I mean, Nieds is a great player and all, but consider, GMGM had the chance to trade for Pronger this summer, and when the price came out to Alzner + Varly, he immediately said no.
GMGM, in other terms, is not a home-run hitter.

Rant
I’m tired of other teams taking runs at our players. This has happened more times this year than I’ve ever seen. Whether it’s because the Caps have no enforcer, or have a bunch of star players, it’s bullshit how a player can think that making a dumb play can win you the game. I’m sick and tired of it, and the league needs to do something about it, because it appears that suspensions aren’t doing anything to change the mentality of some players.
Now, go score 10 goals, Capitals.

It is complete bullshit that so many players seem to be able to get away with this kind of junk. What’s pretty obvious is that the NHL is not going to do a god damn thing about it. The Caps should look to start a few fights in the third simply to dissuade other teams from pulling this garbage. Sick of it.
by Kolzilla on Dec 15, 2009 11:16 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
To be fair, that was building up. Avalanche have been hitting everything moving, cleanly all game. They are taking advantage of the hardness of their glass to dish out a lot of punishment. The Caps on the other hand seem to be allergic to throwing a hit.
Now, I’m not one of those guys that says that you have to hit or you are worthless. But, if the other team is just manhandling you physically, and you continue to do nothing about it, it will just keep getting worse as they build on every hit, until it gets a little too much and crosses the line like the hit on Green. I feel a bit like if the Caps had thrown just a couple of hits out there to even the score, the Avalanche wouldn’t just be running around like they have been with no fear of reprisal. And that doesn’t take an enforcer, just a couple good, clean hits when the opportunity presents itself.

I’m talking about the physical play, which had been legal up to that point. None of the goals have been a part of taking advantage of a power play becuase of rough play.

oh i know….
i just think scoring 5 goals makes them think twice -— focus on playing instead of hitting….. i think its also a bit of frustration on their part—— having a goal disallowed, getting embarrassed at home…. etc…… i think that’s what led to the bad hit

The hitting was clean and good up until that hit. My point is that a dirty play will NOT get you any momentum whatsoever in a game, regardless of the score. Physical hockey is all fine and dandy, and honestly, my favorite type of hockey to watch, but when you cross the line, it’s not going to get you ANYWHERE.

Good, physical hockey is fine. It should be encouraged.
Dirty, bullshit cheapshots when you’re losing 5-0 are entirely inexcusable. Watching that replay again, there is clear intent to injure as what’s-his-name got a full head of steam from about 20 feet away before making contact with Green.
I don’t see how this helps add to the quality of the game.

Disagree. Boudreau should make this a “take the 2 points and no injuries” game. A “statement” game would be against Pittsburgh, New Jersey, Atlanta, Buffalo or Boston. Against a Western team you play once or twice? Not worth it. Get your 2 pts. and get the hell out.

by Kolzilla on Dec 15, 2009 11:32 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
I don’t think the Avs care too much at this point about further embarrassment. Would they like to walk out a 5-3 loser instead of a 7-0 loser? Sure, it would feel better. But when you’re down 5-0 heading into the third against a good team, you’ve pretty much realized the near impossibility of winning.
That’s when fringe players take liberties. See: Koci, David.
I don’t know who else on the Avs roster would act similarly, but chances are that the Caps coaching staff do. Make sure you match up your third/fourth lines for big minutes against those guys.

Nah, it’s automatically trading from weakness, and Green went down for a bunch of games last year, albeit slightly earlier. If Green’s down for a prolonged period, they’ll take their lumps, glad he’s not going to Vancouver, and buckle up for the postseason.

27 had a very good game IMO, but there was more.
The team worked well as 5-man units all night.
They really picked that up in the 3rd knowing they were down to 4 regular D.

Avalanche announcers discussing/replaying::

It was a little bit of one, but not only that, he nearly reenacted his Gleason hit on I-don’t-know-whom. He was obviously a little frustrated with the way he was crowded.
by DrinkingPartner on Dec 16, 2009 12:15 AM EST up reply actions 0 recs
If I had to play-by-play I would say Ovi was chasing the puck-carrier behind the net and he did in fact stick his leg out (extend) to push the carrier’s foot out from behind and they both “fell” as far as the refs saw it.
I think it was a different play than people were talking about earlier – I didn’t see that one, but this was sort of a trip from behind.
The Gleason thing was more h-2-h (knee-2-knee)

From the Twitters:
Bruce Boudreau said David Koci also injured Shaone Morrisonn by “running” him. He said 26 is more questionable than Green going forward.
Mike Green has several stitches above his left eye and it is several colors. Boudreau said he thinks it will be swollen shut tomorrow.

It was completely unnecessary, too, which is the worst part. He had to know he was going to get penalized for that hit.

When I couldn’t tell how badly Green was hurt (sort of smiling as he skated off), I figured he’d maybe get one. Now I’d like to see him get ten.

At first I was fearing a severe concussion. Now I’m just wondering if Green’s own visor just didn’t cut up his face pretty badly? Hopefully it looked a lot worse than it really was. If all he has is a black eye and some cuts Green will have really dodged a bullet. And Gabby just tore into Koci.
by BradleyFightingVehicle on Dec 16, 2009 12:29 AM EST up reply actions 0 recs
It’s possible the visor saved him from a concussion, or worse. Put space between his face and the glass.

He said something along the lines of “this guy has 1 goal in 6 years, I mean come on he couldn’t even play in the American League. All he is good for is to come in in the first 2-3 minutes, have a fight, and sit on the end of the bench for the rest of the game. Pretty much useless.”
