So now Rinaldo is laying out his teammates with hits in practices. He knocked Coburn flat today. They need to jettison this piece of donkey feces

Can you give a bit of explination as to what exactly happened? Or was it as simple as he threw a check and knocked out coby?

Is it possible that the Flyers were running contact drills to test if Coburn was ready to play, and Rinaldo was tasked with that?

I'd have to think real hard to come up with a player who lacks the overall hockey sense that he displays

Also likes to laugh when other teams' players get boarded. True professional.

Is because he fell in a funny way doesn't laugh at the boarding
People dont like that he speaks t he tRuth

That's actually 100% not the reason he laughed.

JR on WIP saying the FLyers STILL don't have their #1 goalie. Is he really this (frank)ing stupid? Jesus
- nastyflyergirl

A) WIP is worthless

B) JR is the typical guy who was great at a sport and really has no idea why.

he's a right our #1 goalie is out to injury

@BroadStBull: Coburn, who went at it with Umberger after a drill yesterday, just went down after punishing check by Rinaldo at practice in Montreal.

Rinaldo is the last guy I'd task with "testing" a player's health and readiness.

That's a completely valid, topical, and relevant point. Congrats on being old.

- jmatchett383

Yep. If you're running a contact drill, the point is to test for contact, not lay a (frank)ing teammate out

Tibbetts?
- Jsaquella

Tibbets was a scum bag, but probably had more hockey sense than Rinaldo.

Even if he was, it's hard for me to believe that the check he threw would have been a legal hit.

Coby is 6'5" around 220, Rino's about 5'11" probably around 190. That's a lot of force Rinaldo has to generate him to knock out a player of that size. Even if he got a good hit on a guy that size, it's more likely to effect him than the other player. That being said, Rino could have been moving full speed and Coby standing still.

But right now, I'm just speculating.

Yeah, don't fight RJ Umberger

Thanks, I should probably check Twitter for information more often. I always forget about it. I usually just come here and read the updates from others.

i've been having this conversation with her for years. years.

Nice to see you having success with it

Tibbetts?
- Jsaquella

He was not a great or bright person off the ice, it appeared, and he fought a lot because of it, but when he played those few games years ago, I actually thought he could play some but didn't see enough to form a real opinion

He was (frank)ing awful. I'm not sure, but he's very similar in terms of dumb
