Lindy Ruff, earning more respect from me...

Post by DrBoni »

http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/07055/764758-61.stm

Ruff urged the NHL to take action against players taking blows to the head, adding, "Let's be realistic here, if that's Sidney Crosby, this whole league's in an uproar.".


Yea, right.....

Give me 2 times this year he has taken a dirty head shot.

BTW, Ruff should tell his players not to skate to the middle of the slot with their heads down.

He had his head down, there was no elbow. Yeah it was a late hit, but skate through open ice with your head down, you get lit up. End of story.

are you saying he hasnt taken dirty head shots? cause if you are then the 19 pages of you wanting an enforcer on the team to protect Sid seem pretty pointless right? why have an enforcer if sid isnt being hit in any dirty way?

Everyone's opinion will change when it happens to Sid

Clean, but borderline, hits like these will get a different opinion depending on which team's colors you happen to be wearing.

So yeah, I am sure Pens fans would get their panties in a twist if Crosby or Malking gets hit. Nothing new about that.

He has taken a spear to the gut, a solid hit by Witt, and a butt end to the gut, but give me examples of him taking dirt shots to the head?

VS Florida in January, Olesz crosschecked him in the head as he skated out of the zone, knocked his helmet off. Olesz got 2 for highsticking, shoulda been a match. Then there's always this....

Yeah, but most around here would call that a coincidence. It had nothing to do with Cairns, right? :lol:

Hatcher last season and Zhitnik this season for starters...
Zhitnik gave hima dirt head shot. If your talking about the NBC game against Philly, looked like he was finishing his check on the PK against SID. The guy is going to get bumps.

I don't know why anyone would even entertain any of SportsFan's posts.

If you can't see his M.O. is nothing more than to stir the pot then sit back and laugh at honest people's attempts at rationale, you're not paying attention.

He has no interest in actual dialogue. Explanations are a waste of your time. I don't even think he's a Pens fan, much less a hockey fan.

He is the definition of a troll, only Tremendo was much more fun to play with.

Dangy, I said I wasn't going to get in fights on here anymore, but you have now posted this is 3-4 threads. If you disagree with me thats fine, but you call me out for doing the same thing you are doing.

Show me in this thread where I said something offensive.

So you never played with yourself?

BTW, why don't you add a bit of hockey talk, instead if trying to start a fight with me already.

Thanks

Actually the topic was head shots taken by Crosby and it seem the only cheap shots to the head people can bring up happened last year.
