oh, and did I mention that the rangers suck the sweat off a yaks balls? they do. actually , they're not even that good. they suck the mites off the sweat off a yaks balls.

Yeah the Pens definitely shit the bed on Saturday night but the officiating in that game was terrible on both sides. Say what you will about Orpik but even the Boston reporters said his hit on Eriksson was clean. They should suspend Thornton for a minimum of 20 games for his actions.

5 Games for Neal...Thorton has to be looking at 10+

[Hellbat]

You forget that one of those two guys plays for Jacob's team, so probably just a fine.

[Shawn Lutz]

Thornton should get at least 15 games. Neal should have had more than 5 games as he is a repeat offender which should have been an in person hearing with Shanny. If officials call that penalty on Orpik's hit to Ericssons head a lot of the other shit doesn't happen in my opinion.

Where is accountability for the officials? How come they don't get fines and suspensions for them blowing calls and losing control of a games? The league will get a black eye for players fucking up but the real fuck ups are the officials in my opinion.

+1 I said the same thing...The reason it got out of hand was the fault of the officials for sure. Even though I was born and raised in Pittsburgh I think Neal should face the same suspension Thornton does. Just because he didn't hurt anyone as bad as Thornton did doesn't mean the "Intent to injure" wasn't there. You don't knee somebody in the head unless you're trying to fuck them up period.

Vancouver fruitbats are wisenheimers batty drew!! complete wisenheimers, nothing less. after the game 6 in '94 cup finals in Vancouver which forced a game 7, the pricks had the rangers luggage at the airport bound with 1940 tags as they had not won the cup since that year and it was to serve as a ribbing and to get in the rangers heads for the oncoming game 7. luckily it backfired.

Even the Boston media said that the hit from Orpik was clean. I didn't see any head contact.

That's fuckin hilarious!!

Yeah, the Orpik hit was questionable at best...didn't appear to me that he was targeting the head. Perhaps an interference call could have been made.

Since when does any good hit, including unquestionably clean ones, demand retaliation? Time for these candy-asses to man up and and accept the fact they they just got drilled and play on.

[atomic charvel guy]

they've got some situation in the nhl right now. no more two line pass, which opens the game up very much. at the same time you have douche ticky tack penalty calls, which impedes the game at the very same time, and you have some players who no longer know what is legal and what is not anymore when it comes to contact, which makes for some injuries. its retarded.

[BLOOD SPLATTER]

Agreed!!


Dirtiest Bruins - Pens game in years!!


6-10 games for Thornton is my guess....well-respected veteran player w/no prior history!!

I don't get that myself too. Someone dishes out a killer, clean, hard body check thats part of a hockey play then someone in a different color sweater wants to drop mitts? WTF? It is a contact sport, you have pads on for a reason expect to be hit. I never fought after laying a guy out or if I got laid out. If it was a clean hit I take the number and repay the favor when given the opportunity. Candy asses & Pussy's is a good name for most of the players in the NHL. I'm not a large man and played at 5'9 175 if I got caught with my head down it was my fault. If a teammate got annihilated in the neutral zone with his head down the whole bench would say you got what you deserved. Don't these players have a nutsack today?

Awful quiet in here...no comments on last nights OT loss Tommy?

Pens are actually kicking some ass lately (11-1 in their last 12)...made all the more amazing with the majority of their top blue liners on the shelf.
