Pepperkorn Posted December 24, 2002 Share Posted December 24, 2002 There was a play in front of the net and White pretty much body slammed Holik. I love it when a guy commit an obvious penalty like that then look to the ref with his arms sprad saying "who me?" That was so NOT a body slam! Holik was fumblefeckin' all around Marty -- you know how he is - and finally White sort of picked him up and threw him off. It was a lame call. Stevens wouldn't have been called on it. Then the other White penalty was lame too -- like minor choppy kind of cross checking but like how Dano and Stevens always do! It was such a dummass call! Maybe a little high but White's tall he can't help it! Holik deserved the third star like he deserves a third nut. What for playing like he should have been all year? For getting it up for his former team - because that's so hard? It was a stupid call. Gomez deserved it more for his goal and his cute little save there too!

Kinda like your "savior" Kaspar did when holding Friesen's left arm in front of Dunham when it was a clear penalty? Yeah, I love that too.

Blackjack Posted December 24, 2002 Share Posted December 24, 2002 btw, I love how Kasper goes after Elias after the horn sounds, and there's no roughing call. Nice diving effort after 5' 7 Brian Gionta pulled him away though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elias Sports Bureau Posted December 24, 2002 Share Posted December 24, 2002 btw, I love how Kasper goes after Elias after the horn sounds, and there's no roughing call. Nice diving effort after 5' 7 Brian Gionta pulled him away though. That really was hysterical. Little Gionta reaches around to put his arm between them and Kaspar goes down like a sack of wet cement. And he's looking around for a call... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJayDevil Posted December 24, 2002 Share Posted December 24, 2002 and Messier is standing right next to the ref after Little G pulled him down agruing to the ref to make a call... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFett Posted December 24, 2002 Share Posted December 24, 2002 They could easily win a round in the playoffs, and perhaps two. Anyone saying otherwise is paranoid about past failure. I completely disagree. come playoff time we shall see Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek21 Posted December 24, 2002 Share Posted December 24, 2002 The 3 stars were right on. Holik deserved it with the way he played. It's not always about goals or points. Holik was everywhere in last night's game driving his ex-team nuts. Brodeur got lucky too with the post. Nice to see that the people who selected the 3 stars at last night's game weren't as biased as the writers at CAA 11/21. They had the audacity to select all 3 Devils when clearly Poti or Messier deserved one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devils731 Posted December 25, 2002 Share Posted December 25, 2002 It's not always about goals or points. Holik was everywhere in last night's game driving his ex-team nuts. In the end it is about goals and assists and preventing goals and assists. Its hard to say a player who was involved in half the goals in the game is less deserving than someone who was involved in none of them. But of course this comes from a biased Devils fan who couldn't be like the unbiased Ranger fans. -Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weekes Head Posted December 26, 2002 Author Share Posted December 26, 2002 If Holik went -347284, got tossed from the game from a match penalty and intent to injure, didn't have a single point, and pretty much just stood out there like a dumbass, he'd still be a star of the game.

SBT Posted December 26, 2002 Share Posted December 26, 2002 Indeed. He would be THE star(fish) of the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
