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

[CanaFan]

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.

Eh, if Marchand was the type of player who would man up and fight back then I'd agree. But he'd just turtle and then spear/board/high stick you the next time you play each other.

Like I say, ****** move but to a player who has made a career of ****** moves. Seems hypocritical to grant him respect when he has rarely ever shown it himself.

 

[y2kcanucks]

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.

Pun intended?

 

[Johnny Canucker]

I'm going to the game tomorrow. First one in a while. Not super excited, tickets were free lol.

Worried if we win tomorrow nobody gets fired , then we will go back to losing the next 5.

 

[Jack Tripper]

Pun intended?

it was certainly ballsy

That's great. That makes Marchand the coward and laughing stock who is humiliated for turtling. All Prust did here is take his team that was being humiliated in the game and humiliate them further.

A guy turtles and your team gets to call him on it for the next however long that you play him - like guys started doing to Avery after the various instances. Spear a guy in the balls and his team has one over on you. It's just a selfish, counterproductive tantrum.

You're totally right, it's just ... I have a hard time caring all that much. This team has heaped embarrassment on itself all year, this really just feels like a small drop in a very big bucket.

I'm also a person that believes you reap what you sew. If Marchand had a cleaner history or at least fought his own battles then he'd get the benefit of my doubt. He's been the "laughing stock" plenty of times already and it doesn't seem to bother him any. Prust's love tap seemed to bother him plenty.

Pretty much.

There is pretty much nothing to like about this team right now. They stink out loud, and having tools like Dorsett and Prust skate around acting like clowns after they've just been embarrassed on the ice only makes it worse.

Quite the squad you've put together here, Jimbo.

 

[JuniorNelson]

It's like a five dollar fine in the real world.

This is the same garbage the Bruins would do with Lucic and Horton and whoever else in their heyday, except this team has the bonus of just being horrible on pretty much every front.

 

[The Jesus*]

Haha, that's just great. Atta boy, Prust.

 

[Fat Tony]

Lucic

Speak of the devil... he has that same je ne sais quoi that Benning seems to love so much.

 

[CouverNucks]

it was certainly ballsy

In Prust's defense, Marchand is a pecker

 

[nutbar]

Marchand was faking it, he doesn't have any balls.

 

[CanaFan]

Winner winner.

 

[ProstheticConscience]

Also this.

 

[PG Canuck]

Sabres going to be coming off a loss and gonna be mad.

Perfect.

 

[Hyzer]

im going to this game.

[wonton15]

Blow out please. Or get the loser point

 

[JA]

It's West Coast Express night.

It's like a five dollar fine in the real world.

It's 0.2% of his salary. The equivalent to an $80 fine for someone that makes 40k/year. I would spear so many people in the nuts at $80 a pop.

I can see that.

 

[me2]

hopefully benning can pick murray's mind for tanking tips

 

[polarbearcub]

Lots of great memories with those 3 guys. Back when going to games was a treat, and the arena had atmosphere.

 

[Steveorama]

That whole promotion is a joke. Listen carefully to the wording... "if a player scores five goals, John Doe COULD win $1 000 000". Sounds like they've left a little wiggle room for just in case it does actually ever happen.

They changed that wording many years ago for a simple reason.
Safeway is insured for ONE million dollar prize per season.
If, miraculously, it happened twice in the same season, there would be a random draw between the two, to pick a winner.
No Canuck has ever scored 5 goals in a game, so the scenario is incredibly unlikely. But lawyers get very rich on incredibly unlikely scenarios.
That is why Safeway had them change the wording from "will win" to "could win".

Real clash of the Titans tonight. The Intentional Tank vs the Unintentional Tank. Should be doozie.
