Okay, we have one Baseball position in this series...Outfield...I've noticed, the biggest factor for the most part seems to be offensive numbers...well, except when 3B...Read More
Yeah, there's Daniel Sedin laying in a heap after Chicago defenseman Duncan Keith leveled him with a dirty, dirty, cheap-shot...And the NHL came down and hit Keith with a five game suspension...I have no problem with this...
But I do have a problem with the NHL not suspending Sedin...You may be asking, why should they suspend a guy who just got his head taken off? Because Sedin, brought this on himself...Keith laid him out because earlier in the game, Sedin took a run at Keith's head, and the NHL has made it clear, that head shots are a big no-no!
Don Cherry addressed this tonight on "The Coach's Corner" At 2 minutes and 50 seconds they get into this incident...
Now, why hasn't the NHL popped Sedin for a couple games...I don't care that he's injured, he broke the damn rules, and Brendan Shannahan, and the NHL have been popping guys all year long for head shots...Sedin needs to get popped too!
Normally in Hockey a guy wouldn't just go cheap-shotting another guy, but instead, he'd drop the gloves with him, and throw...But Daniel Sedin made it clear last year in the Stanley Cup Finals, that he's a total pussy, who just won't drop the gloves...
What bitch!
Keith's shot on Sedin, was bad, and dirty, and the league ruled in a similar way that they have ruled on stuff like this all year...But they need to stay consistent, and and hit Sedin for his head shot as well...And Don Cherry is right...If Sedin isn't going to mix it up, he better not go looking for trouble like this...
The New York Rangers and new Jersey Devils have had a great rivalry for many years...And this year, with the Rangers on top of the Eastern Conference for most of the season, their opponents have tried to come at them with a tougher game...Problem is, no team plays tougher then the Rangers...Hard-nosed, grinding hockey...Everyone checks...Everyone blocks shots...Everyone forechecks...And a number of the guys will drop the gloves if needed...
So Monday night the Devils came into Madison Square Garden, and their douchebag coach, Peter DeBoer thought he'd try to send a message with the starting lineup he submitted...He put his thumpers, Cam Janssen, Eric Boulton, and Ryan Carter out there...Pissed off about this, Rangers coach John Tortorella didn't hold back, and he sent Mike Rupp, Brandon Prust out there...Oh, and he sent big defenseman, Stu Bickell out there to play Center...
Here's what happened next...
Way go DeBoer...Not only did you fire up the Rangers squad, but you got the Ranger faithful all fired up too...MSG was rocking from the opening brawl and seeing Carter's blood scraped off the ice...
And then, less than a minute and a half later, The Rangers scored...Momentum was on the Rangers' side all night...
As the game continued, it came out that New jersey's David Clarkson kept running his mouth...So finally Mike Rupp told him, "If you keep talking, I'm going to knock you out on National TV." Rupper rules!
Rupp didn't get to pound Clarkson, but the Devil douche took some hits...
The game had a playoff atmosphere...Which most Rangers/Devils games do...But it was clear, the opening fight sparked the entire team...Every player was skating with a purpose, and playing with the highest level of intensity...Just what they needed to stop a minor skid they've been on...And with their 4-2 victory, they clinched a playoff spot...Thanks DeBoer!
Nothing with guys like Callahan and Del Zotto getting healthy, and Ludqvist over the Flu, they're looking to hold onto the top seed...
So for the rest of the NHL, playing the Rangers is going to be hard enough on you...Don't be stupid like the Devils, and make the night even harder on yourselves...
Oh, and Toronto, way to show about against your rival, Boston Bruins...Maple Leafs, how does that 8-0 ass beating taste...All of Canada should be pissed that the Leafs are such a fucking Joke...
