I agree on the deKeyser part Hank...but Howard better be on his toes if you got this guy playing D...going to turn into some odd man rushes the other way when he's below the goal line in the offensive zone
7 mil is a joke...I wouldn't take this guy for 2 mil....he's a liability waiting to happen.... and we have enough of that now. This guy is ok when he plays def.... but 80% of the time he thinks he's a winger
What's a "hard hockey play" when you hit someone from behind?
A hard hockey play is a good clean check ... this was just dirty..cheap shot hockey.
Say what you want about him being clutch in the playoffs... I don't disagree... but he was a dirty player his whole career and he KNEW when he hit Draper from behind that injury was very likely to happen.....and he didn't care...that's intent....he'd already been suspended before for a sucker punch to Kozlov.
If anyone playing today made that hit you'd be yelling for his head Hank and you know it
so you're saying "things that were required" are running someone from behind with intent to injure...
Even the NHL when they suspended him said .. it was a premeditated cheap shot...yeah he does what's required alright...
Hard nasty hits are one thing....but that was just a plain cheap shot...you know it ...you just won't admit it. Everyone on the planet knows it if they've seen the video
Pretty much my first thought on this as well HC.... cap going down and he wants 10 Mil? See Ya....watch out for that door swinging shut when you leave....
He and McCarty with the hatchet buried has nothing to do with the hit does it?
Just because you like the guy ...that means he can't have intent?
He INTENTIONALLY ran a guy from behind...may not have wanted to rearrange his face but the intent was to injure... Then to say he didn't think he did anything wrong? There's no defense for that Hank and it pretty much says what kind of dirty, cheap shot player he was.
John Wharton, the athletic trainer, said Draper "has a fractured jaw and a possible orbital fracture, and a broken nose. He took 30-some sutures. The teeth will have to be re-placed because they are out of position. He also suffered a concussion.
now you tell me how you hit a man from behind that hard .....and to do that amount of damage..and there was no intent?
Biggest (starts with d ends with bag)ever to play....if he made that check today he'd be suspended for 30 games at least..if not more. It was intention to injure without a doubt. PLUS the guy is a (another name for kitty)....goes after guys like Slava Kozlov ...or Draper...but when the guys like Shanny and McCarty were around he ran for the bench...right up until DM got him...and he covered up like a little girl. No respect for this guy whatsoever... I'd rather have 5 Avery's instead of 1 of the turtle punk. TOTAL (3 letter reference to backside)
This guy is ok when he plays def.... but 80% of the time he thinks he's a winger
Do they keep extra paper towels on the bench to wipe up his tears?
There would have been nothing wrong with the ice in Boston if it wasn't for him crying all over it
what?? like Boston and Chicago don't have a crap load of fans???
someone give them a push

he is a futzhead as you put it...afterward he denied he even did anything wrong
