Were they both punishing each other for being disappointing?


Neither has had a good season, I imagine there's frustration there.


Edit:

As players walked out of the dressing room, team captain Claude Giroux walked by and whispered, “Next time, me and Simmonds.”

Giroux is the ****ing best.

LOL luv the giroux comment..

hhhaha

 

[DrinkFightFlyers]

They were fighting over who gets to be traded.

 

[ILoveStephanieBrown]

LOL Giroux is a funny dude.

Anyway, seems like no big deal. Nothing like Fedoruk and Pitkanen.

 

[Embiid]

Meh..doesn't compare to Fedoruk and Pitkanen....

Honestly, if we want Coburn to come back, we want the angry Coburn to come back.

 

[flyershockey]

My guess is Coburn hit RJ with his purse.

More likely his nose.

I know Lindros got into it with a career minor leaguer before during a practice at training camp but didn't Primeau get into one with someone during practice too?

 

[Striiker]

Why can't Lecavalier and Grossmann take each other out...

 

[Cyborg LeClair]

Umberger has looked really pissed off lately. Getting into a lot of post whistle stuff and playing angry. Hope he can keep his anger focused on the opposition and not on his team mates

track suits were moistened

Primeau vs. Chris McAllister:

Primeau vs. Chris McAllister:

Primeau was like Messier as a captain supposedly....he would lay down the law with players on the team when he felt it necessary (slacking). I know Hitch endorsed that kind of leadership with his captains.

Good way to send a message by going after a 6'8" goon.

Deep down there had to have been a collective relief when Primeau came out of that one unscathed.

Thanks a lot, appreciate posting it, but for some reason video isn't working for me.

Someone in the comments of that article called Coburn a pylon. He may not be having a good season, you could even argue that he lost a step after coming back from his first injury but he's still nothing close to a pylon.

Made this, just added the link as to not slow down page load times:
