Did anyone here Adam Gold interview with Rod this afternoon.
Brindy is always awesome but interesting comments on fight.

Quotes for us at work?

I listened to it yesterday. The gist of it was that Rod said that after talking to Svech, he said Ovi's account of "Svech asking to fight" was wrong. He said he's pissed because once Ovi dropped his gloves, Svech felt like he had to fight, when he didn't. He was basically putting the onus on Ovi for starting it and pretty much putting Svech in a spot where he felt like he couldn't say no.

He didn't deny or imply that Svech wasn't a willing participant, just commenting on the situation leading up to it.

The funnies thing was at the end of the interview, Gold asked Rod about Rod fighting Barnaby after Rod scored a goal. Rod was clearly agitated. He said "It wasn't a fight. He jumped me after I scored a goal. I'm still pissed about that. He jumped me and now he's on TV telling people he beat me in a fight. I'm still pissed about that."

Rod's so damn competitive he can't let it go. :laugh:

I caught some shows on Sirius NHL Radio yesterday, and to a man they were pushing the narrative "The kid was the one who asked to fight and got what he deserved". Some were even saying Svetch was "going after Ovi" the whole series. Don't usually listen to any of the shows so honestly don't even know who the guys are and if they are just clowns - but it was interesting they all just threw that Svetch was the instigator out here as facts. Actually Barnaby was one of the guys on one of the shows.

Man it's annoying how many of the talking heads are going with the scenario that Svetch is "Going after Ovi" and ignoring/missing that Ovi and company have been after him from puck drop in Game 1.

And on top of that Holtby's nonsense of calling Svetch dirty when his teammates are Ovetckin, Wilson and Orpik. Faulk needs to nail him right between the eyes with a shot Thursday. After he puts one top shelf on him.

Edit trying again lol


Hope he’s alright regardless of when he comes back, not worth risking his health for one playoff series in his first year.


As for Ovi’s hand, the man has played two postseasons on a fractured foot and still ran around, I think he’d be fine. I hope

Hand injuries tend to be more impactful than foot injuries, if I'm not mistaken. The latter of which being mostly pain, the former being more impactful from a functional standpoint.

If you watch the video at the 1:40 mark it looks like Ovi says "you want to fight" or "you want to go" and Svech nods: . There is no doubt that Svech was a willing participant in the fight, but if the debate is about who challenged who - I think that's an open question.


I would have thought they would have been speaking in Russian.

Exactly. Any "proof" that illustrates anything spoken in English is probably off-base.

ahhhhh stupid ad blocker! what does it sayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy lol

DeHann's cleared to play, Ferland's " a ways away" and Svech is obviously out, but Foegle drove Svech to the arena this morning and he was "in good spirits."

It's sounding like this concussion isn't one of the bad ones, relatively speaking. Based off RBA's update and today's news.

Are we really trying to continue with this "Ferland is a wuss" narrative? The dude is seriously messed up. Sounds like back issues from earlier reports. That guy is not taking it easy because his ego is hurt or its a little bump. f***ing ridiculous to speculate some bullshit like that.

The point is it looks like Ovi asks him a question, Svech nods, and the gloves come off.

I think this is what happened; Ovi asked and Svech nodded yes but was expecting some more lead up into it but instead Ovi instantly jumped him. Agreeing to it or not but Svech looked genuinely surprised and didn't even get his gloves off until Ovi had him wrapped up.

@Anton Dubinchuk You need to change your username to Sensei Lewis :laugh:

Though imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, and I respect Sensei Lewis very much, I am no wolf in sheep’s clothing.

EDIT: I got confused what thread this was in, sorry, thought I was on the main boards. I am fond of this username having had it for a long time.
