Hairy Lime 234 Report post Posted April 12, 2012 Hank initiated it. Yeah, Weber did not need to slam his head into the glass, but I doubt he'll be suspended. Bert had a chance to do something, but did not. Maybe he didn't see the play, but I doubt he would of done anything even if he had. This team is neutered. But there is next game. Let's see how this team responds. Here's my bet: nobody on Detroit get's in Weber's face. That's easy money! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CapnSmitty 39 Report post Posted April 12, 2012 i never said it was okay did i? or are you blind? Never coming out directly and saying it no, but you are seemingly defending it, by saying things like jollymania, on 11 April 2012 - 10:58 PM, said:he didn't smash his head against the glass, it jsut wasn't hard and he sold the injury, he wasn't injured. It amazes me that you can think this way and call yourself a Wings fan, so Zetterberg sold it... got a question, have you EVER once laced up skates and played organized hockey? Or are you an Armchair Expert at the sport? 3 Klunzo, Zeowingsfan and Hockeymom1960 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lovin Jiri Fischer 147 Report post Posted April 12, 2012 I think it's bulls*** how players on certain teams (not just Nashville) clearly goon it up at the end of games with intent to injure and get nothing out of it when it's the playoffs. What Weber did was not hockey. It was just being a thug. He wasn't hurt, but he could have been. And this won't be the last time that this ******* does something suspension-worthy. I might be way off, but I consider it a privilege to make the playoffs, even when my team has made the playoffs for 99% of my life. Idiots like these don't deserve to be playing to represent their team in the fight for the Cup. 1 Rick D reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

haroldsnepsts 4,826 Report post Posted April 12, 2012 if weber would have connected with anything of extreme malice he would have koed z and sent him off on a stretcher. It is a plain and simple concept that some people here don't understand. So he wanted to slam his face into the glass, but not do it too hard? That's kind of a nonsensical position. 2 Zeowingsfan and AceInTheSleeve reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's kind of a nonsensical position. he was just roughing it up at the end of the game, it happens. It was obviously an attempt at intimidation and possible injury. If he wasn't walking the thin line he would have nearly killed z. Edited April 12, 2012 by jollymania Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Donaldjr2448 43 Report post Posted April 12, 2012 This is exactly why fighting needs to stay in the game. 10 years ago Weber would have had to drop the gloves with someone, but since this league is a waterdown pussyfest you can get away with cheap shots. League and game is a complete joke, no wonder the ratings blow. 1 Hack & Whack Rule! reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yzerfan1999 81 Report post Posted April 12, 2012 I don't think Weber will be suspended, and honestly, I dont think the Wings would benefit from him being gone unless it was for a significant period of time. If its just one game, i've seen teams actually rally around there player being gone and stepping up, playing better because of it. The Wings should just use this as motivation. Weber knows he did wrong, and he should be looking over his shoulder for the rest of the series. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jollymania 162 Report post Posted April 12, 2012 Wow you are a piece of work, I ask simple questions, and you take it to personal attacks such as I am blind and thick skulled, I just cant figure where you get off saying it wasnt that hard, like that makes it all ok....or that we should be thankful that Z actually tried to stop his head from slamming into the glass, because, well if Webber really Tried Z would be out...so yeah, man we should thank our lucky stars that Webber was such a gentleman and held back for all our sakes... You are by far the one reason why I can see why so many other teams fans hate our fans.... Really? you are the one being irrational, I doubt you have played the game with any type of intestinal fortitude let alone play the game at all. You are creating a fallacy with my argument saying that I am some how condoning the play. It wasn't a hard hit, zetterberg sold it, most importantly it was extremely goon like and unnecessary and I won't reiterate this stuff to you again, you obviously are just being belligerent and want to think weber was out to murder z. The guys helmet was broken. Is that hard enough for you? the earpiece was ripped, big deal 1 redwingfan19 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HockeyCrazy3033 168 Report post Posted April 12, 2012 (edited) LOL some of the responses are hysterical. How anyone can stick up for Weber and say he was just trying to intimidate is beyond me. You wanna intimidate, fight like a man. You don't go after someone AFTER the damn game ends and take their head and smash it against the boards. I don't care if Weber could have done much worse or that if he really wanted to he could have messed Z up. The intent was there. No one in their right mind just decides to do it unless wanting to cause injury. He deserves a suspension. At least two games.
