thebug Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 That's beyond dirty. Kaleta was suspended for lesser offenses No problem with Kane running around trying to break every guys arm the other night with his crosscheck/bodychecks ? He was out of control dirty and not just on one play. They do. Doesn't make what he did right. Neil should be punished. He might be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is still a game played by tough guys, but there are a few things that cross the line, like kneeing a guy in the face when he's prone. Bettman needs to put a stop to this or owners will start loading up on more goons to protect the stars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alaska Darin Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 trying to break guys arms is ok though right? Are you retarded? Are you condoning kneeing a player when he's down? Did anyone say it was Ok to break someone's arms? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you are judging by your hockey knowledge... I said you guys are homers because you whine about everything the other team does, but fail to mention the dirty cheap shots from your own guys.

Alaska Darin Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 I think you are judging by your hockey knowledge... What the !@#$ does that even mean? I made a simple, easily proven statement about Chris Neil. Last night's "incident" is pretty much the norm for him throughout his career. Somehow that turns into a "homer" thing because I didn't complain about something some Sabre did at some other time. Are you Chris Neil's bottom? I also didn't like Risto's cross check to Bobby Ryan's ribs. Given that Risto has about 60 PIMS for his career and Chris Neil has 2400+. I'm going to turn a homer eye to it and chalk it up to something the television didn't show me. I'm not going to give Chris Neil the same benefit of the doubt because pretty much his entire game is based on all the **** he's pulled in the past, including almost taking Chris Drury's head off. If the NHL suspended Risto for a game or two because of it, I wouldn't have a problem with it (despite my obvious homerism). Once again the toothless, gutless NHL officiating crew didn't have the stones to even call a penalty on Neil, much less throw him out of the game. The fact that the linesman standing 10 feet away didn't have the balls to call the major that he saw means once again, Neil will continue his behavior and at some point seriously injure another player. The NHL doesn't protect its players in a meaningful way. It's been a problem for pretty much the entire tenure of the Lawn Gnome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drinkTHEkoolaid Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 (edited) You guys are such homers it's funny. No Sabres ever do anything dirty? No one is condoning sabres players right now. Were pissed at Neil for once again being a piece of **** and mauling eichel after a play while he's down. Effing Bush league bull ****. I hate the the nhl allows 4th line goons to attack star players. Crosby will never amount to what he should have been because of it and the league is worse off because of it.

eball Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 So now I can say how cool it is that both Eichel and Reinhart have 20-goal rookie seasons... The future of this team is really, really bright. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
