GMRwings1983 8,794 Report post Posted March 11, 2016 Abby really didn't look like he wanted to go, whether it would have been a good time to(which it wasn't) or not. He looked pretty nervous at the idea of going up against Thorburn. I don't blame him. Did you see that dude's beard? 1 chaps80 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wheelchairsuperhero 1,453 Report post Posted March 11, 2016 It was a clean hit. The game was on the line. Not fighting was the right call. Agree with this. The hit wasn't dirty and it was a one goal game late. Don't risk anything and instead hope they call something on Winnipeg for being stupid. 3 marcaractac, TheXym and roboturner reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vladdy16 2,154 Report post Posted March 11, 2016 Dont like us backing down after hits. Thats bush league by abdelkader. If he doesnt answer the bell, larkin will get run. No bueno. Since when do you need to answer the bell for a good hit? This really frustrates the hell out of me. Maybe you open yourself up to get a good hard check, but fighting? That's what's bush league. 3 TheXym, marcaractac and roboturner reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe you open yourself up to get a good hard check, but fighting? That's what's bush league. I'm just acknowledging what's there. It may not be what's best for the game, but that's how it is right now. Other team knocks, you should answer. And abby is getting paid 4.5 mil a year to do what's necessary. Not many other teams would have skated away from that last night. Phil Kessel maybe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vladdy16 2,154 Report post Posted March 11, 2016 I call bulls***. Just because someone is ringing your bell doesn't mean you have to open the door. You're talking neanderthal hockey. "Hey, you're ugly, I'm gonna beat your ass." We all know Abby's not afraid to drop the gloves. That's not what he's paid 4.5 mil for. He's paid to play a smart game, and he did. 5 TheXym, NerveDamage, BottleOfSmoke and 2 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
joesuffP 1,746 Report post Posted March 11, 2016 That guy was scary looking... Forgot his name. I don't think a half ass hockey fight is going to stop a team like Winnepeg from taking runs at us. Maybe if we had a guy like Buff or Burns teams would be reluctant but not a 30 second wresting match.. I mean hockey fight Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And that's why Abby chickened out. Not because he was some kind of cerebral player. He didnt want to get punched. 1 chaps80 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
