I had a response to my post over on The Hockey News when I was talking about this hit. This bitch actually compared Richards hit to Kaleta opening the bench door




First off.......Kaleta was on the bench and second.....Zherdev fell on his padded can.

I'm sorry Hockeyheaven but you obviously forgot when Kaleta opened the bench door during Game 5 when he was checking Zhedev into the boards causing Zherdev to fall into the Sabres bench which could have injured HIM. Must be an oversight on your part.

Just a whining Sabres fan who'se mad that his team didn't have the skill or fortituded to finish off a team Sunday after blowing a 3 goal lead for the second game in row.

Hocky players all weekend have been saying that Connolly was at least partly responsible for his injury. The fact that he has a history of concussions is sad and I am sorry he's hurt but c'mon man, he is playing a violent sport and these thing happen

I don't remember saying anything about the Sabres being boy scouts. My point is simply that most people, when they think of the Flyers, they think dirty hockey. This isn't an accident. I also didn't single out the Connolly hit, I gave many examples and only stopped because I figured people got the point. This is one series and the list of cheap, dirty play on the part of Philly is impressively long. The question is why does everyone think of Philly as a dirty team and why do all the fans think otherwise?

Example: Whenever Kaleta has hit someone and left his feet or charged someone you will see the Sabre's forum flooded with fans saying they like him but can't respect that kind of play. On the Flyer's forum you see nothing but "Yeah!! Hope he's hurt!!"

I love hard hits and gritty play but there's a line. Again, my point wasn't to single out one hit. My point was to bring up how odd it is that a well earned reputation for being dirty seems to baffle Flyer fans but no one else. Also, if you get out of your bubble you'll realize that fans throughout the league see Philly fans as being tactless and goon like.

If I had decided to jerk off instead, I probably wouldn't be paying child support...

by the way, about 80% of captains wouldn't answer questions in Richard's situation. it is a sign of nothing.

Yeah I'm gonna agree with this but up the ante to 90%

WWSYD?

I'd say how is that not a teeshirt in Detroit yet, but lol

it fucking should be.

it probably is for all i know, ill go look on downwithdetroit.com

I would be surprised if it's not. When I played a ton of street hockey back in Rochester, one of the kids i played with was a HUGE SY fan, couldn't finish a damn sentence w/o SY's name involved somehow..
