    Bertuzzi's Standing Ovation

    in The Lounge

    Posted

    I'm not going to back my comments up with fancy stats or anything. In my opinion, hockey players put 'bounties' on peoples heads all the time.

    A clean check on a star player results in that stars team taking the number of the resulting player. Thats just one example, there are others I'm too lazy to go into them right now.

    I'm in the 'action should dictate the penalty not the result' boat.

    It was a poor choice Bertuzzi made, I beleive the resulting pile up caused the injury to Moore not the inital punch. Bertuzzi has suffered his penalty, now we should move on. The fact he's invited to Canada's camp makes sense. He's one of the best players we have, I for one would be mad if he wasn't included.

    Now, I know this is gonna sound harsh, but this all could have been avoided if Moore had of taken on Bertuzzi like a man. The game was out of hand, or for that matter why would the Avs put Moore on the ice at the end of the game?

    Emotion is a strong thing, players play with emotion. In fact we love players that do, we even praise them for that ability. Yet, we sit back and judge players like Bertuzzi who have a history of playing on the edge. We can't have it both ways, either we want players with no emotion that are in control all the time or we have players like Bertuzzi. I for one would vote for Bertuzzi.

    Well those are my thoughts, bring on the haters :P

    So, how do we rate the 2005-06 Habs?

    Wow...so this is my first post, been reading the threads for a couple of weeks, and I thought I'd weigh in.

    I predict a #1 in the league finish. I say this because we really don't know how ANY TEAM is gonna fair in this new landscape we call the NHL. Also, I'm hopefully optimistic when it comes to my habs.

    All I know is the leafs and habs play 8 times...everyone of those games will be the game 7 Stanley Cup finals for my roomate(she's a diehard leafs fan...booo!) and myself.

    Only way I'll be disappointed this year is if the habs don't make the playoffs, which I wont think will happen. I know people are gonna say, "Oh be reasonable, there's no way the habs can win first place", that could be true but ignorance is bliss.

    Well I welcome responses, I'm a big boy I can take it ;)
