Your wish came true as far as the Penguins, talloola.......they were outplayed most of the game and the Flyers most certainly deserve this win. Ah well,........maybe next year.
Congratulations to the Flyers on winning Round One.
He was outstanding, talloola and most certainly deserves the 'C' on his jersey. What a player!
I just watched half of the first period, then did yard work, came in and it was over, was it a good
game?
The difference between them are almost nothing, except one is a rediculous 25 games and the other probably no games. The league is a joke.
almost is the key word. neil was almost 'turned around' when he made the hit, it was his shoulder and part of his back that contacted neil, not
directed to the head, although the head was contacted during the hit, I mean, hockey is full of hits, that is part of the game, but
they have to be legal, and of course most hits are very similar, how different can one get when two bodies
are crashing into each other, but the major differences, and going outside of the legal area of a hit, can
cause major injury.
The hit that daniel made on keith before keith hit him was a legal hit, although his shoulder did slide
up and contact part of keith's head.
shanahan explained that hit, as there was so much flack from chicago, AND shanahan said, that when the hit
contacts the head 'after the fact', it is coincidental contact, (hence keith was not even phased by the hit),
they cannot totally eliminate contact with the head, unless they completely take out body checking all together, so there is a grey area, can't be helped.
I don't know why you are so flabberghasted by the 25 game suspension, maybe you need to go into
NHL.com and read torre's rap sheet, then you will understand, as he can't continue treating his
fellow players with such disrespect, he has to learn, just like cooke learned, (at least so far.)
