some kid 0 Report post Posted October 27, 2007 It was ugly, the way he hit the boards and fell. His head was crunched into the boards, it was disgusting-looking. Only update so far is that he's still unconscious at the hospital. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jooks91 0 Report post Posted October 27, 2007 He didn't get run. It was a chase for the puck, he got low to put the brakes on and got crunched into the lip on the boards. during 2nd intermission Jones had a statement read. "...i'm sorry I hit him like that, that's not my normal style of play, hope all works out for him... blah, blah, blah" that'll definetly leave a mark, tho. looks bad on the re-play, I don't think there was malice in the hit, just an ugly pileup.

Detroit # 1 Fan 2,204 Report post Posted October 27, 2007 It wasent a dirty hit, but it really hurt Bergeron, he left the arena unconsicious and it wouldnt surprise me if that neck is broken. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BringHomeTheCup! 0 Report post Posted October 27, 2007 I don't think the question here is whether or not the hit was dirty, but rather what is the NHL going to do about it. I wouldn't be surprised to see some action taken against the Flyers organization. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

haroldsnepsts 4,826 Report post Posted October 27, 2007 Holy crap. Philly once again. It was a hit from behind as he hit him square on the numbers, but didn't look like an intended cheapshot. He wasn't even looking at Bergeron when he hit him. Still a penalty though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

auxlepli 17 Report post Posted October 28, 2007 The f***in Flyers need to learn the rules of hockey and start abiding by them. He didn't get run, but it was a hit in the back, from behind. Maybe professional players need to wear stop signs too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OsGOD 3 Report post Posted October 28, 2007 (edited) Just heard it on HNIC. concussion and a broke nose... Patrice "lucky" Bergeron get well soon. Seriously... thats all??? thank god! I mean that looked horrific. Makes you want the mandatory whistle for icing... especially watching so many OHL games now.

HockeyCrazy3033 168 Report post Posted October 28, 2007 This absolutely fumes me. The Flyers are a no good, disgraceful, classless piece of s*** team. Someone needs to do something about that team. Hopefully Patrice is okay. Best of luck to him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SweWings 45 Report post Posted October 28, 2007 Suspension? I don't know...Hit to the head sure and it looked nasty - but there wasn't any "malice" nor could I notice any kind of intent to injure, he just went a bit too far. Maybe a few games who knows. But it looks more accidental in that he was as badly hurt as he was... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But it looks more accidental in that he was as badly hurt as he was... Regardless if it was an accident, or intentional, Jones has a few thing working against him: 1. Downie 2. Boulerice 3. Jones also plays for the Flyers 4. NHL supposed 'crackdown' this year It was a hit to the head. If the NHL is really going to be tough on hits to the head, Jones will be suspended.

LIDDYGIBBY5 1 Report post Posted October 28, 2007 (edited) It wasent a dirty hit, but it really hurt Bergeron, he left the arena unconsicious and it wouldnt surprise me if that neck is broken. How can you say it wasn't a dirty hit!!?? He lined him up and crushed him from behind. He never tried to hold himself up, he extended himself and finished the check all while being squared up with the name and number on the back of the jersey. The only thing he didn't do was leave his feet, thank God for that because he probably would have killed him. What can come from a check like that besides an injury? Jones saw he was in a vulnerable and didn't slow down at all. If it wasn't dirty, why did Jones come during the intermission and apologize and say that he doesn't play like that? It was a dirty cheap shot from a franchise that has decided that they are going to crush everyone on the ice whether it is clean or not. They don't care if the injure someone and most games they look to! Edited October 28, 2007 by LIDDYGIBBY5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lfd250 1 Report post Posted October 28, 2007 Makes you want the mandatory whistle for icing... Would be a start for sure. True, however this case it was just a dump in. Becareful what you wish for Betmen would probably love to take hitting out of the game so people score more and it brings more fans. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

eva unit zero 271 Report post Posted October 28, 2007 Makes you want the mandatory whistle for icing... Would be a start for sure. Jones' hit had nothing to do with icing; it was one played gathering up the puck from a dump-in and another player viciously boarding him. That should be a significant suspension, although he didn't seem to have the intent to injure like Downie and Boulerice, so it shouldn't be that steep.
