kylee 727 Report post Posted October 22, 2009 notice how dustin byfuglien goes to start more trouble (again) although i understand that their captain got leveled (on a clean hit) and thats going to cause the rough-housing, but why does a clean, hard hit need to always be succeded by a scrap?

Donaldjr2448 43 Report post Posted October 22, 2009 The was a great CLEAN hit!! The thing that pissed me off was the fact that after the hit Vancouver had a breakaway with Sedin and the play was stopped because Chicago players went after Mitchell and wanted to fight!! AFTER A CLEAN HIT!! I just don't understand this game sometimes! People want hitting and then a "star player" gets caught with his head down and all of a sudden this is a terrible thing!! Not to mention Mitchell then gets a penalty because he was involved in the tussel after the CLEAN HIT!! Someone please explain this to me!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gordie Howe hat trick 110 Report post Posted October 22, 2009 It was beautiful. My roomates are Hawk fans and they were bitching about it. "He is our captain! You cant do that!" Yeah you can do that, and he just did. Great hit by Mitchell. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest E_S_A_D Report post Posted October 22, 2009 You agree with a statement I never made? So now you are going to join the bandwagon that you're pro-enforcer and pro toughness. Every post you post about tough hockey is in regards to a tough guy not being needed or a tough team. Here are a few of your posts, these are your words... go back and read if you'd like.... After reading these, either you like to argue, or you're purely anti-toughness and this check was probably very hard for you to watch by Mitchell. Your Quotes, a collection, by sir E_S_A_D: The whole "enforcers keep players from getting run" argument isn't exactly proven. Sure, but the point is that the Wings safety, well-being, and success doesn't hinge on if they have an enforcer. Do I think that without an enforcer like May the Wings will not succeed? Hell no. I cannot understand how an enforcer "prevents" players from committing cheap shots. Cheap shots have been and are still in the game regardless of an enforcer being in the lineup. I am arguing that an enforcer isn't a deterrent and that an enforcer isn't someone who is going to suddenly make a team tough and have fewer injuries and cheapshots during the season. Was Detroit intimindated last year when an enforcer wasn't even in the lineup? En route to a second seed in the playoffs and to game 7 of the stanley cup finals? With 7.4 million invested in a complete piece of garbage? I think you guys overrate May's abilities. Having one enforcer who plays 5 minutes a night on the fourth line is not the only form of intimidation, if you find that intimidating at all. No one doubts that goons and enforcers can play the sport of hockey. We are talking about compared to NHL caliber players. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I appreciate the amount of effort you put into trying to prove me wrong. 2. None of those prove that I am anti-enforcer. They only show that I don't find the same importance of having an enforcer as others do. They are entertaining. They are not necessarily a game-breaker. They do not necessarily prevent cheap shots. They don't necessarily bring "justice". Would you care to provide a quote where I say that I do not like enforcers, hitting, or any kind of violence in hockey? Because I have yet to see that. And actually you have purposely cherry picked my quotes and left out the statements I've made where I've said that fighting is entertaining and fun to watch. Around and around we go....

Your Quotes, a collection, by sir E_S_A_D: SIR* ESAD - First off, I'm really impressed with your French, but I have a question. Did you use that linguistic mode to impress us or because it would limit scrutiny of your statement? And yes, that's a rhetorical question. Secondly and lastly - to spend this much time on proving your point(s) shows either or both a great deal of insecurity and obsession on your part; and way too much time on your hands. Either way, I'm pretty sure you think you mean well, but I cannot take you seriously anymore. And your newly self-appointed royal entitlement (*) does not add to your legitimacy. Peace out.

Early in the season? I didn't know big hits were supposed to be reserved for mid to late season. If he had let up, such a thing being hard to control, he may have been run over and gotten hurt. Toews is fine, he just learned a lesson, albeit the hard way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jollymania 162 Report post Posted October 22, 2009 Clean hit, but Willie should of let up as Toews had his head down. No need for such a big hit so early in the season. Well what comes around goes around for these teams as all last year Byfuglien ran Luongo, Mitchell saw the opportunity and obviously wasn't going for head contact, just a clean, solid hit, you need to take that opportunity because those out of the penalty box hits rarely occur and rarely do you see a guy as dumb ass brouwer (good last name at least) make that pass, and the bs whistle prevented a goal being scored on the play, but they won anyways. This might get heated enough this season to become a good rivalry. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Z Winged Dangler 2,082 Report post Posted October 22, 2009 That's a hit of Kronwall quality. That's what happens when you've got your head down going through the neutral zone, though. yup, and when you get a SUICIDE pass from your linemate. this once again shows a major flaw in todays NHL where you're not allowed to hit a guy and KEEP ******* PLAYING hockey! skate it off and play the game. every time someone gets a good clean check in hockey a meaningless scrum insues. rewind to before most of us, myself included, were born and the guys in the NHL were tough, and could take care of themselves when they got hit with a clean bodycheck. and this is in no way a biased post...toews is one of my favorite players and i dislike willie mitchell. but it was a clean hard hit on like i said above, a suicide pass.
