that would be the dumbest thing the flyers could possibly do. if we so much as touch crosby it's gonna be an ugly suspension. plus we finally have some public opinion on our side, let's keep the ball rolling

The two days off was perfect timing. Let's get back to playing some hockey.

Leaving Crosby untouched isn't a good idea either. They need to take the body with him physically every chance they get, and also deal with him physically around the net. Do it legally, but giving him free reign could spell disaster. And as far as the public opinion part. I could care less about that as long as the Flyers win.

It better be a debate over the # of games and not whether or not they were suspension worthy incidents.

well yea, we have to take the body to him in a sportsmanly fashion, but i meant if we targetted him for a head shot or a cheap shot or a board we're asking for big time trouble.

amen. i hope the pens took that time and realized that they're the ones in the wrong here and start acting better. knowing them..... ehh it's hard to say. they know further incidents will remove them from the league's good graces, but at the same time they haven't shown me anything yet to say that they do in fact have discipline enough to not start trouble.

preaching to the choir. atleast we know before hand that the league doesn't let much slide from us. i think homer has done a great job keeping the balance between not enough team toughness and straight up goonery. this team has character. i'm so impressed with how they've played and carried themselves all year.

He did not "try" to avoid Smith at all. Ferraro was on radio this morning and said that Shaw's defence was that he was going in to play the puck. Well the puck was going to come around the boards. Shaw's body angle was exactly opposite to where a player would have it if he was attempting to stop a puck played or rimmed around the boards. He leaned into Smith vs. the boards. I think Shaw might have originally thought about playing the puck but when he saw he wasn't going to stop it in time he changed his mind and said I might as well do some damage while I'm here.

this is the way i saw it too

the way he dips his shoulder to the left dispels any notion that the hit was unintentional, imo

ya know, considering chris kunitz only got one game for that disgusting elbow to the back of simon gagne's head, neal might get only that or 1+1
