Someone's mad
Didn't sound like an angry comment to me, more funny than anything else.
Someone's mad
That wasn't even an attempted hit. Pouliot just doesn't have the leg strength to stop himself at that speed so he had to use the boards to his advantage. I'm not even joking when I say that, Pouliot's skating is awwwfuulllll and he falls down so many times a game.
Doesn't matter. Hnidy still lost.
Honestly, I have NO idea how people in Boston can tolerate that announce team.
Bout 2 of the series - Pouliot vs Ference
Appologies for the over the top commentary and the obvious mistakes they made, but it's the only clip I could find.
Closer than the first fight, but I'd give the edge to Ferrence in this one. Props to him for taking on the bigger man and defending his teammate after the Pouliot flying elbow attempt. As a Hab fan, I hope this is the last we see of Pouliot in this series and that Halpern is ready to go next game.

They rant and rave about no penalty when there WAS a penalty ("there was no arm up after that hit..."...yes, there was), they get into Pouliot's struggles, blah blah. It's just...bad.
Having said that, I kinda gained respect for Pouliot for making an attempt to get his helmet off.

Wow that announcing was embarrassing. After those two morons had finally calmed down from spewing their ridiculous bias garbage, they show a replay of the hit and the ref has his arms up and he says the refs didn't originally have his arm up.

The whole schtick with the NESN team is that you're basically watching the game with a bunch of Bruins fans. They make no apologies for that, in fact they play it up in their advertising. I have no problem with it.
That said, Brickley embarrassed himself saying the ref didn't have an arm up just after they clearly showed him with his arm up.
Doesn't matter shouldn't be fighting with a visor if your opponent doesn't have one too.
With all the garbage we've heard out of Montreal over the last month, it's fitting.
I've noticed NESN having horrible announce teams and not just in hockey. I hate Eckersley's attempts to cover baseball. Guy talks about cheese all game and doesn't know a single non Red Sox player.

no, he didnt.
not at all.
Yes...so he should take some punches to the face and not hit back while he's taking his visor off? Right...Doesn't matter shouldn't be fighting with a visor if your opponent doesn't have one too.

As for the 2nd fight, I was at the game on Monday (3 rows behind the penalty box so I had a perfect view of the fight) - Pouliot tried to remove his visor when fighting Ferrence, and Ferrence attempted to punch him a few times, so he stopped removing his visor and fought back. Ferrence isn't much of a fighter either way, but I felt it was a dick move since Pouliot was trying to be a man.
In the heat of the moment, when a player doesn't give you the choice to fight or not, you don't have the time to skate away and take your visor off...
Thats why Jerry Remy and Don Orsillo are the announcers, not Dennis Eckersely.
Lol, I remember when I was a kid (late 80's) my dad used to complain about the Gord Kluzak / Derek Sanderson duo on NESN. Good to see times haven't changed much.
Tough to watch that feed if you're a fan of the opposing team, easier to ignore if you're a Bruins fan.

If this whole thread being full of people thinking Wisniewski won doesn't convince you, maybe 79% of people who watched the fight on hockeyfights.com will: http://www.hockeyfights.com/fights/104659
Seriously, how deluded can you be...
