Rangers & Devils Bloody Brawl Starts Game

[EmpireWF]

Still dont get why fights are "needed" in hockey when every other non-fighting sport handles issues with suspensions & fines.

Because the NHL believes they're good for business despite the harmful effects it has on guys' longterm health.

 

[ZoneBlitz]

BRB gonna get serious about preventing concussions but still allow fighting.

Suspensions and fines are working real well for the NFL doe.

:cano:



Oh gee look, non hockey fans don't get it. I r shockded.



Waits for "WHOMG CONCUSSIONS!" Without bothering to talk about how the very large majority of concussions aren't related to fighting.


edit* the moron beat me to it.

 

[wr50l]

I was referring to the fight KG posted in rebuttle of you saying it pumped anything up. Ever.

Dumbass.

Why'd you quote me then? Oh dear, when FT's quote the tits out of everything strategy goes wrong! I was clearly talking about the Rangers game and if you knew who Patrick Elias is you'd have known that.

Fud.

Now just who the fuck is Paul Stastny? Does he play for the Obs?

 

I was gonna put the pic of the Chimp in the Habs jersey in this spoiler, but my image search for chimp montreal canadiens returned just pics of Laraque....not joking.

 

[wr50l]

BAN FIGHTING, MY KNOWLEDGE CONFIRMS IT IS POINTLESS!!1





I don't know who Georges Laraque is.

 

[killgod]

He's some low key actor that does budget ISP commercials in canada.

Apparently.

zomg. Not just about concussions to begin with and I don't recall any poster here ever saying getting rid of fighting would get rid of all brain trauma or concussions in the sport.

So you don't have a leg to stand on here.

Why'd you quote me then? .

Because you were dumb enough to bring up "pumped" up goals right after KG's post showing a goal being scored by the Leafs(wtf?) while the goalie was falling down.

Perhaps Toronto was so amped up they made the ice shakey.

What you wanna do when there's a rise in knee/leg injuries after fighting is banned?

So you reduce concussions by 0.00001%

Increase leg injuries from dirty play that cannot be controlled on the ice by 10000%


SOUNDS LIKE A PLAN. FT FOR COMMISH.

Oooooooooooo burns himself again.

First fight was the Ottawa Senator Gonchar. Grabovski's fight was way after that freak goal.

NFL section is the other way pal.

 

[EmpireWF]

The NHL also doesn't want goons to fall the way of the dinosaur.

Gotta keep the violence in the game. Violence = ratings, more money, exposure. Fuck any health issues.

Increase penalties and fines etc for dirty plays thatlead to knee/leg injuries.


LOL at hockey fans still being stupid about this.

I'm told 3 months ago that hockey fights are "respectful". So the sport is "respectful" enough to have goons punch eachother in the head but the morons that play it aren't respectful enough to take cheap shots at players knees?

:yao:

Hockey players have to be the dumbest athletes on the face of the Earth.

James Harrison.

James Harrison.

Already named his shit head as exceptions to the rule.

But yeah, let's legislate to THOSE morons!

Oh so NFL players like Harrison are the exception to the rule, but hockey players as a whole are very respectful are also not allowed to have exceptions to the rule? They're just the dumbest fucking athletes on earth despite this being the same?


I love FT logic.

Guess what else happened after the fight?

delivering an impassioned address to teammates in the second intermission – moments after the Grabovski tilt – making certain that motivation was drawn from the scrap. "That's what was said and I think it's the truth," he said. Up 2-0 after 40 minutes, the Leafs closed off the Senators in the third, evening up the season series with their provincial rivals in the final matchup this season.

And I didn't "burn" myself. I never referenced who was in what fight. I simply said the idea of fighting leading to goals is dumb.

Since the first goal was a lulztastic fuck up....and then after the fight Ottawa actually played even with Toronto.

Final Score: 3-1.

So the fight "inspired" the Leafs to play worse in terms of goal differential than they had prior to it?

:yao:

Umm no.

You still suck at this shit.

You can't sit here and tell me hockey players(as a whole...since they apparently are all ok with fighting and "understand it") are "respectful" enough to understand when to stop punching someone in the head..yet can't grasp the simple concept of being respectful enough to not go at players knees.

If they can't make that pretty simple distinction/draw that line..then yes, they are the dumbest fucking athletes on the planet.
