What I like most about it is that Sherwood received the mitt to the face like a man instead dropping to the ice and turtling

At least he had the gonads to take one, the Turtle pee’d his panties before Zack could even get one in

He was mid-motion looking up at the sky in despair from missing the rebound just as the fist came in

He presented that jaw undefended on a platter for punchy. Who wouldnt have taken that swing?!?!

Don't forcibly dig or poke at the goalie when he has it. Sure, no whistle yet. Doesn't matter. Do it and pay the price.
Too much from Lucic? Ya. Two games is harsh. A five minute would have been fine. You could even do a two and five.
Goalies will not be pleased.

Lucic received 4 minutes for the incident from the refs.

It's the DPS we're concerned with here.

It was better when you could beat the shit out of guys and just get a penalty. Now it can alter a guys career ffs.

No wonder 5'10 dmen are thriving in todays NHL

Yeah it’s a different game for sure. I like the speed and skill but I miss the anger. I miss the rivalries and the physicality of years past. Everybody and their dog is gravely concerned about getting a concussion. Now you have children with alledgedly multiple concussions from heading soccer balls or getting bumped in a lacrosse game. Everyone feeling slightly dizzy from doing anything physical now automatically has a concussion.

Fighting will be an automatic ejection within the next ten years

Fighters Montador, Belak and Rypien committed suicide

Fighter Kordic died of a combination of cocaine and steroids holed up in a hotel room scrapping with the police.

History of drug use eventually killed Probert

Boogaard drug overdose dead

Guys like Nilan have struggled. Keith Primeaus head is s mess

The list goes on. Carcillo is s mess

You not seeing a correlation with people who have had few fists bounced off their face consistently?? I don’t know about you but I do

He never played contact sports. He rode around in his spandex as a child.

I dunno, one thing I don't miss is a guy like Scott Stevens having a career. I don't think he ever "answered the bell" to any equivalent degree to the number of dirty hits he threw.

How could a guy like that answer the bell for almost killing Paul Kariya in the Final without even getting a penalty called? No fight is going to give Kariya his career back. Instead, Stevens fought 1-2 times a year, and was considered "tough".

I'm all for a middle road with fighting, but no dirtbags like Scott Stevens.

:? , Ya, I hear there are vitamins that can help. :drink:

Goalies do not appreciate being poked and jabbed when they have the puck covered.
Lucic was defending his goalie by delivering his version of; (Don't do that!), to the player that did that.
This was my reasoning for, (Goalies will not be pleased). Maybe I could have added; with the decision of the DPS.
My bad.

Just don't want to see net minders getting upset about things.
