flyercanuck Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 I was going to say if that's Scurko then it's an old story. But they convicted him...could only happen to a Flyers pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Podein25 Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 We sure know how to pick 'em. So would that have been Clarkie GM at the time? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DinahMoeHumm Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 I remember the story of the murder, but I didn't realize at the time that he was a Flyers pick. The story says that he acted "in a state of diminished sanity." Yeah, I'd say stabbing someone 14 times would qualify as diminished sanity... at the very least. I realize no one really likes refs, but geez... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PuckMeister Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 To all,Where was he during the Pens series? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DinahMoeHumm Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Where was he during the Pens series?He wasn't needed. Jagr and Talbot had already stuck a knife in the Pens' back, so his presence would have been redundant... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PuckMeister Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Dinah,My intent was as an answer for all of the blatant penalties that should have been called on the NHL's poster boys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DinahMoeHumm Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 @PuckMeister: Eh, there were non-calls both ways, for sure. That being said, I'd say the Flyers power play did its fair share of damage during that series. I don't think it needed much help... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giroux was still high in the points list when it was all done. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TedZep Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 I thought they should have brought him up during the 2009 playoff series vs. the Pens. Those referees were awful. It's one thing to be intimidated by Bettman into throwing the series, quite another to be threatened to call an even game by an actual murderer.
