Ohnoeszz Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 Bieksa slashes every opportunity he has. It's extremely cheap and it's obvious he's going about hacking limbs to hurt the other player and gain an advantage. It's going to come back around on him or his teammates. Bieksa likes to take liberties with his stick under the guise of trying to make a hockey play and I agree, I'm tired of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VanIsleNuckFan Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 This is the type of crap that makes the NHL fans around the league happy when Canucks lose. They are a hated team for a reason What is even worse is that Bieksa went on the radio today and said he didnt even know Havlat was injured or missing when asked about Havlat being injured by Sekeres. Cmon KB, you are better than this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VanIsleNuckFan Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 What the frack is with all these people ostracizing the team. I did notice that in the next few generations, there sure are a lot of guys who a str8 up pussys.. Go cry to mamma if you don't like it! No one here gives a crap!

Captain Aerosex Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 Yeah it's dirty, but this is the kind of stuff that happens game in, game out in the playoffs. Nothing to see here. That was a love tap. Kesler sold that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GodzillaDeuce Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 I'm sure it hurt but if he's really out for the game tonight there had to be something else wrong with him that they're hiding. We've seen players return to a game after way worse than that. No way did that cause enough damage to keep him out of a playoff game! Remember, Salo took a Duncan Keith (man, do I hate him!!) slapshot off the personal cup and had to leave the game to be taken to the hospital with a suspected ruptured testicle. When they realized it was "only" bruised, he suited up and played the very next game. Now, Havlat might not be Salo tough, but I doubt he's that much of a baby that a little stick action knocked him out without there being something else (hip issue?) going on.

BenDrinkin Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 Gimme a break, everyone knows Havlat isn't exactly the toughest guy on the planet. I think we are hated for different reasons than this play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spook007 Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 Then he could have just used his body and blocked him, instead of slashing him in the nuts. Anyway, it's fine, not a huge deal. It's just kind of funny then when people start crying about Canucks players getting slashed and no penalties being called. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
La Mauviette75 Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 So let me get this right, you'd rather take the high road...lose and then moan about being bullied??? God you must have taken a lot of crap in your life... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monty Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 Haven't read one comment on this thread. As for Havlat, I have always loved his skill and is one of my favourite players. That said, let's be serious, he gets injured whenever he steps on the ice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elvis15 Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 Wasn't that hard, done more to control Havlat than hurt him (that was just an added bonus) and for Bieksa to expect he'd injure Havlat out of that is unrealistic unless he was thinking Havlat's so fragile a stiff wind would hurt him. Not that anyone deserves a shot to the nuts, but there's this: Sens' Havlat suspended five games Ottawa Senators star wing Martin Havlat was suspended five games by the NHL for kicking Boston defenseman Hal Gill. Havlat will lose more than $66,000 for the suspension. He will begin serving the suspension Friday, when Ottawa visits the Tampa Bay Lightning. Colin Campbell, the NHL director of hockey operations, cited a two-month period during the 2003-04 season when Havlat was disciplined three times in two months, including a two-game suspension for kicking. Havlat kicked Gill in the groin during the second period of Ottawa's 5-1 victory over the Bruins. Havlat's kick came after he was pushed in the back of the net by the Bruins defenseman. Gill was not hurt and a penalty was not called. On January 2, 2004, Havlat was suspended two games after kicking New York Islanders defenseman Eric Cairns in front of the New York goal at 9:56 of the third period. He also was suspended two games for a high-sticking incident in March 2004. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honeydew Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 If you know how Bieksa covers the slot like that its normal for him to bounce people off like that. This time it was just unfortunate that the stick was just a bit lower, usually he'd throw a chest hit to get the guy off balance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Money Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 This is Havlat we're talking about. Dude can barely step on the ice without getting hurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riffraff Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 You don't play hockey, do you? It's a standard tactic for d-men to put their stick in-between the opponents leg to impede their mobility. Sometimes you can take a free shot if the ref doesn't notice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
