Ty Anderson: Bruins steal one from Niemi, Sharks

Still can't get over Eriksson being out because of Scott...

How about this head shot by Chara? Pathetic, we can't have those in the game and not even a mention in this blog by Ty, the head shot preacher. Zdeno Chara the Embarrassment

Happened at the other end of the rink from my seat in the press box, so this is honestly my first time seeing it. Can't comment on what I don't see, Gilly.

That being said, watching it, completely lazy, unnecessary play from Chara.

Get some sleep.

Yup, Chara and Scott have parallel careers. John Scott is one of the league's top players, has never been suspended, is a perennial Norris candidate, has a Stanley Cup ring, and is his team's captain. You are spot on.

Are Sabres fans really commenting on other boards about questionable hits?!? Yes it seemed high, but Wingels also seemed to be trying to duck the hit. Needless to say if the league does decide to give Chara a call, we have enough talent to fill the gap until he gets back. I'll take our 7 W's over your 9 L's.

Why can't fans just take their lumps without having to resort to "We'll take our 7 wins to your 9 losses".

Well, DUUUUHHH! No, sh!t, Sherlock! Captain obvious strikes again.

It wasn't so long ago that the Bruins sucked. We'll be back.

Anyway...

Chara brought his dirtiness to the dinner table on that play. Plain and simple. Get over it.

I think all the Sabres poster was trying to say was "careful how you run your mouth (And I think most of it was directed at Ty Anderson), because it always, always comes back around".


Scott deserves what he gets, for sure. Is he an embarrassment to the game? Perhaps. But he's not a historically dirty player. And please don't act like the Bruins have been a squeaky clean franchise, either. You guys have, and have had, your share of players who cross the line, too.

He's a dirty POS that has no business being in this league.

Comparing that Chara hit is just plain silly.

I hope Scott gets 20 games.

And this is why these threads are so frustrating.

The lack of intelligence.

Where did I compare the two hits?

Those you invoking Karma sound like the biggest, doucheist, jilted lovers I have heard in my life. Stop crying and get off your (frank)ing crosses.

-John Scott sucks at Hockey.

-That hit was dirty and resulted in concussion, he deserves a suspension.

-Of course The Bruins have committed things in the past. The organization is 90 years old. What I don't see a single Bruins fan on here saying there is some perfect luster to the organization or that our poop doesn't stink. That's what Montreal does.

-If you're using KPD or Jack Edwards as measure of Bruins fans you're a moron.

-EVERY organization the league has a history of things like this done to others and being done to them. I don't understand why it's so unreasonable for you vaginas to understand why anyone might be upset.

-The league as a whole is now weaker without Eriksson and Buffalo will be better without Scott.

Stop it. He's in this league because of teams like Boston. And comparing the hit isn't silly, chara and John Scott are almost the same height and had similar hits. He isn't a dirty player, he fights which is a big difference. If memory serves me correct don't the habs have George Paros?

It is a poorly executed hit by Chara. However you're reaching because you are butt-hurt. If a report comes from SJ today that Wingels is concussed then Chara should be disciplined.

The other and biggest problem nobody in their infinite whining yesterday and today has discussed is how inconsistent the department of player safety is. The message is unclear and that's the only thing consistent with them.

It shouldn't matter if he is concussed or not, a hit to the head is still a hit to the head. And I agree 100% with you on the inconsistency with dops. I think it should be done by an outside group.

You're comparing Parros to Scott now? (I can't be defending Montreal can I? ) Hockey is tough game played by tough guys. Perhaps the Buffalo Sabres should regress to a Baseball organization if they cannot handle the game. Boston is not the only team with a smash mouth brand of Hockey.

I'm not comparing Scott to Paros. I'm calling him out on the fact that he critiques us on having an enforcer when they have one too. A pretty effective one I might add.

Yes it should. Because it obviously not being taken seriously enough by players on ANY team. A Concussion should warrant a punishment equal to the length of injury IMO.

We can handle the game, why do you think we brought Scott in....

I agree with matching the suspension to the injury, but not cracking down on someone because the other player wasn't concussed wont send a good message. If you hit a guy up high it should be a minimum five games.

This is the problem right here. Suspensions are often doled out based on the result. I didn't see the hit, and can't view the video at work, so I have no idea how bad it is or was, but a dirty hit is a dirty hit, and it should be suspendable regardless of whether the player is injured or not.

- jaumiller

BECAUSE YOU COULDN'T. Total lack of accountability on your team especially when Lucic/Miller fiasco happened. No one stood up. Then the one guy who did later on, Gaustad, you (frank)ing traded him away.

What does that say about Miller?

When it happened to Savard and nobody stood up, I had and still have the same question.

So you are saying Chara should only be suspended if Wingles has a concussion? That is absurd. It was a dirty late hit. His arms were up, stick parallel with his shoulders and he's just about 7 feet. You can't rip Scott for his hit and not rip Chara for this. I'm not a fan of either team but just because Chara is a top player in the league does not give him the right to run around taking head shots. Tall guys (like Chara and Scott) need to be more aware of where other players heads are because they risk contact to the head every time they hit someone.

Make sure to rip Z if you are ripping Scott.

Both players have a job to do...play physical and thats what they are doing. I don't think Scott tried to knock Loui out, he was trying to play physical (elbows were not up, but he did extend after initial contact which is how most players hit). Yes, it was contact to the head (mainly because he is so much taller) and he should be suspended. He also has never been disciplined before so don't castrate him. Chara hit Wingles late with his arms up...Chara's was dirtier, stop beign homers and look at it subjectively.

Exactly, how is the league supposed to get its message across if there is no consistency in terms of punishment. Take away the case by case review, they hit up high its five games regardless.

Yes it should. Because it obviously not being taken seriously enough by players on ANY team. A Concussion should warrant a punishment equal to the length of injury IMO.

Did you even read my comment or you still crying and cannot see well enough? That hit sucked, go back and read it.

Yes I think it should be a tougher punishment if it results in a concussion. If concussed punishment = X amount of games, if you're a repeated head shot artist your contract is voided.
