If Schenn barrel rolls, and comes up ok after the hit - no one says a thing about this check.

Well outcomes come into play with suspensions so I don't think we can just throw it out.TheStoryofYourRedRightAnkle said:Beyond the fact that that player wasn't boarded as Schenn was, you are judging outcomes - that the player in the video barrel rolled and came up ok rather than say, landing on his head and never moving again - rather than process. Wilson's hit was reckless regardless of the outcome.
MoGator71 said:I do wonder if there was some intent there. These 2 teams had a couple of dust-ups in preseason, and of course the Emery embarrassment earlier. And Schenn's line (with Hartnell and Simmonds) had been running around all night; that's as physically engaged as that group's been in awhile. I expect Wilson was sending a message...not that that's wrong, or a bad thing. That's what big hits are for. He just got him in a bad spot on the ice.
Fred in Lynn said:I won't be surprised if those words are uttered by Shanahan, but I hope he chooses others. Wilson is under no obligation to avoid checking Schenn in that situation. He got in trouble because of the charge and subsequently (in part) the outcome.
Well I meant I'd expect those words because of the charge. There was a hit either last season or the year before where a guy got lined up from half a rink away and that was the language we heard when the suspension came down.Fred in Lynn said:I won't be surprised if those words are uttered by Shanahan, but I hope he chooses others.

Is it too bitter and spiteful to refer to him as Mr. 82?NYCSox said:And No. 8 on the all time list, one behind Messier.
And yet he (and Seguin) couldn't pop in a couple of goals in June when it would have made a huge difference. :smithicide:

I believe they said he is the 6th fastest to ever hit 400. A game quicker than Bure, I want to say.
Your avatar just made me do a full-on, alone in my house double-take. I did not expect to see that face while scrolling through RMPS on a Friday night. I am a member of that company—standing by for a number of roles across those two plays. I'll assume you saw the show, yes?Monbo Jumbo said:Cats/Jets first period was very chippy. Things might get out of hand before this one is through.
sachmoney said:Speaking of Ovechkin, the Canes have been shadowing him on the [Caps] PP tonight. I've seen a few teams (Pittsburgh, Toronto come to mind) do this. Basically, the PK is shading the forward or defensemen on Ovechkin side closer to him, so that he doesn't have a clear shot on net. I mean, 28 goals, 12 of them on the PP, you know why. However, tonight, the Caps are 3/4 on the PP and lead 3-2. If Ovechkin's teammates perform like they have tonight, it's going to make that PP very difficult to defend.

Stage seats are the only way to fly..... No, I'm not covering any of the female roles, they've got younger, prettier types for those assignments. I'll check out your review post haste. From Nashville, is it? Rylance fan?Monbo Jumbo said:
Outstanding! Bravo! (unless you're covering the female roles - then Brava! )
Yes - I made a trip up last month to see them both. Stage seats!. My SoSH review is here.
Who needs positioning?sachmoney said:Phaneuf scored make it 3-2 Wings, then Gustavsson made this save on him:
Pumpsie said:Jagr's having a great season. A goal and two assists tonight to lead the Devils back against the Caps, 5-4. Overcame TWO two-goal deficits. Jagr was the best player on the ice. He's now 13-21-34 in 36 games.
We might start having to call him "Jesus" as well because he's also resurrected the corpse of Travis Zajac this season.

Edit: Nice write-up. I feel precisely the same way about his R3.
