“KRON-VALLED”

[hf101]

Kornwall just deserves his own thread of ......"legal" hit videos.

The latest victim 24 year-Latvian Kaspars Saulietis who’s never played the guy.

Guess he didn't review any film, eh?

Even in the Olympics, that's not a penalty!

Love the quotes, 101! Unnecessary, but make the post more fun! I think you were just trying to get me going.

In all seriousness, I hope that the league includes one or more of his hits in their "legal hits" video for this upcoming season to delineate the reasons his hits are legal--that's if they do one at all.

Maybe he thought his name was Kasparitus.........Noone ever claimed Kronwall was a brain surgeon.............

[WingNut722]

At the risk of drawing the ire of all the Flyers fans here, do you suppose he was channeling Jakub Voracek for this hit? It's exactly the same but with different colored shirts...

[ruxpin]

I don't think I see anything illegal here. Terrific check. What exactly was Kaspars looking at that he didn't see him coming?

You won't get my ire. I like Kronwall. Wish he was a Flyer, actually.

Same here. In fact, I'd bet that every Flyers fan would love Kronwall if he played for the Flyers.

@WingNut722

I hope you have learned that you gotta get up before breakfast to get the ire of @JackStraw or @ruxpin

I, on the other, am full of ire, pretty much all the time.

REPORTED!!!

Since you mentioned it;

@SpikeDDS

I thought we should put videos all of Kronwalls's best work in one thread. B)

......and btw, I was inspired by the profile from one of our newest members from Sweden.

Yeah then he'd get suspended for all of them hits in orange and black... :blink:

[hf101]

4min for roughing, lol

Except, thankfully, no fencing response. I don't care how clean his hits are, even I don't care to see injuries result from them. Bell rung? Maybe. But not serious injury. No one wants that.

4min for roughing, lol

That WAS ridiculous!

Kronwall Hits Havlat - Wings at Blackhawks Game 3 - May 22 09 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3KJm-qcnnC0

So was the penalty call for "interference." Puck in Havlat's feet? LOL!

[SpikeDDS]

@OccamsRazor

Unfortunately, I think you are right that he would get called for more in a Flyers sweater. Not all of them, mind you, but some.

[WingNut722]

@hf101

Thanks for vids. I remember that Havlat hit. HUGE! This has been marketed in the Detroit area ever since. I have a print myself, framed.

[WingNut722]

@Podein25

Hey Pods, keep your ire to yourself, yeah? It's not likeI hit Voracek? :-)

[Podein25]

@WingNut722

Lol, ok. And for the record, I too would like to see Kronwall in O&B.

[WingNut722]

@Podein25

I think he's coming into a contract year. Now may be the time for Homer to put together an offer package. I'll give him your recommendation.

[Vanflyer]

@ruxpin-

I just don't like the fact that he is leaving his feet. He has mastered his technique for sure, but 8 out of 10 of these hits he is thrusting his legs and propelling his body upward into the opposing player. I know I would undoubtedly not mind him as a Flyer at all. Just as I did not mind Lindros as a Flyer (when he was at his nasty best). My beef is that Kronwall never answers the bell for these hits (unlike lindros). That's part because of the instigator rule and part just because he is a plan p u s s y outside of these hard hits.

@WingNut722

"I think he's coming into a contract year."

Surely you jest since he is signed for the rest of the decade!!

Yeah, I was hoping and praying that he would hit free agency but the Wings are smart enough not to let him get away.

@JackStraw

Interesting that he was such a late bloomer to the NHL. That said, I am not sure I like the contract he signed with detroit. He is basically signed until he is 39. Prior to the last two seasons, He was injured for 20% of the time.

Still, a player you love to have on your team and hate on the other team.

I didn't realize the contract was so long. I guess they're hoping he'll last as long as Lidstrom, which I doubt. Still, he's got a bunch of good years ahead of him.
