Yeah Luongo hasn't had a shutout in a while so it was nice to see him get one. Looks like our third line is breaking out too. Bernier, Raymond, and Pyatt have started to be more effective the last few games. Wellwood too which is nice to see our 3 lines can all chip in with points
that is just embarassing, how the hell do you get scored against on a delayed penalty for the other team? looks like the canucks won't be winning this one.
maybe rest of playoffs suspended at the least, and prob some reg season games next year
downey had a more serious case and was dealt a pretty severe penalty (granted any of his history being taken into acct) but abuse of official in any capacity shouldnt be tolerated imo
Even if Rask was right on both of those being non-goals, his behaviour was simply unacceptable. I'd be very very very surprised if he goes unpunished for this.
well the fans actually cheered for him lol, and hes just showing passion for the sport, he didnt cause any harm a long suspension definitely wouldn't make sense when you compare it to all the stupid hits some players make that actually endanger others on the ice, most of these get overlooked and you get a couple of penalty minutes
and if that stick happened to hit a player or ref in the face, then what? You can't suspend people based on what the result was, you suspend them based on the action.
Just about all the long suspensions I can think of in the NHL are actions that are considered "non-hockey plays" (think Bertuzzi, Boulerice, Simon, McSorely) or plays that are with intent to injure another player (Downie, all 4 above) I think if nothing else, throwing a goalie stick like that is definitely not a hockey play And I agree with what icerider said, you dont suspend base on results, you suspend base on action (think both Boulerice and Simon, neither of the victims were seriously hurt or missed significant playing time)
i cant believe the media made such a big deal about luongo's comments in the afterhours segment on cbc sat nite
i caught it live and i didnt even think twice about what he said, i thought it was just honest and even though it may come across negatively on print, i doubt that was his intention
public is so used to hearing cliches, a lil honesty and they rip the guy for wanting to leave or somethin
Kesler was awesome last night against dallas :) i love the part where hordichuk ran turco and hit him against the boards... Great game yesterday and it was nice to see our power play work for once :P

hope this is a wakeup call to not take teams for granted
and can you believe hes getting suspended?
and the first one was clearly a save, and the goal off the rebound was counted
downey had a more serious case and was dealt a pretty severe penalty (granted any of his history being taken into acct) but abuse of official in any capacity shouldnt be tolerated imo
as a player to not control your emotions and endangering other players/fans/refs b/c of that, u should get the book, no exceptions
and hes just showing passion for the sport, he didnt cause any harm

edit: Nvm, found it. I know how to google.
we've been kinda crappy on the road, and cal/chi have gone back to their winning ways, so we need to keep pace if we want to make a push
update on rask
no suspension
and that hit on turco was hilarious, he didnt seemed too bothered by it, but was funny to see
