Did this guy play a hockey player in some movie? Are the Islanders now making Warner Brothers an affiliate? Perhaps this is a new angle for the Isles.Get some more guys that just "act" as hockey players.
You cant be serious. Recchi has been around long enough to know how to divert the attention off of a teammate. He has done a hell of a job here. He has always been a "team first" player and showed it with these comments.
I believe you are referring to me,as I said that he should have been banned.
I am by no means up on a high horse.If Pronger deserved a ban for repeat offences ,then give it to him.Pronger,however does not have a "history" of going after players.
How many chances do these idiots get by the league?
If the league took stiffer actions against players,the 1st time they were caught,we might end up with less repeat offenders.
I personally feel that any player who has been suspended 3 times or more,should get no less than 20 games.( I know damn well that this seems harsh,but I guarantee this would send the right message).
What's frustrating about these 2 guys (Carcillo and Cooke) is that if they played the way they're capable of ,without their bs antics,they're both useful contributors at times.
They both remind me of Tie Domi.The little guy was a tough s.o.b but when he put his mind to it,he was capable of getting himself on one of the top 2 lines.I also don't think that Domi was given enough credit for his skating .
The real question is-Where were you? Yes,Lindros and Thornton both played a physical game.
"Hitting guys in the back with elbows up" You may be able to find a seldom few clips to back this up,but imo this is just your opinion. You are rightfully entitled to it,but imo,in no way is it true.
Once again,other than your opinion,find me 1 poll,blog or thread that mentions either 1 of these guys as a "dirty" player.
Are you kidding?He used to be one of the dirtiest cheap-shot back stabbing bar-stools in the League-along with Lindros.
You have got to be **** kidding?Have you got a personal vendetta against these 2 guys. I have read a lot of stupid comments over the years on this site,but I gotta say,this comment puts you near the top of the class.
I'll let you wiki any knowledgeable hockey site,and try to back up that statement.Hell,I want you to find 1 site that says either Joe Thornton or Lindros were dirty cheap shot blah blah blah.
I'll let you go so far,as to fm a Puckhead on this site to back up this garbage statement.
Well,everyone is entitled to their opinion. Now even though I,m a Flyer's fan,I try to take in as many games as possible.I,m wondering if you do the same? How in the hell can you not have Colby Armstrong on your list?Next time you get a chance,watch a Ducks game and key in on Corey Perry,and let me know if you'd annoint him a sainthood.
Hell,I'll concede that Pronger gets away with a crapload of crosschecks,but Carcillo (and no way in hell)Hartnell are in the top 10 in league for dirtiest players.
Hmmmmm,whose coattails can I ride on?
Wayne Newton is Vegas,just ask any drunken retiree.
And forget about their recent slide.They will go to the next level come playoffs.
Does he even know he's in Florida?

If Pronger delivered a hit ,that the league deemed worthy of a ban,then so be it.
No one in the league is bigger than the game,and the NHL seems to move on with the lost or absentism of its' biggest stars at times.

A lot of people on this site know that I do not defend a player ,regardless of who he plays for when they deliberately play to take someone out.
I never backed up Downie with the Flyers,Riley Cote and I,m not a huge fan of Carcillo at times.
In retrospect,I,m sure Savard,Ovie,LeCavalier or Markov wish that they were only bit.
The guy'a a 5 time offender.Why not let LeCavalier,Savard or Markov have a say in his fate.
He should have been banned for good.
No matter what the guy with his head in the sand says, Lindros and Thornton were/are not dirty,cheap back-stabbers.
Both of them are/were physical players who have had their moments,as all players do.
For a certain poster to classify these 2 guys as such only shows his lack of hockey knowledge
Yes,Lindros and Thornton both played a physical game.
