Baka Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 It's ok cuz carkner asked and he declined, so it wasn't like a sucker punch. Boyle is known to fight on a regular basis so I don't buy it that he was completely defenseless. Good on carkner for getting his money's worth. Secondly if the Canucks had someone like this the Sedins might actually get some respect once in a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DownUndaCanuck Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 I love how the ref/linesman just stands there with his hand up as Boyle is inches and seconds away from being paralyzed for life. This league is a joke for the way in which it polices dirty hits, not only like these but for what Boyle did to Karlsson last game, and as a result anger builds up and players feel like they have to take things into their own hands which should never be the case or someone's career could be over. Shanahan and Bettman are getting embarassed big time by scrums like these which should never erupt if they policed the game properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butters Stoch Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Dubinsky getting ejected was total BS. He basically got ejected for getting in between the fight, but how is that even considered a fight? Boyle just got jumped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buddhas Hand Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 I watched it live and had the same thought as you: Dubinsky protects his teammate who does not intend to fight. How would that be the third man in? As I mentioned in other thread, what concerned me the most in this year's playoffs is that players have almost zero respect to other players. From Weber to Carkner and from Carkner to Hagelin and Burns, players are more interested in injuring star players or getting their own revenge rather than playing hockey.

Bill Sikes Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 absolutely brutal. league needs to suspend him big time. i dont care about what he did to karlsson, this was much worse. the league needs to put their foot down because if they dont you're going to have players doing this to stars.

Real deal - Stan Smyl Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Carkner did the right thing. Boyle is a douche. For those that don't understand the honor in the game, listen up. Boyle roughs up Karlsson in game one - total bs move if u ask me. Then when he is asked to answer for his cowardly act, he stands there with his hands by his side, presumably trying to ensure a pp. Defenseless? Not even close. Best thing the league could do is NOT suspend or fine Carkner, because the thing that really needs to be dealt with here is the Boyle / Karlsson incident, not the game two fight. Boyle got what he had coming, case is closed IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Sikes Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 I don't think we wou It's going to be interesting the next time we play the blackhawks (hopefully this playoffs!). With Boston, I don't think many teams would be willing to challenge them in this type of brawl. They simply have too many heavy hitters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Standing_Tall#37 Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 So... Ask a opposing player for a fight and opposing player declines. Check Punch opposing player in the face bare fist while he still has his gloves on. Check Pin him down on the ice and punch him 5 more times because clearly a player who has fought in the NHL before is not in a defenseless position when he is pinned down on the ice. Check Good on him? Remember this? Matt Bradley fights a lot too so obviously he is never defenseless by your theory. Bradley also actually accepts this fight just never gets set so he certainly was expecting it. And Carcillo forgets to follow it up with 5 extra punches when Bradley is down. Yet, Carcillo was suspended. But somehow Carkner didn't go way over the line? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Real deal - Stan Smyl Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Perfect. Standing tall totally gets it. Yup, the NHL refuses to give 20 game suspensions to detour obvious headshots. And frankly this bullying is one step down from that. You're probably from the younger generation that was raised to fink on your bully. I'm from the generation that was taught to take care of you're problem. Carkner solved the problem. I get it, you love the rangers, but Boyle wasn't innocent. And if he has the nerve to refuse what is the deterrent from going after stars???. Carkner did the right thing for his team, the right thing in hockey and has the right playoff mentality. I know it wouldn't fly in the Starbucks or mcdonalds that u work in, but the world is bigger than Vancouver & things are done alot different in the majority of the world. PS: if Chicago woulda responded to Daniel this way instead of headshoting him....his face might hurt abit, but he woulda missed 1 or 2 games at the most.

greenbean30 Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 I would hardly call it "getting jumped" when he knew it was coming, and chose to stand there ( or eventually lie there) with his hands in his pockets. feline move by Boyle after what he did to Karlsson. As for Dubinsky, 3rd man is what it is. Ejection is correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Real deal - Stan Smyl Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 I agree with you on the not getting jumped part, I disagree with calling Dubinsky 3rd man in. It wasn't a fight, Boyle never dropped the gloves. He got sucker punched and dropped. I don't think Dubinsky should've gotten ejected for sticking up for his team mate under these circumstances. If they had both dropped the gloves and Dubinsky jumped in, then I would agree with the call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobble Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Get rid of the instigator and let the players police themselves. NHL is doing a terrible job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greenbean30 Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Dubs was 3rd, the math is easy. Boyle roughs up a star rookie (total mismatch) and then won't answer the bell when he gets called on it ... Not cool. Ask yourself why the linesman didn't stop Carkner ... Could it be that EVERYONE watching understands that Boyle was simply getting what he had coming? Everyone except you, that is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
