Yourself, your alter ego (rawdawg) and like that need to just leave this thread and go troll in the basement where you belong!

The rest I'm sure you can figure out.

Did you even watch the game? It wasn't NY being physical....they were gooning it up the entire game. I'm all for a little revenge, when its warranted. This was not. It was bullshit.

No, I'm not the only. There's plenty of hockey writers who thought it was a BS call and suspension, especially since that pussy got up and played the rest of the game injury free.

What happened on Long Island was absolutely ridiculous.

When Harrison did it, the Pittsburgh faithful was all about it, even discussing how "this is how sports are played in pittsburgh." Then when he got fined everyone was all up in arms. As for the Islanders game, same thing they were being dirty, and I guess all I can say is look at the reactions here. Just another case of being able to dish it but not take it.

As for Ovechkin, what comes around goes around, he's no fucking angel.......his knee shot to Gonchar and his blatant runs at people, leaving his feet every single, time proves it, but hey, he's Alex Ovechkin, he gets a free pass!

rock_knutne;679219 wrote:I've read quite a few articles since Mario made his statement and it seems a lot of people are not with him and that's to be expected. When Mario played he never got any respect from the league and was constantly grabbed, clutched, held and slashed (something you could never ever do to Gretzky) every time he had the puck because that's the only way he could be stopped, thus leading to Mario calling the NHL a "garage league". I find it funny that everyone is saying that because Mario employs Matt Cooke, he's being a hypocrite on the matter at hand. Last I saw, Matt Cooke isn't hitting guys when they're down and hurt, Matt Cooke isn't trying to sucker punch people and Matt Cooke's actions aren't premeditated. It's funny that some of these idiots running NHL franchises can't seperate the fact that what the Islanders did was a premeditated act. Mario overcame all that bullshit as a player and he will overcome the same assholes who are against him now.
