Hockey... now THAT is a WTF moment

<< < (7/10) > >>

Malenko:
I believe Chad had the moves of Patrick Roy about as I believe that player slashed his own goalie on purpose.

They interviewed both players Ballard and Vokoun, one guy said sorry, the other guy forgave him. Yeah lets end this guys career that he's worked so hard for to get to the pro level because he made an innocent mistake. Players break their sticks, especially against the posts, all the time. Big ---smurfing--- deal. You guys are just pissed off because you weren't good enough to make it to be a pro hockey player.

All this talk of where he got hit and how the equipment works, Im sure when you played hockey chad, back in what, 1941? all they had for goalies was the Jason type mask (think Splatter-house) the equipment now DOES protect the entire head for the most part (there is space in the back between the rear head guard and the front mask). The hit was in the front of the mask, just be hind the grill. The cut he was so massively bleeding from ( /sarcasim) was a tiny little cut on his ear where the mask pinched it.  Also, he wont be suspended because he didn't break any rules. Chad cant be banned because he hasnt broken any yet, so there's nothing anyone can do about either thing.

Everyone keeps talking what ifs , what if he hit the other goalie, what if Vokoun was badly hurt, what if Kobe didn't anally rape that girl in Colorado, well none of that is what happened. You cant punish what ifs in any sort of way that is just and fair.

Warren Sapp putting that blind sided ---smurfing--- ---uvula--- hit on Chad Clifton is one thing, trying to break your stick on the post and hitting your goalie is an entirely different ball of wax. Also, basketball sucks. Vokoun got a cut on the ear, Clifton couldn't walk for 5 week; you tell me whats worse



side note, Warren Sapp said he didn't break any rules or do anything wrong and didnt give a ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- that he almost ended a guys carreer; Ballard apologized the same day it happened.

Who here has ever claimed what Sapp did was anything but wrong?  It was within the rules but it was a very, very dirty play.  The rules were changed after that and now it would be a penalty.

Breaking your stick on the goal is against the rules.  It's an unsportsmanlike penalty, they just don't call it much for some reason.  They call it at every level except the NHL.

Sapp hit someone within the rules, Ballard hit someone within the rules; that was the comparison. So now you're mad he broke his stick? I thought you were mad he hit his goalie on accident.

Erm... there is nothing within the rules about smashing your stick on the post.  There is nothing within the rules about a slash to the face - the rules do not differentiate between accidental or intentional for high sticking.  That wasn't even during play, it was a dead puck, so the two aren't even close to the same thing on any level.  It's a dick move to slash at the goal like that - injuring a teammate during a dead puck dick move is the type of thing that should bring an internal suspension. 

I have never defended Sapp's hit - it was unnecessary and 30 yards away from the ball.  But comparing something that happened during play to a dead time act doesn't even make sense.

Secondly, your ability to miss the most obvious point is down right amazing.

Johnny hit someone playing football on purpose and hurt the kid really bad, but it wasnt against the rules. Johnny is fine with what he did.

Billy hit somone playing hockey on accident and hurt the kid a little, but it wasnt against the rules. Billy said sorry.

Why chastize the guy for an accident? No ones saying its ok to hit your team mate with a stick, I'm just saying its forgivable.
