You didn't say it in that post! If you're saying it now, fine.
Anyway, we disagree. Whatever. I'm just glad that the NHL front office sees it as I did since those kinds of hits need to be taken out of the game, imo.
We were talking about rule 48.1 where it mentions that the player isn't at blame if the opponent (ie, Eller) makes himself vulnerable just before the hit. But he didn't. I was wrong there. That was soon after the hit, before I saw multiple replays. Eller didn't change his trajectory, shift his head position, or anything like that, which I thought he may have done.Cake Boss said:

Watching the Shanahan video and I have no idea what he's talking about.
He just didnt want his car to be set on fire.
Oh look that, a video called Sending The Wrong Message on TSN regarding the suspension.

Am I the only one whose run out of salt to spew over this hit?
I don't see intent to injure, Eller was just vulnerable. I personally think that the hit had only incidental contact with the chin but I haven't seen an conclusive angle yet.
My grief with the suspension isn't so much that it happened as opposed to the fact it is more severe then repercussions to Ferrence or Brown.
At any rate Game 2 is going to be a whole new mess of things for us to fight over.

No but I have this.
Looks like the Sens players before every faceoff last night.

Wrong, they are usually not 5 feet tall, except for Conacher.
To piss Therrien off I guess.
Playoffs, coaches play mind games, to get the other team to call you a fat walrus and lose focus.
Nope. Cherry's a lazy and biased bastard who almost only ever does one series. He'll be in Boston tomorrow, not in Montreal tonight. Frankly, I'm glad. I don't need to hear how Eller is some soft European diving bum and how a "good C'nadian boy" would have got right back up.
He's fucking lying, and changing the wording to fit his framework.
So he's saying if he got a full-on check it would have been legal? Fuck this piece of shit.
He succeeded if that's what he was going for. Did you see Therrien's press conference today? He was absolutely livid, looked like he had a hard time talking about it.
Yep, most upset he has been all year to the press I think.
Don't worry he'll talk about it tomorrow I'm sure.
Hopefully he uses that to motivate the team and keep their focus.
Tonight tells the tale of the Habs in this year's playoffs. They've been hit with dat adversity right away with 3 players going down with injury. Time to see if they fold like a cheap lawn chair or if these unfortunate incidents galvanize them to play above themselves.
A must win for Price. I honestly think Budaj gets Game 3 if we lose tonight and Price has another mediocre game.

Fuck physical presence, we need a 2nd pp
Man I'm feeling really bad about tomorrow's Leafs game. No matter how much hope I muster up all I can think about is how badly outplayed and dominated the Leafs were in game one. I think the Leafs are going to lose in four or five games... Ugh.. Sorry for the lack of faith Leafs-age.
Are Aaron Ward and Craig Button suddenly infallible hockey geniuses? Is that what this has come to?
Craig Button said:
Ok, first off, where's the contradiction? Of course this is a gray area. And a decision needs to be made either way in an instance like this. Legal or illegal.
Secondly, where is Number 2?
:lol
Gimme your address so I can kick your ass back to the old Nourali.
They seem to have about the same credibility as that Shannahan.
Do you want the Kerry Fraser link breaking it down as well?
Anyways I am out to watch the game, I will be here after the game for the salt.
Enjoy.
I live near the 427 highway if that helps. When you open my door you'll see me with a sword, axe, and bow and then we can drive down to the ACC and stretch boxes together.
Same here. Red, Solo, Schuey. You guys know me. Closet fucking Habs fan here.
Fraser was wrong, imo, but at least he made sense and has some credibility.
Goddamnit, Cake Boss! I stayed home for you!
CAKE BOSS IS BACK!!!

Last time that happened to him, Zednik had just been knocked out cold by Boston and it motivated the Habs to then eliminate Boston.
Very stupid of the Sens to keep giving Habs players extra motivation. Its as if they wanna lose.
I really thought Maclean was smarter then that.
Is this confirmed or just what you want? :lol
If confirmed, good on MT for putting DD on that shithole of a third line and letting AGally centre the 2nd line. That icetime for AGally we've been begging for? Well, tonight's the night.

Might just be mind games.
But then again we might need insurance in case Les Schtroumpfs try and do something since they added White and Armstrong.
He dressed Carkner in game 2 against the Rangers last year and it paid off even though everyone thought it was a mistake.
MacLean knows what he is doing, I think he has more than earned the benefit of the doubt.
Possibly.
Doubtful, Habs need to win, not chase Senators around not named Gryba. Armstrong hasn't even been rough or fought this year I don't think. White is the player the Sens should be concerned about, he's a wild dog trying to break off his leash.
Prust should have a permanent A. Also, fuck the "Josh Gorges for future Captain" talk lots of Habs fans have. After Gio, I'd look at Prust or Eller. Eventually, the captaincy belongs to BGally, but there will be someone between Gio and him.
