ike Richards kicks this one off with another (perfectly clean, I’m sure) knockout blow. What. A. Douche.

Killer_Carlson and Steckel Me Elmo are like brothers to me. And when I say brothers I don't mean like actual brothers. I mean it like how black people use it, which is more meaningful, I think.

Er, Carter. And it didn’t look as bad as Richards on Booth.

Still ugly, though.

that hit was completely uncalled for.

Maybe, but it wasn’t exactly late. The whistle hadn’t blown yet. He also wasn’t charging and I think he wanted shoulder contact (unlike Richards). The arm flying out late is the most unsettling part of it.

It was still high and the kind of thing that screams for a suspension these days.

You’re right. It’ll just be hysterical when Carter gets suspended for basically the same thing Richards did, just less violent. And if Carter doesn’t get suspended then we’ll just hear more cries about the Wheel of Justice. If Green got 3 as a message to the rest of the league then I don’t know how they completely ignore this hit.

But Briere did get suspended for a late hit that didn’t look half as bad as this one.

I do. Did TSN pick it up as a cause celebre?

No Alex, no ratings. Know Alex, know ratings.

Way ugly.

Only borderline after the play. With the shoulder. In the head, yes, but you can shoulder-check a guy in the head.

Doubt this draws a suspension, which, given my track record, means he probably gets one.

"You want to start being part of the Rink? Fine, but more’s expected of you than John/Jane Cap Fan. Carry the cause of informed discussion to the unwashed masses and don’t crap in the yards of other SBN sites if you decide to go over there. They’re passionate about their teams too, no need to troll elsewhere and/or be a sore winner." --BP

You can hit someone in the head with a shoulder and not get suspended? Tell that to Donald Brashear. And he didn’t even actually hit Betts in the head.

and Carter scores to tie the game. I generally don’t give two [poops] about Devils fans, but I would be livid that he’s still in the game.

100% agree. that was some wreckless shit right there

Still waiting for someone to draft Paul Newman. . .

Carter should not have been on the ice to score that goal in the 1st place.
To my eyes, he targeted Salmala’s head on that hit.

What amazing date in history are we giong back to today, Mr. Peabody?

by dlw66 on Feb 8, 2010 8:47 PM EST reply actions  

Where is that vaunted NJ defense and goaltending. Given that they gave up 2 goals in less than 2 minutes.

eek

@Jay_Grossman: Salmela has refractured broken nose and lost several teeth. Will not return tonight, but will be OK.

I have a C on my heart.

Evgeny Kuznetsov hams it up as he joins the Russia men's national team for the "Sweden Games" leg of the Euro Hockey Tour in Helsinki, Finland.

There's a bit of controversy as their game against the Finns is scheduled to be played in Helsinki's outdoor Olympic Stadium.   Where the daytime temps are currently approximately minus-15 degrees Celsius, with periodic heavy snow.

This interview with head coach Zinetula Bilyaletdinov is fascinating, as he frets about the weather and especially when the reporters press him on the leaked reports that Kuznetsov will be centering the top line for Team Russia, just weeks after his 20th birthday.
