A win is a win and they needed that one. This ones over, get ready for Sat and take the series lead. They say you're never in trouble until you lose one at home. Well, the Ducks just lost one at home.
They were debating on the TSN Panel if it should have even been a penalty. I agree that it should have, but that's enough. Lots of people say borderline penalty, so definitely no fine/suspension
It was a borderline penalty, but it was still a dangerous play.
If he had of just kept skating, he would have slammed right into him, he jumped to try and avoid contact.
I don't agree. If he kept skating, he would have made contact with Howard's stick, which is much better than kicking him in the head. I'm not calling for a suspension, or even a fine, I just think it was a douchebag move and was avoidable.
Seeing the video again, we should probably just be happy that they didn't call Howie for embellishment.
I thought the contact was pretty incidental last night. I have changed my mind since I have seen how far he dragged his leg out. Why even lift your leg? Just keep skating. F*** Perry!
No matter how you put it, Perry kicked Howard in the face. Do I think he did it on purpose? No, but he didn't try to avoid it either. That could have been A LOT worse. Watch his skate drag across his shoulder and then catch him in the mask. Howard could have been severely hurt on that play.
It's the same situation when they call the big goalie interference penalties/suspensions, he may not have done it on purpose and had some defense in his way, but the onus is on the player to avoid the contact. The goalie is helpless.
I don't think a suspension is coming or warranted.
DO IT! You were willing to go to jail to throw an octopus, I think you can suffer through a damn beard lol.
LOL! Have you ever grown a beard? I'd almost prefer jail. Okay okay, I'll do it. Here's to hoping I reach this growth again. The best part of this picture is it was taken at the Joe!
i didn't anticipate nashville starting their backup. that was really nice of trotz to let the wings make the playoffs.
They always come out of the woodwork when things are going right, just to try and knock us down. C'mon Wings, take this garbage out! Conks...where art thou?
Unfortunately it wasn't me. I didn't even see the pi after the third goal, I was too busy going ape s***. There was one at the beginning of the game too.
I think IF the worst case scenario happens and I got booked on it, I think I could beat the charge due to the precedence and acceptableness of hat trick hats. In a court of law it would be hard to explain why that is acceptable and the octopus is not.
I also think it's completely hypocritical of the NHL to say we can't do this yet they continue to use footage of Al swinging the octopi in their 'Because it's the Cup' commercials.
