thornton will be in the lineup tomorrow. Unless Thornton decides to mug someone again (which would get him kicked out of the league), he's not going to do ****.

 

[Vikke]

Two minutes for you can't do that. Would've been perfect in this situation.

Thornton can jump him, he'll be right back to running Ekblad after the penalties are over.

 

[vadim sharifijanov]

feels good to see the mitchell/bieksa pairing together again.

 

[Choralone]

For all the sturm and drang, it doesn't look like he even connected.

It's the intent that matters chief.

Bolland isn't a no name guy. Slashes happen every game. The Penguins do them a bunch. The Panthers do. Every team does.

Kinda Happy Gilmore-ish...

191 posts before someone mentioned Happy Gilmore.

Zero mentions of Milbury shoe incident.

And no mention of Malkin concussing Mitchell eleventy two years ago to absolve Mitchell.

You've failed me HF!

Actually chief, there is a big difference if it hits or not in regards to suspensions, fines etc.

 

[Pierre from Orleans]

Yeah, sure it is. Have you ever been hit with a helmet or stabbed with a knife? I have. There is a tremendous difference.

I was hit by an almost exact helmet as that a couple of weeks ago. A complete accident where someone went to throw a helmet into the trunk of the car and the strap caught on the button on the sleeve of their denim jacket and it nailed me in the head. I was stabbed in the leg trying to break up a fight in the 90's.

What you are saying is that you cannot differentiate between an intentional act and an accident and you don't think there is any difference? So if someone accidentally steps on your toe do equate that with someone trying to run you down with their car?

In no way was that an accident.

By taking free runs, you mean making clean hits, right?

 

[PM]

I love Mitchell but I'm pretty sure that exact play resulted in a two game suspension for Mark Fistric when he did it a few years so the same should happen now. I have zero faith in the disciplinary committee though and it probably won't even get a fine.

 

[Dying Alive]

Bolland isn't a no name guy. Slashes happen every game. The Penguins do them a bunch. The Panthers do. Every team does.

He is relative to Crosby.

And hitting happens every game. Every team does it. Why is it different when it's a no name guy hitting Ekblad? Besides, Ekblad is 6'4" 216 lbs. Farnham is 5'10", 188 lbs. If at any time the hitting got all that egregious Ekblad could have defended himself. It wasn't like some giant enforcer was running around hitting a small skilled guy.

 

[Stjonnypopo]

I thought it was hilarious. Classless and it has no place in this game, but it was funny nonetheless.

And it's pants on head logic like this that's gonna lead to a total clown show of idiocy both sides next game.

 

[Choralone]

Frankly, a swinging stick is much more potentially dangerous than a swinging helmet. It's the novelty of the situation that makes this noteworthy.

Then let me beat you over the side of the face with a helmet and visor for awhile, and lets see how well you're feeling afterwards.

Let's actually test this theory of your's Adam Savage.

So long as he can return the favor afterwards with a stick - or even with his fists, I bet he'll take your deal.

That's a different scientific theory all together thus completely irrelevant to the given statement posted above, Thus he gets nothing and likes it.

Probably better than if you used a hockey stick!

It isn't. I was just pointing out that calling Bolland a no name guy is kind of weird. Sure he's not Crosby, but then who is!
