Sean Avery is one of my favorite players in the NHL, but what's he trying to prove by fighting w. Mottau? On top of it all, Mottau handled the fight prettywell....

I couldn't agree more, Gonchar's injury is definitely going to disrupt the rhythm they have started off with so far. Looks like the restof the league caught a break (no pun intended) with this injury.

this is exactly what me and my friends were talking about. i get the whole shake up and spreading out talent...but these guys had GREAT chemistry.with our entire first line from last year gone/out right now...gotta keep one strong line together.Originally Posted by bjm5295
Oh, and dear Claude. I know you know what youre doing and all, but please, keep the Ryder-Krejci-Wheeler line together at all times no matter who is injured. I dont know if you forgot last November-December, but they were the hottest line in hockey til you broke them up.

Exactly, one great line is better than two OK lines. It was right around when he broke them up Wheeler spiraled downhill and ended up inactive. Especially withBergy playing like an All Star all of a sudden, we can afford to have the new guys play together and develop their own chemistry.

I'm pretty sure its legal if a goalie does it.... I think Gerber did it a few years ago.

Looks like Halak is slowly taking the starting job from Price... just like what I said would happen before the season started.

Part of me wants to call Ruutu a bum and say he could have stopped but outside of clearing being a boarding call, the hit didnt look THAT bad. Speedy recoveryfor Darcy i hope.

No that hit was definetly THAT bad. I hate Tucker but that was a cheap shot. Ruutu is a dirtbag as is but this just reaffirms it. Horrible hit and he should besuspended. Tucker was clearly turned, the puck was given up, it was just a dirty play.

hit really didn't look like much... how about the guy missing the fairly open shot right after it though
that was terrible.

It was boarding, but definitely not suspension or fine-worthy IMO...the result was unfortunate, but those types of things do happen every now and again...

^Tucker is my guy and everything, lived beside me for 8 years while he was a Leaf.........unfortunate to see that hit last night.
As far as Ruutu, the hit itself wasn't the worst thing ever, it was just the fact that Tucker wasn't ready to brace himself and probably didn'texpect Ruutu to use as much force as he did. The way Tucker went into the boards was what made it look so bad. IMO this has to be a suspension because theyneed to start sending out a message to the rest of the league. There really was NO need for that hit, playing at a high level of hockey myself, those"shoves" into the boards happen all the time, you just have to control how hard you hit the guy into the boards and be aware that he may not beexpecting you to put you face first into the glass.
