So punching a guy in the nads from behind is within the rules? Good to know!

Bull s***.

Big deal. He sprayed the kid. The kid probably thought it was awesome.

actually, i think the NHL stepping in and purchasing one of its own teams is "an embarrassment to the NHL" there shouldn't be an NHL team in arizona. period.

Wow, my timetable was off, but otherwise, I'm good.

Repeatedly cross-checking a guy must now be within the rules too! Nice!

Doesn't hurt that Fleury is almost as overrated as Fatso.

Didnt u hear crosby signs things without pens...

I miss Hasek. Having him here was like a dream. I loved the Hasek/Osgood tandem. We had two excellent veteran, experienced, Stanley Cup-winning goaltenders who had nothing in the way of ego problems and got along fantastically. It was wonderful, and I think it could only have happened with this organization.

Hudler will be "Little Ball of Happiness".

This is how I feel about it too.

That's because he was stopping. There's no rule that says you can't stop at the puck, or even "stop it in." The only thing the rule says is what we all know about a "distinct kicking motion." To me, that involves movement from the knee, or your foot moving at a different rate than the rest of you, not just repositioning your foot.

My point exactly.

Agree with this post 100%. P.S. Watch out for Carman trolling.

Woohoo!!! In the words of a wrestling legend.. Dominik Hasek was the best there is, the best there was, and the best there ever will be!!

I'd bet we've seen Williams' end in Detroit. Abs simply is better.

Annd I just used up my quota of + votes in this tread.

they just went easy on him because he's old

i hope we had *** sex together

not a Coyote photoshop, but I just felt like doing a wallpaper: its a little bigger than 1024 x 768 because i added the border, but it should scale down fine.

must have thought, no point in having a team if hudlers gone.

people are so concerned over such stupid s***. He is a kid, ovi didn't body check him, didn't slash him. He gave him a jokingly snow shower. WAH WAH WAH! MOMMY!?!?! I would be pumped if ovi thought enough to notice me. If he had just skated by people would probably be pissed ovi didn't notice that poor child.

If that means punched in a face in civil I'd say no one as I generally don't "hate" any player. They're only players and you don't judge them as human beings based on what they do on the ice. If you wanna judge them as human beings, then you need to look what they've done off-ice. And I don't think many of us really know what players do in civil. To hate some player because he scores a goal against your team, plays nasty or something like that is just stupid. They can be totally different guys in real life. Hockey is just a game. It's a different thing if that means punched in a face in a hockey fight or something like that because that's part of the game and players usually agree to fight the other players. Hoping for player X to get hit by a bus etc. is always related to civil life, not the game on ice and therefore it's pretty weird too. Also, if a player sucks and doesn't play as you like, it's totally stupid to start hating him because of that. It's also funny to see hate towards players who are overpaid. The GM offers a contract to Brian Campbell and he agrees to it (wouldn't you?) and suddenly all the fans hate the player - and usually the person too even though they've probably never even met him - because his cap hit is too big. Hockey is just a game people.
