good non suspension on turris
You're trying to imply that I'm being hypocritical when in fact it's because of the terrible penalties and suspensions handed to Bruins players this season that I figured Turris would be suspended. I don't think it's unreasonable to expect the same terrible calls across the board. If that had been Corvo launching himself elbow-first into the head of a turned Senator along the boards, I guarantee multiple people would be in this thread telling me how dirty my favorite team is. Not a huge issue though, the main reason why I like the Bruins is precisely because they take these matters personally instead of waiting around for the league to (not) do something about it. We'll see the Senators in Boston on Tuesday.A Bruins fan calling for blood? I never thought I'd see the day.
And then after more of your players get penalties and suspensions for going after the Sens, you'll cry about poor officiating.
I heard the Oilers are offering Khabibulin! Also might want to fire your coach.someone save the maple laughs. we're supposed to be good near the end of the season wtf.....
They had them during the Sabres/Rangers game at MSG last night too. It's the future of advertising, unfortunately.On a completely unrelated-to-everything sidenote, what the hell is up with these ads behind the net in Dallas? I hope this doesn't catch on.
When I first watched the video in the link you posted, I figured it would be a fine at the very least (not a suspension, Turris has no previous history). But after I saw BlueCookies's post, I went back and watched it again and I agree that it's a good non-call. Turris didn't approach "from a ridiculous distance" (it used to be charging, but really isn't anymore), he skated about 20 feet and went for a shoulder to shoulder hit. Unfortunately for Corvo, he had just swung the puck up ice and his body naturally turned inward immediately before impact, opening up his head to the hit. Turris DID NOT use his elbow, he hit with his shoulder. There was no malicious intent, no targeting of the head. He didn't leave his feet until AFTER delivering the hit, and only did because his momentum carried him upward. You can't say "Turris should've done X," because that would only lead to "Turris shouldn't have hit Corvo at all," which is a ludicrous proposition. It was a hockey play gone wrong, and luckily Corvo seems okay.You're trying to imply that I'm being hypocritical when in fact it's because of the terrible penalties and suspensions handed to Bruins players this season that I figured Turris would be suspended.

2013 2nd rounder + Habs conditionalRadulov might be back in the NHL next year. Rumored to be the piece sent to MTL for Kostitsyn.
