if it did it woudl be hard to keep ahold of datsyuk

He was jsut going for contact it looked like, happened to make head contact, so be it, clean hit, but some pretty lame camera angles from what I have seen. edit: pitt feed confirms my thoughts

I didn't feel any of abs's hits were impactful, and he got nailed by Byfuglien, Bertuzzi had one nice bump on Campbell but he wasn't a big presence, neither was pavel despite him dropping seabrook.

Biggest hit of the game was from Pavel, Stuart, Helm, and Abs needed to step it up.

i wasn't saying that...

aside from newburys goal they have had the same impact

i hope they just do it this one game though, we don't want to be like pittsburgh fans

no, anything done in hockey is far more impressive, and if you want the be all end all of toughness look at Malarchuk, if you want the pissing match to finally end.

Exactly, there are amazing feats in all sports, but the grind of hockey is something far more distinct and grueling than other sports.

If they want to keep him of fthe ice with the flu because he can't perform 100% theres nothing wrong with that. And the NHL regular season is all about nursing yourself for the brutal post season, and on top of that the reg nhl season is far more of a grind than any other sports, i mean think of boyle playing over 30 mins a night of hockey for 82 games, compare that to other sports like football where they play like 3 min in action of a game playing one simple position and only have like 17 games with whole weeks in between. Basketball challenges your cardio like hockey but no contact makes it a breeze compared to hockey, theres no wonder certain things hockey teams don't take chances with in the regular season.

still he woudln't be 100%, better just to rest him especially at his age, flu + hockey is a lot tougher to deal with than flu + football where your sitting on the bench or resting in between plays a majority of the time

your jsut making stuff up for who knows what reason to try to bash Rafalski, and your using a terrible argument considering hockey players are tougher than football players

Rafalski played through a seperated shoulder and bad back in the playoffs, thanks for ignoring that fact, and why risk having the whole team catchthe flu and not be able to play 100%

Didn't Raffi of all people play with some kind of shoulder separation in the Playoffs last year anyways? I'm pretty sure he did making that posters statement even more ludicrous.

Kane has proven he can be destroyed by lilja and clearly last year, and kronner almst destroyed him in the playoffs, Abs sorta got him on Sunday, but Abs has to jsut flatten him tonight, stuey can take Toews.

are you seriously saying other sports players are tougher? Football players would miss games over a broken toe for hecks sake, bball players are *******, earlier this year franzen played a period on a torn ACL, football players would just lay there and cry. Hockey players are constantly proving how much tougher they are than other sports, yeah they have to take precautions but most hockey players would play through anything if they could, and they do in the playoffs unless it is a terrible terrible injury.

malik's was jsut funny cause it was malik, though technically Pavel's was the best, everyone knows the between the legs shot.

true, he's mcuh closer to drake, though I hope he can fight like drake

hope you all got to see this live I got kicked from the thread on hf boards about it because i said it was clean bahahah, this one is clean and a beauty

i never called his phrases 'retarded' i clearly wrote 'retreaded', good to see the 'tough' crowd here not act like it, and yes he made a funny noise in the telecast he other night, senile is used to lightly insinuate being to old to do something properly my vocabulary

I liked his hit today, he is definitely a great hitter, hopefully he takes to dropping the gloves and scoring as well.

yeah, there was nothing boychuck could do but hit him in the head, but he can't give up a hit like that.

i figured you would cry, you obviously cannot take others' opinions
