BuffaloBob Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 Must be Canadian officials tonight... 686734[/snapback] Yeah, and of course ESPN plays that hit on Connolly about 6 times and Melrose says he think it was a clean hit and that Connolly was going down and that's why he got hit in the face. Bunch of Bullsheit! That was intentional. That guy needs his block knocked off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RVJ Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 What a sham. Try to give The Sens the game. And nothing called on the big goon. I can't stand this team. I despise Murray for the head hunting on Connolly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As evidenced by their scoring the first goal anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alaska Darin Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 I love the passion folks but Connelly got what he deserved. He turned into the middle with the puck at speed and got decked. Clean hit, and TC had his knees bent, putting himself even further in harm's way. Bet he never does that again. Saying anything else is like saying Campbell's hit wasn't clean. Still, the officiating did suck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buftex Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 Saying anything else is like saying Campbell's hit wasn't clean. 686901[/snapback] I agree. What made the Campbell hit so nasty was not the intent of the hit, but the fact that Umgardner (sp?) had his head down, going through the neutural zone, with the puck. From the replay I saw of the Connolly hit, it was very similar. Connolly has to be more aware than that! Still though, a little good old fashioned hatred always makes the NHL playoffs even that much more exciting! I love to promote hatred! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quit your bitchin' kids it's a violent sport, that's why we love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dib Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 I concur, the Sens were getting away with a lot of head hunting last night and the refs made no call. However at a crucial point i the game the ref makes a chippy call about intentionally sending the puck over the glass. I told my wife, "Just give them the goal and lets move on" Miller is a freakin octopus. The team should buy him flowers and take him to a dinner and a movie.

The Senator went directly for Connelly's head. 686973[/snapback] Because Connelly's head happened to be right at where his elbow is (which happened because TC had to bend his knees deep to make such a sharp cut). Dude didn't raise his arm to hit him. His arm came up after the force of the hit dissapated - just like Campbell's did, which caused typical Philly fan to B word like a school girl. Try switching the jerseys. It's hockey and you're doing nothing but whining. The byproduct of this kind of complaint is the NHL removing even more of the physical play from this great game. A word to the wise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
30dive Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 The only difference in the Umberger hit and the Connelly hit was that Umberger palys for the Flyers. Sorry folks the hit was clean, sucked, but was clean. But 7 power Plays v. 2 Kinda tough for the NHL when the Comish sits with the Prime Minister and is surrounded by the RCMP. Let's see how it's called in Buffalo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the expert advice. 687007[/snapback] You apparently don't watch a lot of hockey. If this hit was the other way around you'd be saying how clean it was. Great effort by Miller.

Pine Barrens Mafia Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 No he isn't. He's weak. Just ask Joe. 687027[/snapback] His GAA wasn't stellar this year. I'll give him his props, though, with the exception of games 3 and 4 in the first round and came one of this series, he's looked servicable.
