All good things, but hit from behind and you get no respect from me, and you don't deserve it either. You must have a difficult time watching today's games. This is normal fair served up on a nightly basis, with a side of hows that for head into the dasher. Hockey is not a clean game it really never was, have you ever seen the film Rocket?

I don't find it difficult, but I have much more respect for those who play the right way. It's a fast game and $&!# happens, but if a calculated intent to injure like say, a Pronger foot stomp, has literally no place in the game. It's punk ass hockey, which is why to this day very few people actually care about the way his career came to an end. @grumpworsley No I haven't seen Rocket, only the Rock 'em Sock 'ems and Slapshot for hockey movies.

Guys at that level are skilled enough to know what they are doing. Steen was frustrated, because he couldn't move Bo off the puck. It was a spchicken "bleep" cross check.

Cross checks happen all night long and I don't have a problem with them, generally, but that was definitely a good one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The players all wear the same equipment, and know where the ribs are most vulnerable. Steen will get his. And I agree with you because you are 100% correct.

The St Louis game was the exact opposite of that for both teams and as such, was an excellent game. I expect the same out of Buffalo to be honest. 2 young ish teams with lots to prove.

I have always liked Steen and thought he played a respectable game, until last night. Now he's a dink. He's dead to me. And I likethe Blues! I can't believe he got off clowning around like that! I'll be interested in how Bo reacts the next time they play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The point was to call you guys out on your inability to take him to task on his systems. Didn't hear anything from you but 'I can't - but I still don't like him.......I'll sidestep the issue and complain about the lines on opening night - during a win." Pointless. For all you know the decision had as much to do with Gaunce as anything else. You don't know the grounds/conditions behind the decision, but of course you know better. Team is 3-0 and you're dwelling on the lines from three games ago. You remind me of the 'they traded ma Cody' crowd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like how you don't even quote my whole comment, you must work for the media! You must have had a clear understanding of the grounds and conditions behind the decision, or any other decision made by WD. My bad man. Clearly having an opinion isn't enough for you because you work with the coach right. YOU know better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your opening statement was an avoidance of the point I raised, so why should I bother with the rest of your post? Hey, I recently reread the Granlund trade thread. You should give it a go.

And the thing is, for the first three games, he barely hit anyone yet. It's only getting started. He allows our D to play bigger and Hutton to play more free. If he's not a legit top four I don't know who is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It took a while for Sbisa and he is playing a lot better from when we first acquired him. I would think Gudbranson would improve once he finds himself more accustomed and comfortable here.

Did you ever see the movie Rio Bravo with John Wayne and Ricky Nelson/Dean Martin? There is a part in the show when Dean Martin asks John Wayne if Ricky Nelson is as good with a gun as he used to be. Wayne responds that "he is so good that he doesn't have to prove it to anyone". I think Guddy is our equivalent of that Ricky Nelson character.......he is the gunslinger nobody wants to mess with. He won't go looking for trouble but he will meet trouble head on when required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
