Dale Hunter is an anti-Christ. He is EVIL! Pure EVIL!

In the Gord Murphy cheap shot, I loved how Bill Clement railed on Hunter. His best line, "spearing {Hunter} in the face would be too good for him."

In the Turgeon video, the refs quickly get to Hunter and get him off the ice. In the Murphy video, he never really gets hit. Was Hunter a "made man"? He never paid the price and he never really dropped the gloves. I never got that.

At least Sandstrom did get a cross-check to the chin. That was worth every one of the 10 game suspension. I still shake my head that there was never any real retribution taken out on Hunter.

Flyers quietly miss playoffs.....

I would Honestly do JVR and Bob for Nash... Its not like Nash is OLD. He is 27. And he is a known dynamic goal scorer. JVR shows signs of potential, but there is no guarentee he will ever be as good as Nash. And Bob started out like he was going to be a phenom, but I havent seen anything spectatular in his game all season. I havent seen the highlight reel stops... Plus with Bryzgalov, he becomes expendable to me... And I with JVR's raise and Bob's salary, that is almost Nash's cap hit...
- RooNosHockey

1.8M difference, if that is the definition of almost Nash's Cap hit. Not to mention that you also need to add another goaltender, even further adding to the expense of it. No Salary Cap, I give an emphatic yes. But in a Cap environment taking in all of the factors, wouldn't be a prudent move.

Any thoughts on the recent NHL violence spree: Elbow from Doan, Elbow to Sedin and NJ/NYR fights on the opening face off. Are teams getting that desperate to make the POs or what?

true fans can't afford tickets anymore. Business corps get em.

section 103 row 4. seats 1 & 2 a guy with a window business and 2 other guys split the seats 3 ways, nearly always the ticket owners or their kids. seat 3, former model now nurse. seat 4, me, not a corporation. seat 5-8 accountant and his wife and 3 kids at all weekend and some weeknight games, sell others to regular people.
Row 3. first 2 seats, 4 guys in a rotation (one of them the douchenozzle and his expletive wife). Seats 3&4 business gives to clients. seats 5-8, 3 family rotation usually used by a group of 4 young guys, the primary owner and his family (sometimes business guys with the owner), or the third guy's family.
row 5, first 2 seats, 3 guys in rotation. seats 3&4 four families in rotation including a pair of nurses. seats 5&6, families in rotation. seats 7&8 aging (he'd kick me for saying that--he's younger than me) rocker and his family--have sold a lot this year because his older sisters are 1) out of work and 2) a new mom.

So, no, not all corporations. Thing is, you don't have to be a business person to come to a game and be completely clueless about it. You can easily be a friend or neighbor of a STH and be a clueless twit.

Didn't see either elbow. The NJ/NYR stuff, eh. Can't stand Torts. Those 2 teams can kill each other though. Don't think it has to do with desperation of making the playoffs.

Here was a very well liked (+39, more then I have ever seen actually) comment on TSN about the elbow on Sedin from a Nucks fan that I enjoyed and thought I would share:

"Okay, no rose color glasses from this Nuck fan. For the record, I was disgusted by the Bertuzzi attack on Moore. Should have been suspended at least a year. I was thrilled that Cooke got shipped out as he would make some of the dirtiest hits and NOT drop the gloves. More recently, Kesler should at a minimum, got a $2500 fine for his action on Clutterbuck, more ideally a game or two. Now, last night. Sedin's hit reminded me of a hit earlier in the season when Getzlaf hit Hamhuis. Slightly late and high (with the shoulder). After that game, AV went so far as to say that Hamhuis should have kept his head up. I thought it should have been at least a 2 minute minor for shoulder contact with the head. Even though there was no elbow, contact with the head is a penalty. I felt the same way about Sedin's hit on Keith. However, comparing Sedin's hit to Keith's hit is ...... well suffice to say folks that say they are similar are either ignorant or they are wearing rose colored glasses. This is one of the dirtiest hits I have seen in a while. Is it not enough that we lost Lindros early, Savard early, Moore early, Primeau early, and Crosby for pretty much a year? Some of these guys are still suffering in silence well after hanging up the skates. Would we wish that on any player? Yet I see posts last night about it was justified, or lets get the other Sedin. What has happened to us? I want the NHL not the ECHL. If this is some peoples idea of hockey, then watch Slapshot every other night. This is only the 2nd time I've posted all year. The main reason being the lack of reasoning on these boards and comments that cross the line in a disgusting manner. Cheer for your team, but call a spade a spade regardless of whether the offender is on your team or not. So yes, Kesler probably should not have been playing last night. Finally, the players are obviously having a tough time showing respect for each other in the heat of battle. Shanny, it is your job to force that issue, then lets get rid of these insane should pads. Players can recover from should separations here and there, but some will never recover from a head trauma!!!!! "

My wife is a STH and *I* am a clueless twit. Unfortunately, I will be coming to the game tonight and shall exhibit the following behavior:

1) Yell "Hit him!" during a Flyers' PK
2) Yell "Shoot!" throughout the Flyers PP, especially when they are fishing the puck out of their own zone
3) Call every save by the Flyers' goalie "lucky"
4) Make up a dumb nickname for every Washington Capital and loudly proclaim it
4) Mistake the number of several members of the Flyers (call Simmonds, Schenn, etc.)
5) Complain that JVR is soft whenever Voracek is carrying the puck
6) Yell "Backstrom, you suck!" every time Ovechkin has the puck
7) Scream "That's not icing!" whenever offsides is whistled against the Flyers.
8) Complain that the D was doing better when both Meszaros and Timonen were out with injury.
9) Insist both Lappy and Pronger will be back in time for the playoffs
10) Insist that Bob is the better goalie, he just hasn't had a real chance
11) Call for head coach John Stevens to be fired
12) Ask where Gagne is in the scratch list

Funny, only vaguely related note: If you caught me on twitter on Sunday, I said I had the most annoyingly chatty Pittsburgh fan behind me during the game. He had to be 16 or 17, and never shut up. He didn't say anything offensive or anything, but... so anyways, I think it was during the second period, the Pens went on the powerplay, and the woman he was there with cheered, "C'mon Crosby!" The kid says, really self righteously, "He's not even on the ice!" Needless to say, she and everybody in a three seat radius pointed out Crosby, at the point, the big 87 on his back facing us. He wasn't quite as chatty after that. He was even less chatty from the start of the third period on.

But, I don't have a problem with someone saying Ovechkin sucks (or Crosby sucks) if it is in the sense of "you are not a Flyer, therefore you suck on principle." And Lisa Hillary can shut up about people saying Crosby sucks. If she doesn't get that it's a fan thing you hear in every arena about another teams superstar she needs to get some hearing aids.

I doubled the 4 purposely. Nice catch.

I forgot 13) When a goalie is on the bench for an extra attacker (whether a delayed penalty or near the end of the game), yell, "TOO MANY MEN!" no matter which team it is.

All right, I'm out. GOI FLYERS!

Agreed.

It's simple- any true hockey fan respects Crosby or Ovechkin or any other superstar as a talent. It would be stupid not to.

He's damn good, and he's not on the Flyers. It's not a hard concept. We boo Syd for the same reason we boo Ovechkin. It happens everywhere. It's not just a Philly thing. I hate when people say that
