nossagog Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 There FlyerRod, I put the thread up for you. Actually, probably better to have a separate thread for this anyway. I actually think most rationally Pens fans(Yes, there are a few of us) did not see this as an intentional thing by Niskanen. In today's NHL you are allowed to crosscheck players hard in the back, even though still illegal. The problem was that Nisky committed to that hard crosscheck in the back, went for it and then followed the puck away from the play without seeing Crosby going down. Don't get me wrong, and he's admitted it, he meant to crosscheck him, but just not that hard and not in the head. I actually believe him, he did not attempt a head shot.

nossagog Posted May 3, 2017 Author Share Posted May 3, 2017 I never said that, he made what he "thought" was going to be a clean play, and it turned out back. That happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously...who the hell has that douchebags name on their helmet? Previous playoff meltdowns aside, Fleurys been a good goalie and seems like an even better person...but that's just wrong.

nossagog Posted May 5, 2017 Author Share Posted May 5, 2017 Crosby's first official comments on the play: Quote "(Ovechkin) is just trying to prevent a goal. That's a pretty common play," Crosby said. "There are different levels of how hard, but that's standard as far as going to the net with the puck, guys are trying to prevent you from shooting. "The other play (with Niskanen) is hard to say. I'm not going to sit here and guess. It's not one that happens too often." Sounds like he's just writing it off as a hockey play.
