    You're right a clean hit from head on is exactly the same as shoving someone head-first into the boards from behind.

    I must've forgotten the Blind Side hit rule they enacted last year.

    Good thing you didn't.

    Wait, I got those backwards.


    Edit: These posts mean; It is hockey, you get used to not every call going your way pretty quickly.

    It's part of the game.

    You're being ridiculous, that's a clean shoulder check.

    Anyway, Chris Osgood just became the 10th goalie to get 400 wins. 4/6 on the PP for the Wings.

    I'm not even sure what you're implying I misunderstood; Ovie's hit on Malkin wasn't blindside at all.

    Also, what call not going my way are you even talking about?

    I agree that it was exactly as clean as letangs "hit"

    Like, Letang totally hit Spezza in the shoulder, no question. Both his arms were in Spezza's Left Armpit.

    And he didn't even hit him into the boards.

    You really are the homerest. Dude made a disrespectful hit he knew would throw a guy's face into the boards.

    Or, Spezza turned his back on a player who then let up while Spezza lost and edge and hit the boards awkwardly.

    He lost his edge because Letang propelled him into the boards. I repeat, you are the homerest.

    Letang seriously has both hands on Spezza's left armpit.

    Like, go watch it again.

    That isn't a hit from behind by the very definition of hit from behind.

    And I agree (with the NHL Refs) he should've received a two min penalty for it.

    His hands are pretty clearly on Spezza's numbers at the beginning of that push.

    Pissed.

    I'm impressed that team grew a spine tonite and stuck it out when things clearly weren't going their way (and the refs didn't help). Gritty, shootout win is gritty and 2 points. Still the best start in team history, but standards have been raised.

    Sweden is pretty strong, and the Swiss have improved a lot the last few years, but Finland, Czechs and Slovaks all seem to be declining. Basically its Canada, USA, Russia, Sweden and then a pretty big gap.

    boo urns. International hockey needs to get better, not worse...

    I'm not sure what to say here. The Czechs, Russians, Swedes etc.. are all great teams.
    Canada and the USA having better teams lately does not invalidate any other programs.

    The place the real problem exists is womens hockey. Two competitive teams do not make for a legit olympic sport, unfortunately. The euro's don't seem to be getting any better either.

    And, yeah, I think Womens Hockey is on its last legs as an Olympic Sport.

    It sucks that a women's sport might fail because two nations were progressive and spent time and resources towards great programs and developing their athletes.

    this... is not how the battle for gender equality is supposed to go.

    Sweden is pretty good at women's hockey. Though when they beat either the US or Canada it will be considered quite an upset. Russia being so terrible is what surprises me.

    If you don't count the 5v4 against Washington, where the first penalty had just ended but the guy wasn't even out the doors when they scored, well....

    I dunno, like 10 min in the last 3 games, at least.
