No way Pommers plays in the rest of this series at least. Nasty cut.

I dont understand how the dudes blade was even able to get down there, was the back of pommers skate open or something? How come it wasnt covering his ankle/lower leg?

Jesus....how can all the hockey talking heads be praising the Cryers and basically saying we're shit? They all say that they will come back just like they did last year against Boston and that we suck because our highest scorer is a rookie D man (Grags). I mean Bob Mckenzie all but got the balls in his mouth along with their cock in his pist write.

National writers cater to the larger markets. This is not news. He's also hinging his entire argument based on two points:

1. The Flyers did it last year.
2. Pronger will come back for game 6.

Both of these arguments are shit.

1. This is a different Flyers team. They're missing one of their leading scorers. Just because it's happened once doesn't mean it's going to happen again.
2. Bob apparently has ignored the reports from the media in Philly that Pronger and Carter are done for the series.

Completely off topic, Tom, but I just noticed that your sig is sort of hypocritical now.

Just saying.

dont they have socks now that can withstand blades?

XH Series™ ACHILLES™ cut-resistant Kevlar® socks. Like a regular skate sock with the added protection of 60% Kevlar® to help prevent skate cuts. With today's skates being more rigid, including the back tendon guard, the vulnerable Achilles tendon and surrounding area is left unprotected. ACHILLES™ skate socks are a new product for the hockey market and will help to protect the back of the leg as well as the front part of the foot from potential skate blade lacerations.

ACHILLES™ cut-resistant skate socks are made with Kevlar® for cut protection and they are blended with COOLMAX® XtraLife fabric to help keep the feet cool and dry, while the LYCRA® fiber provides a superior fit. COOLMAX® is the #1 moisture wicking fabric available today. Compression bands hold the socks in place and promote circulation, while a mesh zone on top of the foot gives added ventilation combined with a seamless toe for comfort. Sock color is white, black and yellow with our ACHILLES™ and Hogan Hockey™ logos, plus the size stitched into every sock for easy pairing when laundering. Sock sizing is based on shoe size.

Kevlar-interwoven skate socks and hockey socks should be mandatory. No contest.
