Keith's Karma is well on his way, then.
- Mattjd123


Keith's hit was retaliatory...not that I agree with it mind you...Burrows throws out cheap shots to hurt people. He's as dirty as they come.

It was a clean hit. Props to Hank for coming back and being the best player on the ice after that hit.

So wrong. Vancouver Bias aside.

He's a rat but has never been malicious or tried to hurt.

Find evidence.

Maybe he needs a little more "elbow grease"

Oh wait, he tried that.

- Mattjd123


Oh yeah he got suspended 5 games for that as a first time offender and has served his punishment. Maybe us Hawks fans should bring up Raffi Torres hit on Seabrook from last season. Nobody likes when their star players get hurt but you move on, grow up and get over it.

It's probably a good idea to have mods of other teams patrolling the forums during the playoffs. Emotions can lead to excessive bans.

Go ahead, bring it up.

Seabrook came back that series.

Daniel has missed 12 games and counting.



Keith didn't throw a hit, he threw an elbow.

Raffi just caught Seabrook with his head down.



If someone took out your best player on the Hawks with an elbow, you'd feel the exact same as me.

Especially if it impacts the playoffs.

The Torres hit was clean. The Brown hit was clean. It's a shame that every big hit needs to be debated to death these days.

I wish the Juice on the Canucks showed as much toughness as you do.

I mean, his tackle job on Brown did so much.

And what do Quick and Howard make?

2.5 for 2 years would do it. He'll be an UFA after and will cash in big. He's an RFA right now. You really think any Arbitrator will give him more then Howard or Quick if a deal can't be reached?

- IanEsplen


Yes he will get more. What you can't seem to understand is that Howard and Quick signed those contracts BEFORE they broke out. Schneider is playing that good right now. How much money does Jordan Eberle make? Around $1.1 million, and he was just under a PPG pace this year. Next time you have a player score at a PPG pace on a contract year, try and sign him for what Eberle is making right now. See how that turns out for ya bud.

With the torres hit atleast he had the puck daniel didn't have the puck how can you compare them. (ps.I think seabrook is not an elite player especially after seeing him stand out in olympics)

It really was not that difficult. It took all of about 2 minutes to copy and paste.

But Just to sum up and then I'll move on. It was a cheap, blindside, hit to the head but it was clean. So no your reply above did not help.

- mvp0207


Blindside:


I think it's pretty clear this is a blind side hit. But like I said, the NHL removed the penalty for blindside hits last year.

I never said it was a head shot, I simply said that his shoulder makes contact with Henrik's head. It's on a follow through.

I think blindside hits like this are cheap, but still clean. The same reason I thought the Rome hit on Horton was clean. It was a blindside hit as well. Given it was .5 seconds later. Look at the stuff Marchand does but doesn't get called for. Clean can still be cheap.

Totally...that's why I'm here and in JJ's blog.

Although JJ's blog is a lot cleaner than here....but then again they're playing the Coyotes, wait until it's LA or Vancouver (if they can come back).

Dude, don't worry about this year...Detroit got swept by the Ducks way back when. Sometimes the best teams need to learn a lesson or two. This WILL make the Canucks stronger and could hpefully get Kesler focusing on the fact that he's a talented son of a b***h and he'll focus on his game a little more in the future.

I'll agree to disagree on the Rome comparison and such. Even though he was turned the actual hit was to his chest.

BUT your overall point is clearer to me now. I see what your saying.
