well, I think I found a team in the East that I like now! at Talbot The Turtle (and from the way you got your ass kicked later, you should just keep turtling)

Fa-Q Mario! If your team was the one kicking ass and winning the hockey game, you wouldn't had said a single word! It's just too bad your whiney ***** Crosby wasn't out there to get his head ripped off!

Hell even without Cooke he shouldn't open up his pie hole. Unless he thinks the Pens should be fined (which they should be) for letting their players leave the bench.

In baseball, if a player leaves the dugout to join in a brawl on the field, the player is fined and suspended, as is that team's manager. Usually the team's manager is fined anyway if there's a brawl, but then especially. It wasn't always like that, before you could see the dugouts and bullpens emptying on the field during a fight, but MLB has done a lot to get away from that.

The only bad thing is that Cooke wasn't involved in the game. Would have loved to see Gilles knock him into next month.

When i think of Mario and fighting, i think of this,



Always brings a smile to my face. The Pens were never short of a goon to protect Lemieux during his career.

Mario Lemieux crys about the the disipline against the Islanders...ummm buddy...I seem to remember a Matt Cooke getting away with intent to hurt players aka Marc Savard and those many knee on knee hits as well. Lemieux...maybe it's best if you keep your mouth shut and discipline Matt Cooke.

Mario Lemieux crys about Islanders punishment.

Great video! I guess living with Mario taught Crosby how to be such a big whiner as well!

And Steigerwald still bitching about the Islanders game during today's game. Glad to see Pittsburgh go down in losing fashion again.

[St. Michael (the Red Wing)]

As much as I respect Mr. Lemieux, I've always regarded him more on the cry-baby side of the fence when it comes to hockey. Man's a legend no doubt so whatever he has to say privately or like now publicly he gets heard. However as mentioned before Cooke going unpunished for some of his tatics this year and last year are obscurd. One game ends up like old time hockey and you're gonna *****? Really? Maybe the league should make the nets bigger and allow no hitting so Sid can score more and skate around untouched and when he gets hit cries. GTFO Mario...

[KillerB14]

Maybe he was argueing the fact that Bylsma could have been fined for not controlling his bench but no fine was given.

The player got 9 games, that's huge. Seems they wanted to make it bad but not as bad as the punishment for leaving the bench to go double up on some guy like Goddard did and was given 10 by default.

Mario opens his mouth about the state of the league.

I found this interesting, but hard to swallow from someone who hurt the integrity of the game constantly with dives and whining about officiating. Sounds like more complaining to me, but what do you think?

I am kind of curious what he things the suspensions should have been. I am also curious to know what he thinks about the length of Matt Cookes suspension. He is asking for the league to send a message. Should't they FINALLY send a message to a guy who has injured multiple players with his cheap, dirty play ?

Best.video.ever. Typical Lemieux! What a puss! Oh wah, I got punched so hard my legs don't work!

[RedWingsRox]

Wow ... NYI 7, Buf 6 ... 2 players with hatrick.
Penguins lose to NYR.
Whatever you think about the Islanders ... they are a fun bunch to watch lately.
Islanders > Penguins

Two words for you Mario, MATT COOKE.

Thank you. I didn't watch this game and only saw...um..."highlights", but I kept thinking that the least they could have done is hold off on Cooke's suspension. At least till after this game. OH, how I would have loved seeing him get pummeled.

What Gilles and Martin did were pretty disgusting, but other than that, I love a good fight or beatdown. I thought both deserved longer suspensions than what they got.

Or we could just wait until they play Atlanta again.

As an owner of an NHL team, I should expect a fine for Mario now. Probably not in the Mark Cuban-range, but certainly enough to send a message to the rest of the league. $50k? I mean, if they can fine Dean Lombardi. . .

[spongebob is a wings fan]

As if the 9-3 loss to the NYI wasn't enough salt on the wound, the Pens bus crashed the following day on the way to practice. Reports are that it was a minor crash and everyone is okay, but it seems their bad luck didn't end in the arena.

Link.

LOL Matt Cooke blind sided the bus driver

No kidding - would've loved to see Cooke's gap between his teeth widened a bit more

As for Mario's comments - anyone here think he'll be fined by the league?

[F.Michael]

True, but not in the head or neck. Plus, he deserved it. So not necessarily the same but not entirely different.

Well - actually Dmac did knee Lemieux in the head as they were up along the boards (mind you after McCarty jumped/sucker punched him).

I didn't mind what McCarty did - in fact I was/am still proud of the fact that he gave Lemieux what he deserved.

[Wings_Toledo]

As for Mario's comments - anyone here think he'll be fined by the league?

He definitely should be. Personally, I think his comments were way out of line. When he is running the league, he can make decisions on who gets suspended and for how long. Until then, he needs to keep the criticism to himself.
