Goon

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"!!!

Blah, blah. blah... Dude, I could care less if you are against the "goon" in hockey, your stance against fighting is well noted... The full cage will never take hold in the NHL. Eventually, the full cage will be gone in college hockey as well. It's just a matter of time.

I just hope it's the Hawks and the Kings in the Western Conference Finals.

You can keep your book, I won't be adding it to my library, unless I need something to start a fire up at the hunting shack. Embellishment is a very serious issue in all level of hockey.

I think the that the officials I this series have regressed, the officiating wasn't this bad in the Boston and New York series. And I didn't think it was this bad I the Pittsburgh vs Ottawa series.

The Abuse the Toews has taken without any calls being made by the Refs is disgusting.

That's pretty accurate.

Funny, I am missing that text message today, and then I find out that your cell phone number has been changed. The song missing you is playing in the background is also playing.

The officiating has been absolutely brutal in this series.

Johnny has three points in two games (1g-2a-3pts)... Tha's even with Zetterberg trying to carve a piece of his leg off.

It's fun listening to Dead Things fans complain about the Michael Frolik penalty shot this morning. Being a neutral observer, I thought the ref made a correct call on the play. Funny, I didn't get a text message last night after the game between the Red Wings and the Hawks.

Happy Memorial Day buddy...

The Chciago Blackhawks have a chance to save us from having to watch paint dry for yet another round, during the Stanley Cup Playoffs. i am sure I will be getting another text message from my buddy in about 3, 2, 1...

Craig Ludwig with the Montreal Canadiens. Rick Wilson with as an assitant coach with Dallas.

Embellishment is killing hockey... I know the head coach of the UND Hockey team hates it and is on record as not being a fan of it. That's why I can't stand the Canucks or the Habs they're the kings of this.

Paging Jayson Hajdu...
