The Games I Watched - April 16

in 2009 Playoffs
Email
PrintObviously, as a Leafs fan, I have a healthy amount of animosity for the Montreal franchise. It doesn't help that they choose to employ a bunch of gutless pukes. I hate the Red Wings but at least their players aren't dirty SOBs. The saddest part is that their fans condone it. Look at the YouTube video of Kovalev throwing a vicious elbow at Darcy Tucker's head and the comments celebrate it.
They also embarrassingly twisted themselves into pretzels to defend Kostopoulos' hit on Van Ryn. But at the end of the day he's a piece of shit. He proved it again tonight as, with the game out of reach, he tried to throw an elbow exactly like the one Brendan Witt nail Hagman with earlier in the season. Thankfully, Matt Hunwick was able to get his head back in time. If you missed it, TSN highlighted it so it's probably on their website.
Update
Play-by-play courtesy of The General:
0:21 seconds, Lapierre shoves Kessel after an empty net goal. That’s really poor spotsmanship and should be an automatic suspension, I think.
0:28 seconds, check out the nasty spear attempt by Schneider on #91 Savard. Any attempt at spearing is an automatic game misconduct, but this went uncalled.
2:59 That bastard Kostopoulos tries to throw a knock-out elbow on a Bruins defender and just misses. Hard to see from this angle, but watch as he comes in from the left with one second left on the game clock. Just terrible.
3:18-3:30 Komisarek intentionally scrapes Hunwick’s eyes with his gloves. Dirty, vicious, cowardly, soulless, bunch of stinking pukes.
To top it off, the man that Kim Jorn and I probably hate the most on that team, the King of Running from Fights Mike Komisarek, proceeded to gouge the living hell out of Hunwick's eye:
The rough stuff continued after the final buzzer as both teams exchanged pleasantries and face washes. During the pile up, a glove wielding Mike Komisarek started throwing some short punches to the face of Matt Hunwick while Hunwick was being held back by the linemen.
- Stanley Cup of Chowder (emphasis mine)
Someone should slap the smug look off of that chucklhead's face. Again of course.
But what are the odds of Komisarek actually fighting a second time? It would be great to see Kostopoulos suspended for his attempt to injure, because let's be realistic but that's what he was trying to do, but considering Carcillo only got one game for his cheapshot I won't hold my breath. Needless to say, the comparison to the Carcillo event involves a completely different player in Robert's eyes!
Speaking of dirty plays off of a face-off, the only part of the Blackhawks-Flames game I managed to see was Mike Cammalleri punching Havlat in a carbon copy of Carcillo's play with a little less butt-end. It'll be interesting to see if the Wheel of Justice lands on a suspension. Bob McKenzie noted that it likely would have to be because of the timing but that he had seen many worse headshots go unpunished during the regular season. TFB. Havlat had the last laugh after he potted the tying goal and then the overtime winner. I did not laugh because overtime lasted 11 seconds and I missed it. SamFels has a big thank you to a special player for making last night so memorable:
12 seconds? Never has 12 seconds ever been so satisfying. A big thanks to Jordan Leopold, who turned over the puck to start, then decided to make it better by pushing Ladd right into Kipper has Marty buried the winner.
As for the West Coast game, let's put it this way: the Sharks got booed off of the ice. Jonas Hiller was in stunning form and with guys like Pronger, Beauchemin, and Niedermayer patrolling the blue line chances were at a premium. Watching the way that the Ducks shackled the Sharks' powerful offence I think that San Jose is in a lot of trouble in this first round. Mr. Plank is preaching calm but if the Sharks drop game two then it is definitely time to panic. Of course, the worst part about this series isn't the starting time but the announcers that CBC selected. Marc "Squeaks" Crawford is doing the announcing and, I didn't watch the entire game, presumably suggesting that each team bench their best players during crucial moments.
So which games did you guys watch? What were your thoughts? Who wants to put the explosives in Kostopoulos' car?

