dave-O Posted February 23, 2007 Report Share Posted February 23, 2007 Good point Will. A penalty to Neil (deserved or not) could have avoided the whole mess.That game certainly wasn't called up to the new standard of officiating - both ways. But it sure made for an entertaining watch!

Kanada Kev Posted February 23, 2007 Report Share Posted February 23, 2007 I agree ... i think that of the bunch of them, McCreary is the most valuable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SevenSeasJim Posted February 23, 2007 Report Share Posted February 23, 2007 I just have to make sure I dont have any of you ass-clowns watching my back before I do something stupid. You would all watch me take a beat-down (not that I blame some of you). I got your back Booche. I still play hockey twice a week although I'm nowhere nearly as old as you :wink: (actually i'm close) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Booche Posted February 23, 2007 Report Share Posted February 23, 2007 We were listening to the Team on the drive home and they were interviewing Rob Ray (who was at ice level remember). He said he couldnt believe no one came to Emery's aid. "It's your goalie for gosh sake!"But the best part is when he was talking about the f-bombs being dropped between Ruff and Murray. Interviewer: Did you think they were going to go?Rob Ray: I felt bad for those 2 old men. (something like that)Interviewer: What would you have done if Ruff started to head over to the Senators bench?Rob Ray: I had a split second to make a decision. Do I get in Ruff's way or do I sit back and enjoy the show? I decided I would sit back and enjoy the show.Hahahaha. Awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaimoe Posted February 23, 2007 Report Share Posted February 23, 2007 McGrattan said today that Emery could be considered a Top 10 enforcer. I love that Emery kid. Loves boxing, loves to save the puck and loves to drop the mitt and blocker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booche Posted February 24, 2007 Report Share Posted February 24, 2007 Some dude on TSN is saying that Neil's hit was "dirty". I certainly dont subscribe to that theory. It looked clean to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubberdinghy Posted February 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2007 Wow...did booche say that....Reason for Sens not jumping in...They were in awe, waiting for Razor to drop the gloves, ah er trapper and blocker I mean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SmoothedShredder Posted February 24, 2007 Report Share Posted February 24, 2007 Where are all the Sens players? Drinking their fucking Zima's?That's cold man. Even coming from you. I would expect you to pick on Comrie for not holding his own against Peters. Comrie is dead to me now. Fuck the tale of the tape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaimoe Posted February 24, 2007 Report Share Posted February 24, 2007 Has the hard-hitting Volchenkov ever been in a real fight? He didn't look like he wanted to get away to help Emery. No matter. Emery is a tough S.O.B.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn't look like he wanted to get away to help Emery.Assuming Rahmer's point is correct and he was completely tied up to the point he couldnt get away, I think there are more important questions Don.What about that good ole Canadian kid Heatley? Hell, even Spezza could have grabbed some arms and turtled if necessary. Lord knows I have done that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave-O Posted February 24, 2007 Report Share Posted February 24, 2007 As expected (by me anyway), Ruff fined but no suspension.Sabres' Ruff fined $10,000 by NHLTSN.ca Staff2/24/2007 12:26:57 PMOTTAWA (CP) - The NHL has fined Sabres coach Lindy Ruff US$10,000 for his role in Thursday's brawl between Buffalo and the Ottawa Senators. Angered by Chris Neil's elbow to Sabres forward Chris Drury, Ruff sent out tough guys Andrew Peters, Patrick Kaleta and Adam Mair to take a faceoff against Ottawa's Dany Heatley, Jason Spezza and Mike Comrie. Afterward, Ruff admitted to telling his players to: "Go out and run 'em.'' Drury suffered a suspected concussion and 20-stitch gash on his forehead when he crashed to the ice after being blindsided by Neil in the second period. Neil, who was not penalized for the hit, insisted he caught Drury with a clean shoulder check. Ruff complained to the referees that Neil used his elbow. The two teams meet again tonight in Ottawa and NHL disciplinarian Colin Campbell will be there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave-O Posted February 24, 2007 Report Share Posted February 24, 2007 The best video I have seen of the Neil hit was compliments of TSN last night. Darren Dreger and Gino Redo of TSN showed the play in slow motion with the clock ticking in the top left corner showing the time with hundredths of a second on it. After Chris Drury released the puck, it was only .49 hundredths of a second after Drury had no puck at his feet that Neil hit him. That is less than half a second. So you tell me how any NHL player can stop his action of hitting someone in the blink of an eye because that is what less than half a second amounts to?

Booche Posted February 25, 2007 Report Share Posted February 25, 2007 Dude, they showed that and THEN Darren Pang (I think that is who it was) started in on how it was dirty. Brutal attempt Pang. Prediction for tonight?Dinghy, Del and Trevor complain because their expectations werent met. This is going to be a fairly quiet affair with a some decent hits and McGratton trying to get in a couple of fights.There is too much at stake to make this a retribution affair.

SmoothedShredder Posted February 25, 2007 Report Share Posted February 25, 2007 (edited) If the Sens don't ring the Bell and play physical this game it's already over. 5 minutes in and down 1 nothing, and it looks like a house league Bantam game so far.

Booche Posted February 25, 2007 Report Share Posted February 25, 2007 The non-stop parade to the penalty box is going to curb some emotion if these calls continue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmoothedShredder Posted February 25, 2007 Report Share Posted February 25, 2007 We're lucky to be in it so far. If they call the penalties like they did with Neil after Mair hit Spezza the way they did... it could get ugly. Get ugly dammit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmoothedShredder Posted February 25, 2007 Report Share Posted February 25, 2007 Fuck it if we 'lose'... we've already won. Thanks Grats.Oh, and if any more Sabres want to get their feet between the net and an Ottawa shot... be our guest!EDIT:NOW THAT'S WHAT I"M TALKING ABOUT!!! Finish the Job Boys!I think Harry Neale is warming to the Sens... it was great to hear how other teams think the whole incident (whatever way you saw it) was great for hockey cause of all the exposue. Aparantley other games were interupted to show the meelee live.EDIT2Now right back to Bantam hockey... fack... overtime... ... ... I hope. I can't even stick around to see the end cause the fricking game has taken so long! Probably for the best... I haven't enjoyed the 3rd as much as the 2nd.EDIT3Forgot my phone, which would help me keep on top of the score on the way to the show... so came back in to my apartment. Turned on the TV for a second... saw Spezza with his hands in the air and left right away. Whooo Hooo. We won the battle! That was Huge. Got so drunk last night!The Sens only have 3 or 4 games left against teams ahead in the standings. It'll still be a grind... but there's no reason we don't have a good chance to win on any given night... Catching Buffalo would of been great... Instead of Chanting "Miller" the Ottawa fans would of been much more effective chanting "Lyyyyyyyyynndy, Lyyyyyyynnndy"... but that's okay.

Booche Posted February 25, 2007 Report Share Posted February 25, 2007 I made my prediction about the game and wish I could post the PM rubber dinghy sent me at 2:58am. Actually it was 8 pm's from 2:58 until 3:01.Since they are private messages I will keep them at that until he gives me the a-ok or posts them himself. Suffice to say he must have been pretty smashed so I am guessing they loved the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
