Hitting The Links: Straight-Up Trolling Edition

by sarahconnors on Nov 15, 2011 9:53 AM EST

Apparently everyone has an opinion on the Lucic hit on Miller, from the Montreal Gazette's Dave Stubbs (might I add: the Canadiens have now run two goalies in the course of a week, with Brian Gionta breaking James Reimer last week and Erik Cole running Jhonas Enroth last night) to the Vancouver Canucks (yeah, okay, guys, you just TRY running Tim Thomas again, let's see if he can bruise Henrik Sedin's butt a little more).

And apparently goalie hits are going to be brought up at the GM meetings now, too. WHATEVER.

After the jump, some links and nonsense. Have at thee.

Am I missing something?

Actually their assistant coach has some interesting thoughts

Only quotes I see from the coach are about their light schedule right now and something about Aaron Rome’s recent offense…

I saw Sedin’s, Higgins’, and Luongo’s thoughts, but nothing from coaching staff, you are not alone.

Also, I have trouble hating Luongo, he stayed relatively neutral in that statement… I still pity him.

Kick his ass, Seabass!

I thought we should revisit this,

since it’s bound to happen on 11/23, should a Buffalo player have the manparts to make an attempt.

On the one hand, I want to throw the last season behind me and just focus on this year.

But on the other, god how I love seeing the banner get raised and the Cup get lifted over and over. I will never tire of that.

sabresdotcom: Ryan Miller is still experiencing whiplash and concussion-like symptoms; although his neck feels better. No timetable for his return.

welp.

I was just being a smart ass because in one of the articles linked it stated that Erik Cole was a defenseman for the Habs now. Wasnt sure what the “there’s one in every crowd” comment was for

I am getting debated over in PPP on the Miller hit.

In the rule book it states that if a goalie leaves the crease or the blue paint he is no longer protected and a player can check him. Maybe Lucic was a tiny bit excessive and maybe charging could be called and thats what they are arguing with me but I say that Miller is a big fat wuss and if he didnt want to be hit .. he should have stayed in the Crease. You leave the crease to play the puck and the other player is also allowed to play the puck and a check is going to happen. (Deeerrrrrrrr)

The People over at PPP majority of the time are for safety to a fault and most feel that a concussion warrents a suspension by Shanaban but I dont agree.

Your thoughts ?

61.2 Penalty – In all cases in which an attacking player initiates intentional or deliberate contact with a goalkeeper, whether or not the goalkeeper is inside or outside the goal crease, and whether or not a goal is scored, the attacking player will receive a penalty (minor or major, as the Referee deems appropriate). In all cases where the infraction being imposed is to the attacking player for hindering the goalkeeper’s ability to move freely in his goal crease, the penalty to be assessed is for goalkeeper interference.

Lucic got his charging penalty, the end. What are you trying to argue?

You can defend Looch until you are blue in the face, but you certainly won’t win the debate. I can see people being pissed there was no suspension but trying to defend against the amazingly, beautiful hate they have for the way the Bruins play is futile!

Same old, same old...

It is, really, the same old “Bruins-are-thugs” argument that’s been going around since the Dallas game several years back. And Lucic, being big, punishing, and talented, is target #1. And now that they’ve won the Cup playing that way, it’s become a bigger witch hunt because it’s obvious the style of play works and could lead to long-term success for the B’s. Too damn bad. They should shut up and kiss the ring.

Since the Dallas game? Son, the Bruins have been thugs since Eddie Shore damn near killed Ace Bailey and started the all-star game.

And probably before.

And during the 70s someone said the Flyers and Bruins put hockey back 20 years.

My thoughts on the situation:

Pedestrians are not fair game once they venture outside of the crosswalk, however, that doesn’t mean they don’t have to look both ways.

Miller may not be fair game out at the circles, but he shouldn’t expect that nobody will ever hit him. Looch got his charging minor, and that’s all that it warranted, IMO.

Kick his ass, Seabass!