WTF
From Habs Eyes on the prize:
Removing my coach’s hat now, and donning one of a fan, I was completely disgusted with how the Bruins ended the game.
Call it classless in the great Bruins tradition.
After Kessel put the game away with an empty netter, the gutless puke of a floater taunted Maxim Lapierre, who was skating by, with what was an obvious invitational verbal shot and a defending stick raised to Lapierre’s face.
Most players, after scoring their easiest goal ever, rarely gloat, and simply skate back to their team mates in celebration. Kessel, upon gesturing at Lapierre had it coming. He was in the midst of nothing more than a gentle facewash of Kessel’s rat faced mug, when Milan Lucic – ever the yellow coward – hit Lapierre with an unsuspecting flying elbow to the head.
Did I call the Bruins classless? The own the word!
Bruins players can never stand up for themselves. They always need to gang up to win. Like Chara on Komisarek last week. Like Lucic on Komisarek, same night. Like Lucic on Lapierre last night.
The Bruins simply cannot fend for themselves. They always require backup.
That’s why during the course of this game, they didn’t get stupid as they usually do, when it was on the line.
They waited till it was over, like the gutless pukes they are.
Yes, they’ll rant that it was instigated by Montreal, yet the Habs never require a third man in to help someone fight their battles.
And did you laugh when Marc Savard, in the aftermath, looked around and picked Koivu as his dance partner. Typical!
Lucic’s actions might be up for suspension by the NHL. If Daniel Carcillo’s butt end in Game 1 of the Flyers / Penguins series is worth a game, Lucic’s deed should come under the same scrutiny.
I hope he isn’t suspended.
Lucic is stupid, over rated, irrational, and a liability. Keep him in there.
He’s bound to mess up at the best possible time for Montreal.
that right there...
is why i didn’t sign up for the Habs blog on SBN, and why I never even bother to scope it out.
How can a hockey fan see that kind of behavior and CREATE issues that weren’t there. Kessel didn’t say anything or gesture to Lapierre.
Seriously, dear habs fans who are out there lurking about. if you are this blindly idiotic of your team, i pity you.

Even if he did say something
EVERYONE says something during the game. People chirp their whole shift, every shift. That gives you the right to crosscheck them into the boards?
God I hate the habs and their fans.
The funny thing is that when there are no games Robert sees it about as clear as anyone I know but toss in that adrenaline and it gets way off base.

Hrudey, McLean, and Milbury
Were embarrassing last nite. They tried to justify the Habs cheapshot fest at the whistle by saying they objected to the one-timer on the empty net goal. WTF? Slapshots are hotdogging now? There was a guy right on him, it’s the only way he could have scored. And it’s the playoffs FFS, you need every goal you can get.
Also, Cammy punching Havlat off a draw was ‘just playoff hockey.’ Really? So we can expect guys to be coldcocking unsuspecting forwards, gloves on, every draw now?
At least Milbury pointed out Komisarek’s habit of picking on non-fighters and suggested he’d have to deal with someone a bit more formidable than Matt Hunwick next game. But then Hrudey asserted that bullying non-fighters was again, just good playoff hockey. Tough talk from a goalie. You know you’re in trouble when PJ Stock is the freaking voice of reason.
The worst part was that Cammy scored on that shift!
Hotdogging was what Clutterbuck did when he scored the empty netter against Nashville to end the season. Kessel was putting the puck in the net before the Habs’ defender got to him and considering how the Habs were acting before the goal I wouldn’t blame him if he chirped Lapierre.

The saddest part is that their fans condone it.
To be fair, there are fans of all teams that condone this garbage when it’s their own team (Bertuzzi, Domi, etc.). Some of us Habs fans really are disgusted with the dirty play this season.
I've been looking at the sky
Oh definitely
But I’d wager that you’d have found many more Leaf fans calling Domi a moron for his elbow to Niedermayer than Habs fans calling Kostopoulos a moron for his attempt to knock Hunwick out of the playoffs.
Pension Plan Puppets: A Toronto Maple Leafs blog and a group therapy session.
There is obviously no guarantee that we would have won that series, but Domi certainly didn’t help. I couldn’t cheer for him again after that.
The saddest part is that I remember that being his best complete game as a Maple Leaf until he dropped the elbow and spoiled it.
by general borschevsky on Apr 17, 2009 12:53 PM EDT up reply actions
of course...
the difference being, Domi did take out Niedermayer and he was suspended for it.
Kop-out-a-lot couldn’t take out Hunwick, and he won’t miss a game for blatantly trying to knock someone out. he’s not a Leaf after all…

One of the biggest problems with the disciplinary system is that it punishes outcomes and not actions. If Plekanec swung a two-hander at Chara’s head and the stick predictably shattered he likely would just get two minutes for slashing.

in all honesty
some stuff is heat of the moment, and I can see why the league doesn’t want to start to try and penalize intent.
it’s a fast game, and mistakes get made. I understand that, and I have no real problem with it. However, as the general said in the FTB, things like this are why fighting exists…

