Guest bullocks Report post Posted May 19, 2007 "I'm not sure that Scotty Niedermayer 's 100 percent. He doesn't look right. He's not skating the same way, he's not handling the puck the same way. He's competing, and he's caring. But he looks hurt." -- Pierre McGuire , of TSN, after Anaheim's Game 4 victory Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He's fine, Val is just that quick... A lot of people speculate that their fav. players' subpar performance must be due to an undisclosed injury . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Duckette 0 Report post Posted May 19, 2007 He's really not ok. He hasn't been 'ok' since he had that stress fracture in his foot, which didn't heal and he didn't have surgery on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
haroldsnepsts 4,826 Report post Posted May 19, 2007 Maybe he's worried about messing up his hair, and that's throwing off his game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If Flip got by him twice, he must be injured, I see the logic now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rivalred 630 Report post Posted May 19, 2007 I am not too worried about Scott Niedermayer or Chris Pronger as een with Pronger out of game 4 the Ducks won....I think the biggest impact Niedermayer for the Ducks has been Rob. He made a difference in game 4, but with him being ejected in game 3 that would explain the outcomes of both games a little. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think you mean Niedermayer. And that's not all I ever hear. All I ever hear is butt kissing for the Sabres, Red Wings, Canucks (that made me SO sick) and the Pens. Thats all I get here in Florida, if not that, Tampa Bay butt kissing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HockeyCrazy3033 168 Report post Posted May 20, 2007 I think he's hurt. I was just saying to my family the other day while watching the game that he looks completely off.

Vincanni 1 Report post Posted May 20, 2007 This far into the playoffs everyone is either returning from injury or hurt in some way shape or form. The idea is to have the heart to push through those injuries or have enough talent beforehand to were you can afford to play at 80-90%. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

motorcitykid 42 Report post Posted May 20, 2007 (edited) Strange. You can't find anyone who likes McGuire - yet he keeps his job. There has never been a man born who loves the sound of his own voice more than him. And he makes you feel he's actually talking crap most times, the way he always talks like he's actually "in the know".

Well you live in Florida - so Ducks coverage is not their top priority (nor hockey at all). Most of the media analysts picked the Ducks to win this series - go watch Melrose clips on ESPN.com. They love the Ducks - so I don't think you can cry about your team not getting enough love... At least the Ducks got something right by signing Niedermayer - I have alot of respect for him as a player. You won't see him head hunting anyone out there. Hurt? I doubt it - he's just had a few bad games - and give the Wings some credit too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
