Vanflyer Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 Not one mention on the video of Mase getting knocked out of the game. Betts still sucking Pens tite. http://www.nhl.com/gamecenter/en/recap?id=2013021213&navid=sb:recap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brelic Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 Bah, par for the course. In the NBC broadcast yesterday, it started with Pierre interviewing Crosby. Then at the first TV timeout, they interviewed Bylsma. Then the next one, they had a Crosby montage. And then a piece on Letang. I watched most of the game on mute. It's better that way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polaris922 Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 Maybe because he wasn't "run"? It's a damn hockey play. How many threads you boys gonna cry in about your diving goalie? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philly29 Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 How many times are you going to post on the Flyers forum defending it??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polaris922 Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 How many times are you going to post on the Flyers forum defending it???How many times are Flyers fans going to start different threads overreacting to it? That would be your answer. *shrugs* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radoran Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 How many times are you going to post on the Flyers forum defending it??? He's been respectful and offers a difference of opinion. There are plenty of threads in the Pens forum with Flyers fans taking issue with Pens fans' assertions. Maybe because he wasn't "run"? It's a damn hockey play. How many threads you boys gonna cry in about your diving goalie? I said when he went down that he was like a sack of potatoes and was milking it a bit. I think he may have banged the back of his head on the ice when falling back. That said, the Pens player isn't making any effort to pursue the puck at all - he is simply driving the defenceman deliberately into the goalie's crease. That is "running the goalie." That's why it was a penalty. Look at the video, puck comes in, Mason saves off to his left. Megna simply drives MacDonald back into the crease, making absolutely no attempt to play the puck at all. It happens quickly, but it's not a bang bang play. It's an AHL-quality play from an AHL-quality player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TedZep Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 It happens quickly, but it's not a bang bang play. It's an AHL-quality play from an AHL-quality player. Good assessment. No further defense of Menga's illegal - and properly punished - actions are necessary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Knut Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 (edited) I totally agree. The appropriTe reAction is a similar hockey play that injured the other goalie. Tit for tat. Problem is our guys do that and get suspended. Your guys do that and the league hands them money, first overall picks and new rule books. Maybe because he wasn't "run"? It's a damn hockey play.

Problem is our guys do that and get suspended. Your guys do that and the league hands them money, first overall picks and new rule books. Blah blah blah ... You guys got away with Devils style obstruction the entire first period, nothing called. Megna got an appropriate if rarely called interference penalty. Many Flyers fans here agree Mason embellished the fall. Enough with the "aww poor us, the officials hate us so" garbage. Every team in the league can say the same thing from game to game. Officiating is inconsistent at best and we all know it. If I'm the bad guy for pointing out a simple embellishment then so be it. Again.

doom88 Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Why so butthurt over this Polaris? It makes no sense. Wait for one that's controversial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philly29 Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 I agree Radoran I have no problem with input from other fans especially to avoid group think and another perspective. That being said it gets on my nerves when an AHLer that takes out our starting goalie with the intention to hurt and people on this forum defending it or calling the guy that got hurt a good actor.

Knut directed his post to me, so I replied. Nothing more than that! I don't think this was a controversial issue at all. I just don't get why some people are making a mountain out of a molehill on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
