Around SBN: Roy Nelson Willing to Pay for His Next Opponent's Drug Test

Hitting The Links: Cross-Canada Edition

RAAAGE!

Wanted to give a bit more play to Dougie's article, so late links today.

Yay, the Bruins are playing four Canadian teams in a row over the course of one week! Tonight Tomorrow, they take on the Atlantapeg Thrasherjets Winnipeg Jets. The last time these two teams met, it ended in a loss for Boston, as Ondrej Pavelec stood on his head and made like a bajillion saves. Hopefully this time the outcome will be different.

After the jump - Columbus finally fires their coach, NHL players are iffy about realignment, the Penguins are in trouble, and Bruce Boudreau is hilarious...

Ha!

Did anyone read this?
http://bleacherreport.com/tb/bd7BY

Keith Ballard is one of the best hip-checkers and has been called for clipping because the league obviously wants to avoid serious knee injuries. But in a puck-possession play against Jordin Tootoo on April 28, Ballard was assessed a two-minute minor for clipping. Whether that action and what Marchand did are in the same clipping category is what the league needs to better define.

Ballard, on his hip checking ‘ability’:

“Normally when I do that, the guy has the puck and the guy is coming down on me and trying to beat me, there is a difference and anybody who says there’s not a difference is an idiot.”

Oh yeah, make sure you read the sub-heading… I love how in Vancouver they assume we’re cheering the injury rather than the hit. Fucking tards.

Kick his ass, Seabass!

Wow. That KHL article is just crazy.

It’s terrible… I can’t believe things like this really happen nowadays. However, if the Bruins did this with Grahame a few years earlier, I may have been behind it all the way:

There are problems players face when teams decide they’re no longer needed.

"One guy I know, playing for the KHL team in Kazan, was arrested after the team had (marijuana) planted on him," says Simpson, who now lives in Chicago. "They took him to jail, wanted to sweat him out, pressure him to agree to go back to Canada without getting paid."

The same thing happened to John Grahame, a Canadian goalie who played during the 2008-09 season for the KHL team in Omsk, a city in Siberia.

"He was arrested by police for going to a dance club because the team didn’t want to keep paying him," Simpson said.

Kick his ass, Seabass!

I know about Ballard..

Does anyone remember this hit from Raymond? If this isn’t exactly what Marchand did I don’t know what is…this clip should be played every time Gillis opens his mouth..

I bet Mike O’Connell conspired with the KHL.

The whole Vigneault/Gillis/Ballard dog/pony show is/was ridiculous. Over the last 8 games between the two teams:

Harmless slashes to shins (Sat. Only) Bruins 1 Canucks 1
Sticks to the throat (Sat. Only) Canucks 1 Bruins 0
6 on 1 schoolyard jumpings (Sat. Only) Canucks 1 Bruins 0
Low Bridge hits Canucks 3 Bruins 1.5*
Hilariously jabbing star player unwilling to defend himself/his teammates Bruins 1 Canucks 0

*I only give Marchand .5 for his low bridge against Vancouver, he was about to get hit after the whistle.

How are we the dirty team again?

Are we talking about the SCF game, or Saturday? Saturday was as much of a low bridge as the 3 Vancouver plays. I don’t think Marchand’s playoff low bridge was as bad because if you’re going to run someone after the whistle, it’s your own fault if you get low-bridged (on the dirty scoreboard at least.).

by Michael Taylor on Jan 9, 2012 3:19 PM EST up reply actions  

It was the playoff one that got the half for the very reason you described.

To me the two are in no way comparable. One was a dirty play, the other was avoiding a dirty play.

by BobbyOrrsBastard on Jan 9, 2012 4:10 PM EST up reply actions  

Totally agree. I only even gave it a half because it was a low bridge. To be honest, avoiding a dirty play is fine by me overall, and as PM pointed out, I missed the biting and Raffi Torres.

by Michael Taylor on Jan 9, 2012 4:30 PM EST up reply actions  

Oooh! Don’t forget the biting. And Torres’ flying elbow attempt that luckily missed Johnny Rocket’s melon.

Kick his ass, Seabass!

How is there no link and/or fanshot/fanpost to Claude’s masterful response to Vigneault? Or have I just missed it? It was absolutely brilliant.
