Goon

[esteef 2,679]

I heard Eric Godard was hanging out with some hot strippers, doing good drugs, kicking people's asses and getting his scary sexy goon sweat all over the Stanley Cup last night. I wonder what Maltby was doing.

Maltby was shining his 4 Stanley Cup Rings and World Cup while reminiscing about actually playing in the post-season those years (unlike Godard).

To quote Col. Sherman T. Potter, "horse puckey!"

Give me a break. Good hockey is ALWAYS entertaining. You want "entertainment", go watch the WWF. I've never been bored by a Red Wings game, because I find the sport of hockey interesting, and therefore it's entertaining.

Entertaiment means a show and if it's a show you want, go to a tractor pull or something.

Personally I think fights are entertaining, merely as a side show and byproduct of intense hockey and rivalries, which is, in and of itself, not a necessity by any stretch, but a dessert to a hearty meal of hockey. In this case, Kenny has been on a goon-free diet for quite some time now, which either new Red Wings fans or wanna-be tough guys have a hard time coping with. Regarding the plunge some here have taken to the enforcer/goon nonsense, it looks far more like religion and insecurity, which is a common theme when it comes to compensation or hard-headed, unchanging beliefs. I can see it now in their manly tough guy cliques (probably like hockeyfights) -- HAHA UR RED WINGS DONT FIGHT 50+ TIMES A YEAR. *******! Do you drive a Prius too and drink wine coolers?!

There's a reason this attitude is shown so often in comedy skits.

Damn cute. And notice how they called Maltby tough. Careful with those words around here. Maltby doesn't drop the gloves, and if you don't do that, there's no such thing as tough. If only Malts could do a tombstone piledriver like the Undertaker.

They took our... I won't do it. I've posted that video too many times.

Are you comparing the staunch enforcer crowd to diabetics? Haha. I've actually been clamoring for a splenda type replacement. Or if we're lucky, foods made with xylitol. You get some of the benefits of toughness with less of the usual side effects.

I actually kinda just kinda pulled that out of my ass. Now that you mention diabetics, it's even better.

I think that all of the pro-enforcer posters here are terrible people, who probably punch pregnant women for fun and strangle kittens, just to compensate for their lack of toughness and desire to see more hockey fights.

Hey, I'm getting kind of good at this thing. Maybe I'll jump to the other side from now on.

If only we picked up Chris Simon from the KHL. I wouldn't put it past him to pull off a Tombstone Piledriver.

PS: I ended up checking out the PK situations and who was on the ice. I got to about December and then realized it was stupid and taking too long. Most of the goals then were given up when Zetterberg was on the ice (a lot were 5-on-3 mind you) and I only saw one that Maltby had been on the ice for.

Still... "he's lazy and he sucks"

Hell no. The Stone Cold Stunner is where it's at. Haha, yeah right. I've done that to some of my friends and that doesn't do s***. Admittedly we were drunk half the time but that doesn't make it any less of a buzzkill that the move looks far more serious than it hurts. The Bret Hart sharpshooter on the other hand does hurt. Not sweet.

Got a hamstring pull getting the sharpshooter drunk once. Horrible choice for time of a wrestling match. And the Stone Cold Stunner is where it's at But a move that doesnt do s***? Peoples elbow, useless.

(I love this thread, gone from discussing goons, to manhood and whos tough and whos not, a debate about Maltby being useful, GMR jumping ship that dirty bastard , and now WWE talk)

Or how about that one time Ben Eager body slammed some canuck to the ice?

Wasnt that the same game Burrows was yanking on Keiths hair? And Bieksa and some dude had there whole upperbody padding ripped off? Pretty much a WWE show that night was.

Hey you moron - meatheads like us punch kittens, and strangle pregnant women...Get it straight dammit!...Your baffoonery is gonna make us look insecure.

Now back to your scheduled programming; Muppets on Ice.

Let me guess, you'd like it more if the muppets fought each other, which would compensate for your own desire to see Wings fights. You're a terrible person for wanting more entertainment at Wings games.

Say what you want, enforcer threads are the best threads on LGW. Remember that one Downey thread during the playoffs which just wouldn't go away? Priceless.

Oh come on. At what other point can you simulate a wrestling match other than drunk? Haha. But I have to agree, the people's elbow was the most worthless move ever... And it came from my favorite character. Ah well.

I can totally imagine Corry Perry attempt to Chyna low blow a player. Hopefully if he ever does it it'll be on guys like Ott or Tootoo.

Cant argue that, nothing more fun then enforcer threads. And the best part of the Downey thread, was the timing, during the playoffs? yeah lets ***** about toughness then!

Or how about that one time Brian "The Badass" Rafalski slammed someone to the ice? (I forget who, haha)

Good call

A dirtbag cheapshotting another dirtbag? Nah, unless it were a Triple Threat match, could throw Pronger, Burrows, and Malts in there and have a nice Hell in a Cell.

Are you being serious? If you are then I'm totally blanking on that episode and I'm going to hate myself when I remember it.

[titanium2 867]

That or maybe I'm too insecure to admit that I have a thing for Miss Piggy

Back off! She's having my baby! You leave this family alone!

[Guest Shoreline]

Kinda comes natural for you - doesn't it?

Oh yes, master of substance and intelligent debate. Teach me thy baseless ad hominem ways. ---v

You mean act like a jerk toward fellow posters, and be an arrogant ass if you don't agree with them?...You sir are the master of such a fine art!

I certainly enjoy acclamations from a person who doesn't dare make personal attacks against other posters, particularly regarding their past relationships. As mentioned before, I may be an arrogant ass, but at least I'm not a hypocrite, which is far worse. Chin up, cowboy. How about some peanuts? *points to previous post*

I remember Rafalski slamming someone to the ice, but it wasn't a legit fight because I've looked all over for it. I 100% know it happened, I just can't recall it properly. It's a bummer too, because I thought it was awesome and for two seconds it made me forget about his defensive lapses.

Youre thinking royal rumble not hell in a cell and if we're putting cheapshot artists in how about we toss in steve downie
