I'd say "sucker punches, gratuitous head shots and reckless hits from behind" would be exactly how I'd characterize Emery's assault on Holtby.

Sue me.
i guess two posts of me saying i didn't like emery's assault wasn't enough to get the point across?
The thoughts seemed hugely divergent.
how's that now? i said i enjoyed the fights between consenting participants but didn't approve of the assault on holtby. explain the issue there.

You said you enjoyed the fights, except the Holtby had to fight as an unwilling participant. "everything else? i'd be sad if it left the game. there weren't any sucker punches or gratuitous head shots or reckless hits from behind," which was exactly what the Emery attack was.

Perhaps you intended to say "i love goalie fights. the only issue i had with it was that holtby was an unwilling participant, and that Emery threw sucker punches, gratuitous head shots and reckless hits from behind. everything else? i'd be sad if it left the game. it was just a bunch of fights. big whoop. between this and the sterility of the other big 3 sports, it's this by a landslide"? It's at least a more consistent statement.

I can see why the Flyers PP is ranked 29th. Just horrible.

1. Poor defense outside of 1 or 2 guys

I didn't realize the Flyers signed Gill. That must be why they beat NJ 1 zip. :pop:

Like they said before the game, he hasn't lost a step, because he never had one.

They looked pretty good ever since I posted that. First career goals galore.

The offensive futility in the Canes Flyers game is a wonder to behold.

Looks like the Caps will be in second place soon. They have been playing quite well lately.

I really, really like watching hockey, but the Flyer\Cane game is rather hard to watch. Two offenses that haven't figured it out yet, even with the greatest player in the world on one of them.

Looks like both teams are waiting for the shoot out to score.
