Goon

Are you really this clueless? Crosby skate in front of Rask, that was Bushleague.

Absolutely disgusting display by the Penguins for not turning the other cheek. Another example of this kind of thuggery the Pens are known for.

Yep, that's true. If Rau had to answer for his mouth on the ice, he wouldn't run it as much.

There are actually people that have said that the cage probably causes concussions and makes the game dirtier because the sticks tend come up when the player wear them, I hate them myself. Former Fighting Sioux Perry Berezan once said that.

Brad was talking about the television deal on the chat this past week, apparently all of the schools in the league have to agree on the TV deal thing for a school to get their own deal.

That's the same conclusion that I came a long time ago, arguing with DaveK is like arguing with my five year old, only she's more reasonable.

Both players are such great citizens (P.O.S.) especially that Ulfie Samuelsson who was voted one of the dirtiest players in the NHL by the readers on ESPN. Eventually Karma hit Samuelsson. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ao1cMIGBf4s

This comes from a fan that thinks Matt Cooke and Ulfie are great players ... So you can throw credibility around all you want.

I haven't played softball since 1992 so I have never seen anyone wear a cage on the hill. But, I can see why it might be good.

Yeah, the act of two guys agreeing to a fight is so much more dirty than Matt Cooke ending the career of Marc Savard. Actually here is that history of that gutless P.O.S. Matt Cooke he's quite the clean guy, oh yeah, I am sure he's miss understood right? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0waePHWjVGY

You need a book to defend your position Koski? Come up with your own Material, the fact that you defend Matt Cooke means have no leg to stand on and no moral high ground what-so-ever. Learn to think for your self.

There is no check-mate. That's a horrible argument, you have a middle weight agitator in Avery that would drop the gloves and became famous for his Sloppy Seconds comments and as far as I am concerned really didn't play the game in a dirty manner and played by the hockey code. You have a player in Cal Clutterbuck that plays the game with-in the rule book and usally leads the NHL in hits and doesn't take a lot of penalties, while Cal doesn't fight a lot, he will drop the gloves from time-to-time and plays within the rule book per the hockey code. The part that kills his argument is he puts these two players in the same category with a gutless puke like Maxim Lapierre that among most things runs around flopping and diving all over the ice and is a basic fraud. Lapierre is more like the Penguins hack Matt Cooke who won't fight who has been suspended over 31 games by the NHL. This is the same P.O.S. that lacks honor and no respect for others if he was removed by a dirty hit would probably do the NHL a favor. So in my opinion that's a horrible framed argument , and I suggest that you watch five year old girls hockey because there is probably little chance that you will witness any violence and they will be wearing the full shield. I am done talking to you Koski because you're beyond comprehending that the NHL is a contact sport and Fighting and the hockey code are part of the NHL and will continue to be part of the game of hockey. I am glad that you can glom on and drink Adam Proteau's Kool Aid. I can counter ever one of his arguments by quoting most tough guys currently playing in the NHL.

come one now....

No she was not. I wish though.

Kenny Rogers, I saw your Chirstmas Concert at the Alerus one time...

Don’t get me started on that gutless puke Matt Cooke, if there was one guy I would love to see removed from that game of hockey it would be that P.O.S…. Matt Cooke is the prototypical D-bag; this is why you will never see fighting removed from the game of hockey. This is why I would also the very reason that I would like to see the Instigator rule removed from the game of hockey as well. If these gutless pukes (some like to call them instigators) didn’t have to worry about fighting they would really flourish and run wild if left unchecked in the NHL. The level of violence would actually go up in the NHL. Someday, someone is going to catch this bag of ass with his head down and he’s going to get what he’s has coming to him… Karma has a way of catching up with these guys, eventually. It will be interesting to see if Penguins fans will cry when it happens. Before you jump to defend Matt Cooke, he’s been suspended by the NHL for almost half of an NHL season, he’s ruined the career of Marc Savard. He’s been notorious for running around targeting the head of opposing players and “won’t” drop the gloves when challenged. I am sure the usual suspect will come on here to defend this P.O.S. and tell us what a great guy that he is.

Boogey did his role because he knew it was his job. That's why I don't get the family suing the NHL. I don't see this case winning. Although, I do think there was some light she on how they hand out narcotics pain killer, which was troubling to me.

Do you really want to argue the same old tired the hockey goon versus the pacifist argument again Koski? Fighting isn't isn't leaving hockey and the author you quoted is known for his anti pugilistic stances. I wouldn't read his book if you gave it too me for free. Three quarters of the people writing about hockey never played a period of hockey in their life, whether it be house league, city league, or rec league for that matter. I am going to save the group the agony watching of me handing it to you again in our annual Goon schools Dave K on the virtues of fighting. Honestly, I am bored with it.

You might be right.

Here's my question; why was the hooking and holding so bad in this series compared to the other three series that we watched? I didn't see the obstruction bein this bad in the other series in my opinion.

I have to admit that I was out golfing last night and watch the last 10 minutes and the O.T. in Parrots Kay and it was a good game for what I can see...

I think that the officiating in this series was absolutely atrocious, almost to the point of being laughable. What the Red Wings were allowed to do to Toews was almost Criminal, I am Boston Bruins fans and I found myself in my living room cussing at my television set, causing my wife to come out and ask me what was wrong with me. So, I don’t know if I feel all that bad for the Red Wings fans that are upset today. I know my buddy Mafia Man and Redwing77 are hurting today, but the Red Wings hacked, slashed and hammered Toews and then when the Blackhawks wanted to collect on the bill the Red Wings wouldn’t drop the mitts. I think the officiating crew in this series needs to be fired from the league. They’re not worthy of officiating games in the WCHA. Unfortunately, Stephen Walkom will be officiating games in the next round of the SCP.

AMEN!!!!

The Stanley Cup Playoffs have been amazing this year. "Because it's the Cup"!!!
