Wow, it looks like he hyperextended his knee/leg there. What a bizarre way to get injured.columbia wrote:

Sigh. Seabrook looking at another concussion possibly. His fourth. What is Bourque doing here?
At least two of Seabrook's concussion have been on dirty hits, the other one being the Wisniewski hit, which was one of the dirtiest plays I've ever seen.

So sad. Good to know that lack of respect is not the problem, though.

When was there ever respect? When Messier's elbows were flying around? When the Bruins were fighting fans in the stands? When Bobby Clarke was fracturing Kharlamov's ankle?Gaucho wrote:So sad. Good to know that lack of respect is not the problem, though.

Re: Non-Pens NHL Games Thread
A player who is a dangerous distance from the boards who has not touched the puck is drilled by a defenseman charging from the blue line and leaping with arms/elbows into his head? I don't believe that.Physical_Graffiti wrote:That hit happens 10 times a game (and twice on Sundays) in high school hockey.Kraftster wrote: Sigh. Seabrook looking at another concussion possibly.

High hits to players not involved in the play (and thus unsuspecting) that come after a 60' charge -- I can't imagine much that is more dangerous than that.

Re: Non-Pens NHL Games Thread
That hit was absolutely disgusting. Seabrook didn't have the puck, Wisniewski charged in from the blue line and gave him a flying elbow to the head that rammed his head back off the glass. That doesn't happen every game in any level of hockey.Kraftster wrote:A player who is a dangerous distance from the boards who has not touched the puck is drilled by a defenseman charging from the blue line and leaping with arms/elbows into his head?

My favorite part was when the Duck announcers started accusing Seabrook of selling the hit to get a call. Idiots.

Wisniewski was trying to get even for the hit Seabrook laid on Perry, no?

Yeah, he was. The first time I ever watched that clip I thought the first hit was the hit on Seabrook.canaan wrote:Wisniewski was trying to get even for the hit Seabrook laid on Perry, no?

http://www.downgoesbrown.com/2011/12/le ... -this.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;The trade: The Canucks acquire David Booth, Steven Reinprecht and a draft pick from the Panthers for Mikael Samuelsson and Marco Sturm.
The view from Vancouver: When it comes to the playoffs, ex-Panther Booth doesn't know the meaning of the word "lose", although the same could technically be said for the words "win" and "playoffs".
The view from Florida: Both of the players they acquired are old and overpaid and will be unrestricted free agents next year, so they can pretty much buy houses in Florida any time now.
Final verdict: As per tradition, this blockbuster trade between the Canucks and Panthers did not involve any clutch goaltenders.
The trade: The Canadiens trade Jaroslav Spacek to the Hurricanes for Tomas Kaberle.
The view from Carolina: Spacek fills a critical need for the Hurricanes blueline, in the sense that he is a hockey player who is not Tomas Kaberle.
The view from Montreal: You have to give the Canadiens credit for being much more responsive than the Maple Leafs when you complain about the head coach, according to Kaberle's dad.
Final verdict: When it was pointed out that Kaberle has an additional two years left on his high-priced contract, Pierre Gauthier told reporters "Yes, I'll definitely have to deal with that when I'm general manager here during the 2013-14 season" before laughing sarcastically and then going back to updating his resume.

Sucks for Florida. 25 seconds left down by 1 and Weiss' penalty shot stops dead on the goal line. That's harsh.

Re: Non-Pens NHL Games Thread
For as much crap as roenick gets, that was one of the better discussions of the issue.
To be hopeful for a moment, perhaps the Pens are taking the extreme caution position in a way that will actually ensure Crosby's LT future in the league? They weren't specifically discussing that, but it's historically obvious that players have had numerous concussions and kept on playing throughout a lengthy career. My hope is that the Pens are on the forefront of dealing with it early in the cycle - relatively - and that his future is there. That might be naive; if so, so be it.

Giroux looks OK. Must have been a "mild" concussion.

Re: Non-Pens NHL Games Thread
Ryder for Dallas just had a great hit on Voracek. Very similar to the Engelland situation last night, although Ryder stayed on his feet and gave him a shoulder to shoulder blow.
