Yah it's stupid to let it get to you. But all fans must defend their team, even when it's difficult to in this situation.

When did i do that? and look to my previous post saying that i agree some flames players acted wrong. see what i'm saying about your close-mindedness?

On the other hand it's hard to debate with some of you because you're so closed minded, thinking the wings are holier than thou. At least i've kept my mind open and agree to an extent that some players acted completely wrong.

Kipper fought Vokun in a big brawl back in 04.

Seriously, im curious. If this whole situation were reversed, and you guys were down in the series and getting killed in game 5, how would you react if your backup came in and acted like McLennan?

If it happened, it wouldn't surprise me based on Hasek's past with the fight in the friendly pickup game and his swing at Iginla.

Fair enough. We all have tempers and some lose it easier than others. Langkow obvioulsy lost his and acted in the moment. Still doesn't justify his actions though.

thank you. I had to restrain myself from that insult. Isn't free speech the american way?

Hypocrite? I agree that Langkow acted wrong.

Yah i'm all for one of your goons to come out and fight Langkow and settle it like men, not cheap babies. Kipper's done nothing wrong here, so why go after him? The wings would be stooping to Calgary's level.

Great post!

Wow, that's real sportsmanship at its best.

Thanks for restating what I just said. And yes, Bootuzzi hasn't done anything dirty, yet.

That's because he knows that if he does anything, his career will be finished.

I think we'd play better without playfair.

I honestly think that McLennan acted on his own and wasn't told by Playfair to act like he did. Playfair isn't that smart.

Have you?

I don't see how a punch to the head with a hockey glove on can give you a concussion, it's not like Langkow smashed Lebda's head into the ice. Fights with bare hands happen all the time, and you don't see concussions coming from those. Obviously Lebda is out from the hit on Langkow, not the sucker punch, and the media is using the sucker punch as a scapegoat. Langkow should have received a penalty on the play, but nothing further.

What about Dom swinging his stick at Iginla?? He was half a swing away from being just as bad as Noodles.

Just shows he's not such a GREAT guy like you guys think.

That's the reason for my comment. Check this out. http://www.radio.cz/en/news/43896#3 Charges against ice hockey star Hasek reduced to misdemeanour The Pardubice state prosecutor has reduced to a misdemeanour a charge against ice hockey star Dominik Hasek, who was accused of attacking an opponent during a game of in-line hockey. Police had requested that Mr Hasek, who is 38, face a charge of assault in connection with the incident, which left the other player with a broken nose and concussion. Mr Hasek, who has enjoyed an extremely successful career, recently rejoined the club Detroit Red Wings, a year after retiring from the game. Looks like Hasek is just as classy as Noodles.

how about opening your eyes?? What about that disallowed goal?? And your team is a bunch of euro women.

i'm not saying that osgood would do that. I'm just asking how you fans would have reacted if it did happen. How would you feel if Hasek was continuously getting run into with no help from the refs? I'd guess pretty pissed off. (I love america, all the swearing you want on public forums)
