Madness in Other NHL Playoff Series

[Penspal]

I'm catching what I can of the other series, but each seems to have reached a level of lunacy not seen since the Pens vs. Flyers debacle.

- Garbagebutt breaks the leg of Robidas
- Cooke's Knee on Knee with Barrie
- Seabrook's hit on Backes
- Keith's repeated use of stick (no calls)
- Roussell vs Getzlaf gloves on with face protector in place

I'm sure there are countless other crazy happenings, but these I've caught live or on highlights. I'm glad the Pens series has not fallen to this level. Playoffs are battles of attrition.

That 1-0 OT winner for the Wild was memorable.

Round 1 always has a ton if dirty shenanigans going on.

In related news, I love round 1

Don't forget lucic and the castration attempt

[Penspal]

Yeah, how could I forget Lucic! What a tool.

A decent article that has details about a few of the stated incidents.

Pretty good video/gif of Lucic's ball tap going around. Was he fined? I remember Ryan Whitney doing that on Ovechkin and he was fined back in the day...or is it "playoff hockey?"

[mikey287]

I believe Lucic was fined...

Spoiler:

He paid in pennies.

Teemu announced as a healthy scratch ?

He could ball tap James Neal, and there's better potential that Neal would pay $10k for diving...

Dallas and LAK are the cleverest, funniest NHL orgs around these days; their Twitter pages are entertaining as hell at times.

That is completely ridiculous. A couple guys fighting okay (drunks), but then random guys starting getting 3-4 punches in on guys who are already down? The ushers were useless, didn't even seem to care (obviously it happens quite often?).

No freaking wonder though, apparently before EVERY game, the Flyers run video montages to former greats, where entire clips are fights rather than goals. Saw most of one on Schultz in the last CBC game showing Rangers vs. Flyers. Schultz was sucker punching people left and right. They joked that the goals shown were by Hextall, the freaking goalie!!!!

I hate everything about the Flyers... always have, always will. Clueless, Without Class, and disgrace to hockey fans everywhere..
