NHL Discussion (Other than Jets)

I never mentioned any heat of the battle.

Players say crap to each other all the time. Most are just smart enuff to not mention it.

During the game. Not after the game during a handshake.

You sure seem concerned about that player's junk. I have to wonder if Lucic had high sticked the guy if you would be as upset. I'm certainly not defending Lucic but he wasn't the first to do that and he won't be the last but you're acting like he's the only one to ever do it.

This is a great point. Crosby did it to Girardi (IIRC) during the last round. Only he never got punished for it.

True enough... but i still say it should stay on the ice. Tell your mates and coaches but not the media.

Its really stupid to say anything at that point but i dont think it needs to be brought out, it wont fix or prove anything.

Well, it proves how classless Lucic is. Look at his history in the NHL. He's a goon through and through. Win or lose, he has no respect and it seems like the only way he'll ever change his attitude is if he gets his lights knocked out.

Thats my point tho... Hes a jerkoff and everyone knows it. Tell your mates and take care of biz the next time you see him.

Whats said and done on the ice should be delt with on the ice.  IMO

I think it would have stayed on the ice if the media hadn't brought it up. Neither player said what Lucic said - that came from the lip reading skills of the media.

True... and it should have been just shot down.

Put away for another day.

Only an idiot would think that after a game like that, there would not be cameras all over them, recording every syllable out of their mouths.  Heck, Lucic got caught days earlier Cowbell'ing a player behind the play, didn't he learn from that? 

Sure, in the beer league, what happens on the ice stays on the ice.  But when you get paid millions to play, and you have 27 cameras on you, its worse than any other celebrity and paparazzi.  There is no expectation of privacy on the ice.  Especially during the Stanley freaking Cup playoffs.

Again, he physically assaults a guy outside the realm of play (the player did not have the puck, and was not involved in the play when he tried to castrate him), and then he utters a death threat to another player.  Do either of these in a bar, and you are open to criminal charges.  Put on a hockey helemt and it just "part of the game". 

The sooner they remove these shenanigans from the game, the better.  Or, quit putting up the pretense, and bring us Rollerball on Ice.

Sounds like Miller will be on the move... Blues signed Elliott to 3 years 7mil.

And Price is out for remainder of the series.

[AngryGreg]

athletes have been saying stuff like that to each other since the beginning of organized sports...hes not literally going to kill him....should he have said that during the handshake? probably not the best place for it, but enough with the dramatics already....you think guys dont say stuff like this to each other in football?
