I am not sure. I saw a highlight of a hit by PK and it didn't seem bad to me. Ference made the whole thing look worse by going monkey poop afterwards. - desi08
He elbowed a Boston player then watched them take a penalty trying to get him for it. What's wrong with that? I get that it goes against the antiquated sense of "honour" or "chivalry" that hockey people are for some reason obsessed with, but it doesn't bother me. - CH1909-2009
The hit was illegal, Ference was dumb enough to jump him and even up the penalties, hell he even took an extra one. PK getting up and signaling for Ference to keep his head up is what bothers me. You just showed that you were unwilling to fight the guy and then you'll go and mock his toughness? really?
edit: Elbow or no elbow, PK jumped to hit. The hit was illegal.
Ok, the fact that he's never had a significant injury means he'll have to retire in 1 year right? Doan is a machine. Also Montreal would never get him anyways so it's moot. - AdamFrench
exactly, he will never sign with the Habs anyways...
ouais...mais qui sont ces autres DG? Des équipes de l'est qui auraient donné un choix de 4e ronde? On sait pas...je trouve ça un peu ridicule. Pierre Lebrun devrait se fermer la yeule - stinger67
C'est le sentiment que j'avais quand j'ai lu la nouvelle J'suis content avec l'échange j'aurais juste voulu profiter du 2e dès cette année, et je pense qu'on aurait eu un meilleur rang cette année que l'an prochain. J'crois que les Flames vont finir plus haut au classement l'an prochain. Mais on s'est grossi, pour pas mal le meme nombre de buts et on sauve la moitié du salaire de Mike pratiquement

Yes I agreed the hit was illegal. I also agree that PK was being classless and pesky. What I'm saying is, so what? It's both funny and effective.

It would be effective if the rest of the team could play along. We don't have enough guys who can't so it's not effective. And if you're going to get someone off his game, do it to a player who's worthwhile, not Andrew Ference.

But Gauthier was the one who wanted a "smurf team" and actually made the D softer this year. - habby
You're talking as though Gauthier has a clue what he wants. He's late for work right now, still hasn't chosen if the blue or green tighty underwear is the way to go today.

I don't like Gauthier, but I'm not going to rip him for this deal. It seems to be a change of direction for him.
