Key word is friends. Who is gonna do that for Tanner?

Legality of the hit doesn't matter. The point is, 99% of hits "wear down" the person getting hit more than the player delivering the hit. It's common knowledge to anyone that has ever played hockey. Ice time must be hard to find in Florida...

It certainly can.

That is a fact, not an example that you would use to sway someone.

Per Frank Seravalli:

Rowe will be Florida’s interim coach for the remainder of the season. It is unclear whether it may be a longer-term proposition, with Joyce and Werier helping take over personnel decisions by committee with input from Tallon and Rowe. No NHL coach also holds the position of GM, though coach Dave Tippett has significant say in analytics-charged Arizona.

James, remember when you said Tippett having most of the control in decisions made for the 'Yotes was "Not even remotely true"?

Snap. Victory goes to Fry. Lets all grow from this and not take ourselves too seriously.

Sad part is I'm born and raised in FL and probably a better hockey player than you.

Holy (frank) I don't think James needs a babysitter.

Yeah but I they don't mean it.

So a hit that is illegal and worthy of a 5 minute major, an ejection, and a suspension is the hit you pick?

Oh and Kariya came back and scored in that game...
- Feds91Stammer

Hit was legal. If not he would have served some form of reprocussion for it. No penalty. No suspension.

Since when is having significant say in personnel decisions the same thing as having most of the control?

See there's a large sample size that suggests that better hockey players come from Saskatchewan than Florida. If you look to the stats you'll see that there are a much higher number of players that come from SK; these players are also better. Thus I am a better player.

Also, I have taken a hit in hockey before, and judging by your comments, you have not. This is also indicative of me being a better player than you.

No I haven't taken a hit before because I keep my head up.

Are we though?

I know that I personally died inside from this blog and the comment section

By the rules in place at the time it was a clean hit. He caught Kariya admiring his pass. Was it vicious? Yes. But if it was not illegal, stevens would have at least missed time the next season.

And the legality of the hit is moot. Did that hit take more out of Stevens or Kariya?

Okay, but I am also from Saskatchewan and have found that a very large proportion of people who grew up playing hockey here were taught to play like a bunch of (frank)ing morons by a bunch of (frank)ing morons so.... you know... gotta hear both sides.

Sega doesn't count.

Yeah cause he is bad obviously.
- Feds91Stammer

Score 40 points 5v5 and being -35 and your team misses the playoffs....Yes obviously that is bad...doesn't mean he's still a bad player...but that year he was obviously horrific, his new coach let him know that he couldn't continue to play only offense.

No he taught me how to skate.

That's a great title, but still doesn't explain your lack of reading comprehension.