Sometimes in hockey you can’t tell what the intent was without the outcome. I’d rather penalize the intent (although there are those who argue we should only penalize outcomes), but it doesn’t have a universal solution.
I've been looking at the sky
by Back In Black on Apr 17, 2009 11:35 AM EDT up reply actions
the problem with punishing intent, is the twist placed upon it by opinion. People see things differently and no matter the lack of common sense of some, it’s just a shades of grey. People like punishing outcomes because they are black and white, easier to comprehend and measure.
Intent is usually far more malicious than the result, and it should be treated/punished as such. Too bad the league is far too spineless to punish for it

If you punish intent, even if you assume the worst, then what players learn is not to throw elbows because Campbell might assume that they are actually trying to injure your opponent when you were just trying to wipe some gatorade from their cheek.

that’s the double edge sword of punishing intent…no way to truly understand it in black and white terms

also...
on more than one occasion last night, heads got rammed into the boards thanks to guys finishing their checks.
guys like pronger, lucic, chara, gill would all be at a disadvantage. you can’t regulate intent due to height differences etc.

Valid point. But use that same thought process in another context and the outcome does decide the punishment. Like theft or assault.
Wings fan by birth. Leafs fan by empathetic association.
Yeah, if I shoot at you I’ll still get in trouble but not as much as if I actually hit you and not as much as if I kill you but I will still get punished right?
In the NHL as long as you’re ok (and even if you aren’t) then I won’t be. And heat of the moment is all fine and dandy but that elbow’s only intent is to injure. That hit on Van Ryn wasn’t a hockey hit. It was an attempt to injure.
Pension Plan Puppets: A Toronto Maple Leafs blog and a group therapy session.
Including intent is a slippery slope, but it absolutely should be in the equation. Some guys get concussions from nothing, some guys don’t get them after they’ve been mauled. You get rewarded if you make a dirty hit on the right physiologically resilient player.
In the Carcillo incident, he clearly tried to make it seem part of a natural faceoff motion. (“Who, me?”). But throw in the fact [going off TSN here] he never takes faceoffs, never kills penalties, and was thrown on as a replacement for that draw, there’s a preponderance of “intent” visible here. I’d love for the league to consider things like that.
Not that Clown Campbell gave a damn. His crew probably just saw a non-star fell someone and shouted, “OUTCOME! We have someone we can afford to make an example of!”

Also, one suggestion
To better reflect the team, maybe you could change the name of this site to "Habs: Eyes On Their Gloves"?
You have to hand it to Les Glorieux, they always step it up in the spring. Who would have thought they’d be able to embarrass themselves more in this "100th season" by making the playoffs instead of missing them?

Before it’s deleted…
Sorry for expressing a differing viewpoint than you. It takes real courage to delete comments rather than engage with contrary opinions, though. Komisarek and Kostopolous would be proud.
Well, here is mine
I know you will delete this within the next minute, but…
I actually like your site and stop by once or twice a week, which makes the shenanigans today a bit disappointing. Could you please provide some rationale as to why you deleted the comments left by myself and Godd Till this morning? The great thing about SB Nation, and blogs in general, is that they provide a forum for discussion. If you can’t accept a bit of criticism, especially when you make outrageous claims with absolutely no basis in reality, you lose a lot of credibility.
I mean, seriously, you do realize that people besides you watched last night`s game and that the highlights have been playing around the clock on all the sports networks, right? If you want to console yourself by inventing scenarios to absolve the Habs of their actions last night, that is your prerogative. It would be nice though if you allowed a dissenting view.

Habs fans are funny
I was watching the Habs/Bruins game last night with my cousin who is a Habs fan and the entire game he kept talking about how they would have owned the bruins “if it wasn’t for those scumbags Grabovski and May”. Then, throughout the game he made sure to point out every time a Bruin even laid a finger on a Habs, all the while defending every cheapshot by the Habs.

Got to watch more hockey last night than I normally do in a week.
The Anaheim/SJ series looks like it could be a dandy. Interesting that it’s the first all-Cali series since LA/Oakland in 1969.
Habs embarrassed themselves last night. Not that the fan base noticed. Gainey, in his presser, said that they were “frustrated.” I guess that makes it OK.
Leaf, the universe and everything.
I was a little worried wtih picking that Cali series to go 7 but I think it’ll at least be the tighest series.

On the way to work today, I was wondering how I’d handle it. Before there was still some “well, you’d like him if he’s on your team” but no, the man is a straight-up gutless coward. Also, I don’t want us spending big $$ on another defenceman.
As the leading proponent of “I’d like him if he was on our team” I’d like to publicly apologize and state that I do not, in fact, want Komisarek on our team.
