Post-Game Talk: Sabres 2 @ Canucks 5 | 7/12/15

[Canadian Canuck]

3-2 Buffalo in Overtime. Keep the loser points coming

 

[SeawaterOnIce]

Is it time to think seriously about releasing McCann and Virtanen to the World Junior team and call up a couple of bodies from Uitca as fill-ins?....would help their development a lot more than this tire-fire in VanCity.

No cap.

 

[Zaddy91]

Anyone else remember buffalo playing really physical last game.

I think were toast

[Zaddy91]

Wow. Kypreos must have lol'd hard

 

[KeninsFan]

Ok Benning I like the trade now.

 

[John Belushi]

Still think it was a chickensh*t move by Prust. Would've rather seen him throw a sucker punch if anything.

No no you wouldnt

 

[CanaFan]

Dick move but Marchand's got a long enough list of even dickier moves so I'm really struggling to give a flying ****.

And great comment by Prust. Probably 90% of the NHL agrees.

 

[PG Canuck]

Just not surprised a fake tough guy like Prust did it. Hug it out some more, Prusty.

 

[DFAC]

Lol Prusty

 

[Edo]

For those curious, the tickets for the WCE game have dropped down to $25. Probably $20 tomorrow.

 

[John Belushi]

No no you wouldnt

Care to elaborate on why you think so? Any type of purposeful stickwork is despicable. A shot to the nads is that and much more. Disrespectful.

A sucker punch or dirty hit I could understand. This, I cannot.

You don't strike me as one who's played the sport, however. I shouldn't be surprised you'd like this play.

 

[VeteranNetPresence]

if it was any other player than Marchand I would have had a problem with it

Well when I think of sucker punch I think of Bertuzzi Moore.

Anyone but Marchand, who has slew footed, and submarine'd his fair share. and yea I'd be pretty disgusted but depends what sucker punch is to you, grabs him by the sweater and pops him with time to realize what's happening? I donno seems way more violent and gutless and risk of career ending injury increases exponentially.

I should care more but it's Marchand

I wish I got to play, oh god how I do

You don't need to have played the sport to know that a player like Marchand follows his own code. Just like Sean Avery.

A Canuck player actually doing something outright dirty to a dirtbag that makes it his business to piss you off? I think I'm ok with that.

A sucker punch or a dirty hit has career ending possibilities. A stick to the junk does not and he played a shift afterwards.

Suck it up buttercup.

I honestly don't even know how to respond to this, is this an attempt at trolling?

A spear and a sucker punch aren't even on the same level, are you sure you know what a sucker punch is?

 

[John Belushi]

A sucker punch may cause more damage but I can respect that a lot more than a stick to the nuts. No point in arguing with you folk if you feel something like that should be applauded.

 

[Win One Before I Die]

I turned the game off at this point, what did Marchand do to get speared?

 

[Hammer79]

Remember the year after the cup win, Bruins were in town and Marchand skated around pretending to lift the cup? Yeah, I think we're even for that.

 

[Hit the post]

Did Sean Avery ever try to physically injure another player though?

No one's applauding it, or at least most aren't. We're just saying we don't mind that much cause Marchand's a pos who has done similar in the past. It was a dick move by Prust but I have trouble getting too upset about it tbh.

 

[Intangibos]

Tickets are finally a price I can afford but I no longer have an interest in going.

I wouldn't mind if this team was properly managed and coached. We don't have to win if we play an exciting up-tempo game, as long as we're going through a transitional period. Instead we play boring dreadful 16 shots per game hockey, while losing, and not rebuilding properly.

You don't have to bomb on him or whatever - if you want to get at him that badly, just do like enforcers used to and just start throwing so he doesn't have a choice and don't stop until the linesmen or his teammates pull you off. A supposed character tough guy like Prust spearing some five foot rat in the groin is embarrassing.

Rats get treated like rats....hope someone else feels the $5k is money well spent and does it again.
