Did anyone jump the FLA player after ???? Hit was fine. He picked him up and slammed him to the ice after. No pushback from anyone. The 2pts are apparently worth more than the guy who got us the 2 pts. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Canucks Curse Posted October 14, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted October 14, 2018 the hit was fine, it was the throw to the ground, that's dirt and the refs need to call that, its roughing and unnecessary. any update on the kid? That kid was flying, man we weant through this crap with boesser last year, why can we not just have a young star who does not get injured, its really depressing. I feel for Pete hope he is ok. 1 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

League needs to call it... deliberate intent to injure... directly planned by the player Matheson because he was humiliated. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was danced twice in the same shift... so the "boy" had to be punished. It was obvious. And if the league does not suspend Matheson a significant number of games, then Benning has to go get Ferland or someone similar to provide frontier justice/safety. The league will benefit from this kid very soon: money and prestige. They have to protect their stars.

Wish this team had some sort of obligation to protect its young players. Boeser, Pettersson and Horvat are on their own. The rest of the team made that clear tonight. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NHL97OneTimer Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 I'll admit that I love to see a good hit and the odd scrap on the ice but I'd MUCH rather see speed and skill on the ice. It seems as though the league can't have the best of both. If the league won't protect the stars, the teams have to. I remember the feeling well when Naslund was hit. The league wouldn't deal with it, so guess what.....we all wanted to see Moore get it. Not that way, but what a slippery slope things get in a league that won't do the proper thing. Time for them to take out fighting and dirty plays like this with harsh suspensions. The league will do just fine despite what some think. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look, they have never looked after individual players. They don't like stars. They don't promote individuals. The NHL is all about the logo on the front of the jersey and not about the name on the back. Players are grist for the mill and far as the few owners who run the league are concerned. The majority of the owners, and Aquilini is one, just have to suck it up and go along with the old boys bully club that is the NHL. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even the NFL is starting to think about the players -- lol they have no choice, what with lawsuits and political stuff happening. I hope the NHL does better than they did back in the day with Paul Kariya. Even the players association could do better. It's supposed to be a sport, built around a game. Not something else.

Popular Post Vicky Posted October 14, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted October 14, 2018 Missed the game - how did Matheson manage to leave the game under his own power? Embarrassing. What were all of these summer signings about when this type of play is allowed to go unchecked? 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What were all of these summer signings about when this type of play is allowed to go unchecked? One was injured with a broken wrist/bone (Beagle). The other just came off of concussion protocol (Rousell). And the last one, not sure if he even played or touched the ice after the hit (Schaller). Gud was buddy buddy with Panthers so not likely to happen. No one else on this roaster is gonna fight/be rough. And the guys on the ice probably did not even saw it. So a perfect wave in a sense. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mathew Barzal Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 I hate to be the one to say it, but this isn't going to even be close to the worst malicious play EP will encounter in his career. He needs to get stronger on his skates. Matheson is a 10/10 POS for throwing him down like that but what happens when its a Byfuglien or Burns instead? I said it at the start of the season and I'll say it again. Pettersson might be mentally ready to play in the NHL but he isn't physically mature enough to handle it. I don't want him finishing the year with a scrambled eggs for brains just so he can get a Calder and put fans in seats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't need Ferland to do this kind of job. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We okay next on Tuesday and it would be nice to see cdc exhale if he's in the lineup. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
