Well, that's interesting, DaveK...I don't see 'diving' on the list of penalties either. I guess that's an 'obscure term' that really is a minor problem in today's NHL...or is it? I especially love this one...Sidney felled by a sniper bullet tapped by Kirk Maltby...

The proper expression is 'couldn't care less' but I don't want you getting bogged down in semantics too.

THOUSANDS of games since the 1970's, Dave, and you've NEVER heard the term "slew-foot"? Gee...here's your beloved Penguins being victimized by such a penalty...at the hands of those despicable Bruins too...priceless! I can't wait to hear your take on this one...between the guys at the home station and the announcers at the rink, the term is used several times in this video alone AND IT'S AT THE BOTTOM OF THE FREAKIN' SCREEN FOR YOU TO SEE. Maybe the volume and picture on your 1985 Magnavox need to get checked out...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6l9iUP_YQ-4 Too bad for Filppula...I've never heard of slew footing. Wait, that's PK Subban slew footing Chris Kunitz? No penalty? OUTRAGEOUS!

In case the video explanation by your own Penguins folks was over your head... http://www.nhl.com/ice/page.htm?id=26344 52.1 Slew-footing - Slew-footing is the act of a player or goalkeeper using his leg or foot to knock or kick an opponent’s feet from under him, or pushes an opponent’s upper body backward with an arm or elbow, and at the same time with a forward motion of his leg, knocks or kicks the opponent’s feet from under him, causing him to fall violently to the ice. 52.2 Match Penalty - Any player who is guilty of slew-footing shall be assessed a match penalty. 52.3 Fines and Suspensions - There are no specified fines or suspensions for slew-footing, however, supplementary discipline can be applied by the Commissioner at his discretion (refer to Rule 28).

Apparently you need to brush up on your NHL rulebook... Here's a nice little video I found...on your favorite team's own website... http://video.penguins.nhl.com/videocenter/console?id=140508

Ya think? When Wisconsin basketball is on TV...the usual result is me changing the channel. All Wisconsin basketball needs on most days is a peach basket and short shorts.

Watching the game from the comforts of my couch...even better.

Who's the front-runner for the #1 pick next year? I still say Jacksonville.

Is this one on TV anywhere locally in the TC's? Joe Sensor's?

LOL! You'll sooner see Brady Hoke or Nick Saban patrolling the UND sidelines!

PROMOTING it? Gopher fans LOVE that stereotype!

Anyone else impressed with Lake Superior State's start to the season?

Hey, Goon, have you sent a check yet for your IceHogg hat? My credit card bill is due in about two weeks. I realize I could have texted you the above question but this way I can up my post count.

Or Don Majkowski or Lynn Dickie... I like Boston.

I went to a sports bar in River Falls on Sunday around 2:00 pm thinking "wait a second, it's game-day, this is a big mistake - it'll be PACKED (pun intended)." I walked in and could practically hear crickets chirping.

Anybody else?

Oxbow6, shouldn't you be busy studying the Packers playbook for this weekend's game? I thought you were named starting QB?

From last spring's playoffs...27 second mark in slow-motion...watch Shaw's kicking motion to up-end Filppula, which in turn, ended Valtteri's playoffs...nothing to see there, right DaveK? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iiA4KRQR3c0

I know it's not the off-season anymore, but I'm bored and wanted to post in my own personal thread... Not the greatest video quality, but, dang, I can't believe Michigan pulled this rabbit out of the field goal hat this past weekend...note the holder sliding in at the last-second to receive the snap... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VouvJB_mOYE

Hey, if you want to start a "Fire Scotty Owens" thread, you'll have to do it somewhere else! This is the Fire Dave Hakstol thread.

My 'Slew-foot Sid" comment was meant sarcastically after I read about the "punk," "fraud," and "jackass" label applied to Claude Giroux. I posted three videos to show DaveK that #87 has had his own moments of not-so-Lady-Byng-like play on the ice and they were promptly met with 'move along...nothing to see here' comments in return. And, no, I have never played hockey, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night.

And yet he is against fighting in hockey? Makes no sense...

Broomball's version of a slew-foot is using your broomball stick to do exactly the same thing that a skate would. I sustained a concussion in 1999 thanks to a slew-foot during a broomball game. Thank God I was wearing a hockey helmet. It occurred right after I scored a goal...raised my stick and the defenseman I had just beaten shoved the back of my left foot. I went straight up into the air and landed on my back, the back of my head slamming into the ice. Despite being completely stunned, I had to be dragged by teammates away from going after the guy. I'm guessing you have labled ME as the instigator in that incident, a classless clown, right?

TAME? Skating up behind a guy and bumping the back of his skate so he falls unsuspectingly on his back and possibly smacking the back of his head on the ice is TAME? I've always thought your back-and-forth fodder with Goon and Ray77 had points on both sides...I now see why they both wonder what the hell you see out there on the ice sometimes! Note the 8-10 second mark of the video and the 34-38 second mark of the replay in front of Pittsburgh's goalie...
