Zucker taking Vengeance against Nick Cousins after his hit on Valimaki (suspended 3 games)

[krutovsdonut]

Why aren't Bruins fans allowed to call out gross behavior? Who is your favorite team so we an all point and laugh at your hypocrisy, as you seem to be attempting to do.

you need to pay better attention. if you did, you'd know the answer to your question and understand why i gave that particular bruins fan shit. maybe look more closely next time before you leap.

No defending Cousins (overall) but you can’t make a revenge hit like that and not expect to lose games. I‘d rather see a guy high sticked nose to nose than a hit like that from behind.

Calling an E-con major smart is comical.

 

[BlueOil]

play stupid games, win stupid prizes cousins

cheapshot responded to with a cheapshot, don't really mind zucker standing up for his teammate in response to that

 

[Devilsfan118]

Hope that was really painful in the moment for Cousins.

I'm sure he'll be fine but he deserves a bit of his own medicine

Props to Zucker. Willing to get suspended to respond to a dirty hit instead of allowing referees to fail at their jobs is how you create team camaraderie.

Bieksa just character assasinated Cousins on HNIC and he couldn't be more right. Called him a rat and everything haha

 

[wgknestrick]

Eye for an eye. I'd award Zucker the Lady Byng for that hit.

Instant re-payment and typical NHL to only punish the revenge.

 

[jackjohnson]

Cousins should get Torres treatment from the league but i know NHL is a circus act where they suspend zucker and not cousins. Seems both NHL refs and DOPS are incompetent

At this point it is a lay up.. loved seeing the panel take a stance on something instead of their normal boring stuff

cousins sucks, but let's take a scientific look at what is going on. the reaction time of a neuron to visual input is 180 ms. MIT research concludes that it takes the average human 390 to 600 ms to react to road hazards, not including the time it takes to physically turn the wheel or apply the brakes.

57.6 pokes at the puck during a clearing attempt
57.4 collapses arms inward
57.2 collision


if he had the benefit of time to premeditate the hit as suggested by many, he would have done far more damage as the opportunity presented itself. if anything, he showed restraint. the defender goes to their knees to block the clear, cousins is focused on the puck. when he sees the defender's new position, he has 400 ms to react. simply not enough for a human to change trajectory in a meaningful way. collapsing his arms inwards suggests an "oh shit" moment.

an experiment-how fast can you react when you are expecting a change in visual?

after about 50 tries i got down to 197 ms.

typical was 220-230 ms.

Sorry but Cousins is a dirty player with previous history and could have prevented that hit. Not just me saying it but most on this forum including getring character assassinated on CBC national broadcast. Cousins is another Torres and NHL is too stupid to not see this

Good for Bieksa for calling Cousins a dirty rat.

 

[jackjohnson]

Yeah, because it's such an excellent thread full of great takes about wishing concussion and injuries to players. So please, continue your moral crusade and call out the other lame comments instead of adding one more lame comments.

I know cousins plays for the panthers but this guy should not be in NHL anymore. He is a rat similar to Torres and hits to hurt. His reputation is already destroyed among his peers and media

Good for Bieksa for calling Cousins a dirty rat.

Loved it and he was 100% right to do so.

Not only that, the panel questioning the player safety dept is long overdue as well.

I read your post. It was stupid. Maybe post better next time.

Yeah, I think a vote of no confidence is in order.

I was a big DoPS supporter under Shanahan as they created and enforced Rule 48, but the department has significantly declined

It’s not Parros, who is just a figurehead and an eventual sacrifice

so a bruins fan thinks a post giving bruins fans shit was bad

huh.

sure. if that's all you got from it, its probably best we can expect from your posts. Thanks for contributing.

am i supposed to be answering something? you have yet to get out of the gate buddy. just lame hypocritical scolding where you didn't identify yourself as a bruins fan who regularly shit talks other teams.

If the Florida Panthers had fans I'm sure they'd be pissed

If I'm the owner I step in and pay that money right back to Zucker and then send a strongly worded letter to a media outlet for the incidents that have gone on in the league and how little protection and safety there is for them and the non action by the league for the dirty hits during and after the games is the bigger concern than retaliation.

Retaliation is going to keep ramping up because the players are going to feel as though that's the only way they can see the proper punishment handed out as a reaction to the dirty hits.

That is worse for the league for that to be the way it has to be.

This stuff gets swept under the rug so quickly. Larkin literally spoke out and nothing, same for Guds etc.

I generally despise Kevin Bieska and his cocky attitude towards I'm right and everyone else is wrong bs but he's dead on.

I didn’t see it...
why would Panthers fans be pissed because Bieska expressed his opinion?
