If you watch the other angle dude above me posted, his hand gets sandwiched between Giroux's ass and Letang's chest, my guess is that when it got sandwiched, it drove the butt end tip of Letang's twig into the palm of his hand and cut it.

so I was reading on Philly.com that Cindy felt that girouxs hit was high on letang and he didn't like it. Also said the league will look at it. What a (frank)ing whiner.

Of course they did look at it and you can tell it was an accidental collision I mean he hit gs back. I'm surprised the league didn't suspend him after their golden boy complained

No. No it's not. It's actually incorrect. Actually it's very incorrect. I did not use it as an insult. I used it as an adjective to describe a flawed and underdeveloped logic, which, underdeveloped is the very definition of the word retarded. Sooooo... yeah, that would be incorrect. NOW.. if I called YOU a retard, or your son a retard, or her a retard.. I would 100% agree with BOTH of you, but I didn't. People with the "times" should be able to separate intent from emotion.

Your over sensitivity to other people’s being offended by your use of the word retarded is offensive to me. Ha ha. In all honesty, hasnt this gone on long enough? They’re offended. You’re offended that they’re offended. Can’t we all just get along?

Devils have some good young forwards, but drafting Zacha is going to haunt them easily for a decade.I like Vantenan, but he isn't a 1 dman.

I saw the hit but didn't see how he got the gash.

I noticed on one power play Shultz was out there instead of Letang, i think it was the 3rd period too.

Was the gash on his hand? wrist? arm?

- ggunky


im pretty sure shultz has been on the pp1 for most of the season

Zacha looked so good in jr's. I saw Konecny and Zacha play as members of the Sting in Windsor against the Spitfires. Zacha had a great first half but like Malkin, he allowed his temper to get the better of him. After Zacha fizzled out, came the Konecny show.

I can't wait until Frost replaces one of the blockheads in our bottom six. When you have guys like that you can plug in on the 3rd line(which is where I imagine he ends up with our depth chart) you know your team is moving in the right direction.

And you can't be anything but thrilled with Hart. From what I understand his defense in front of him is considered to be very strong and the backup goalie apparently also has strong numbers from what I've heard. That's the only thing tempering my excitement a little bit. Kid is no doubt the most important prospect in our system right now.

The blockheads had strong games last night.

Kinda think you’re misunderstanding the meaning of free speech. It’s not really about being able to say whatever you want. It’s about being able to speak out about your government. I’m personslly not offended by the word, but rather than trying to convince the people who are offended. I would choose to try to understand their point of view and out of respect for them not use the word in this forum. Don’t feel like that really infringes on my right to free speech. I just feel like it’s being considerate of others. I certainly don’t want to stop you from being you...just how I’d choose to handle it.

Filppula especially played well out of the bottom 6 guys last night. Hopefully he can keep it up. Won some key draws and was really good on the pk.

I'm all for being happy about the way the Flyers played last night. They proved to doubters like myself that they can raise their game. With this said, so can Pitt. The Flyers have to do what they did last night again. So let's celebrating because if they prepare for a strong turn around by the Pens, we will be back to doom and gloom in 24 hours from now.

I'm not one to celebrate one game.

nice 80 degree day to bake out in the cum coffin for a few hours

I don't have a problem with you blue jay, but I think cum coffin is more offensive than retard. Speaking from a necrophilliacs perspective.

Yeah I agree, they need to come out and have a stronger game then they did yesterday. Hopefully being on home ice will fire them up as well, especially the younger guys who haven't experienced the playoff atmosphere at home yet. Elliott needs to lock it down the first 10-12 mins or so, don't wanna let in a softy and deflate the building because that's exactly what the Pens are going to be trying to do early in the game.

Lots of stuff to be offended by on this site tbh. Names. Stereortypes. There's plenty of it. I say take offense to all of it or simply let it go. This isn't a venue to chance people's minds on that type of stuff imo.

This argument is like people who follow the Onion then get offended and trash it when the content affects them.

It's a hockey message board if you expect people to come on here and be politically correct then you are delusional Either develop some thicker skin so when people do say dumb things it doesn't bother you or simply ignore it.
