Funny you ask Red, I came across this quote the other day from a 1950s copy of the Montreal Gazette that Bruce said about Rocket Richard after he ran one of his players.

“Please, the guy’s got one goal in six years. He couldn’t play in the American League,” Boudreau told the Monreal Gazette. “I’ve faced Maurice Richard an awful lot, he might be a nice guy, I have no idea. I’m glad he’s making a living, but if this is any game, he gets on the ice for the first three minutes, he gets into his fight with the guy and then he sits at the end of the bench, so what good is he?”

It was never amateurs with the Russians involved.

Regardless, one of my favorite things was when Team Germany shunned all of it’s NHLers except Kolzig since they required the players to play in and travel to exhibitions together and practices as well. It was sweet. Except the losing part.

That’s true: the first one was pretty epically over-reacted.

by DrinkingPartner on Dec 18, 2009 11:38 PM EST up reply actions  

he saved the first shot didn’t he, then Schultz kicked in the net…..

by MadDog31 on Dec 18, 2009 11:38 PM EST up reply actions  

It’s the fact that he was literally out of the net. Sure, stupid, shitty bounce, but most goalies don’t let themselves get that far out of the net.

by DrinkingPartner on Dec 18, 2009 11:40 PM EST up reply actions  

and if he didn’t challenge, you would have all said “if only Varly was in net, and would have challenged the shooter and taken the angle away….”

someone would have, not me though.

by Beakers Lab on Dec 18, 2009 11:41 PM EST up reply actions  

theo shouldn’t have given up such a huge rebound in the first place, but schultz just had to not do something retarded…and he did. and we’re 2-2.

by what Juneau about that? on Dec 18, 2009 11:43 PM EST up reply actions  

ok sure, it was a fucking breakaway, and he found a way to stop the initial shot, seems that should be enough?

by MadDog31 on Dec 18, 2009 11:44 PM EST up reply actions  

It’s not the rebound that bothers me, it’s the fact he literally ended up out of the crease. And he did that to himself.

by DrinkingPartner on Dec 18, 2009 11:44 PM EST up reply actions  

ok fine, but he DID save the shot, and if Schultz does NOT kick the puck in his own net like a stumbling idiot (how the hell is his +/- rating as good as it is???) we wouldn’t be here….

by MadDog31 on Dec 18, 2009 11:47 PM EST up reply actions  

i usually stick up for theo, but he DID give up a big rebound…even though Schultz’s awkward ass kicked it into the net, it’s still a huge rebound to give when you’re not prepared to cover the net afterwards.

The artist formerly known as thehoagster07

by what Juneau about that? on Dec 18, 2009 11:48 PM EST up reply actions  

He basically reacted the way any normal player would, by trying to collect the puck. How does he know there’s no one behind him waiting to get that rebound?

No, it was unfortunate, but that’s not a goal Schultzie will get blamed for.

by DrinkingPartner on Dec 18, 2009 11:48 PM EST up reply actions

by MadDog31 on Dec 18, 2009 11:38 PM EST up reply actions
