sammyk Posted January 14, 2004 Share Posted January 14, 2004 Holy sh!t...I wouldn't mind a damn fight in our game! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek21 Posted January 14, 2004 Share Posted January 14, 2004 Yeah. I expected the nastiness towards the end of the Rangers' laugher over the Isles. It's the best game I have ever seen them play live. I pray they play like that on Thursday night. But why do I have the same feeling I always do when they play the Devils ? As for JR's tirade... He'll probably get a short suspension too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sammyk Posted January 14, 2004 Share Posted January 14, 2004 As for JR's tirade... He'll probably get a short suspension too. Probably, but what he said is right. It's good to see someone be vocal about it. This is what the stars of the game should be bitching about, not how it's boring. What's the league gonna do, suspend all it's stars? I'm sure that'll go over real well with the owners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJayDevil Posted January 14, 2004 Author Share Posted January 14, 2004 JR: ``NHL, wake up!'' Roenick said. ``Blaine Angus is standing right in front of me and he says he doesn't see it. What is he looking at? The National Hockey League has to step in and tell these guys to open up their eyes.'' Roenick continued by calling the officiating ``terrible, absolutely terrible. Blaine Angus did an absolutely terrible job.'' It is about time someone spoke, but I'm sure those words will cost him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheeps Posted January 14, 2004 Share Posted January 14, 2004 The NHL should realize first and foremost that they are rewarding the incompetency of the officials. Barely anything happens when they make big mistakes like in the Flyers game. But as soon as someone criticizes them, they get suspended. They are promoting silence. SILENCE = DEATH Wanna know why the NHL is how it is now? This is one reason. I did think it a bit humorous, though, that Roenick very very very VERY quietly mentioned that the first high stick was from his own teammate, negating its importance...

How was it important? Are you saying the ref should have penalized Kapanen for high sticking Roenick? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pepperkorn Posted January 14, 2004 Share Posted January 14, 2004 You know I hated how fun those games were. My husband just doesn't like the Devils. He was so rocking out on the LEAFS game. I can't even deal yeah... the Devils were in a class by themselves last night... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devilsadvoc8 Posted January 14, 2004 Share Posted January 14, 2004 I watched some of the Flyer game last night and I dont know why JR flipped. It was his own player who cut him. I understand the emotion of the moment but he lost his cool. This Flyer team is close to having one of its annual implosions. How long before Clarke makes a big trade? Problem is they are starting to get thin at the prospect level and Clarke can't get on the ice and break the opposing team's best player's ankles anymore. Its actually good news for the Devils though. While the Devs can't find any type of offense, the Flyers are stagnating at the same time keeping the Devils within a couple of points. We are also seeing the impact that Comrie causes: beautiful playmaking and horrible defense and penalties. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nieuwy25 Posted January 14, 2004 Share Posted January 14, 2004 We are also seeing the impact that Comrie causes: beautiful playmaking and horrible defense and penalties. Wow! Hitchcock must be so pleased! The Leafs/Flames game also ended in a bunch of fights (nothing like the Flyers) and Sutter was standing on the bench yelling "F U" about 10 times in a row to one of the officials. He got a bench minor, but I'm curious to see if he gets more of a reprimand. He wouldn't stop saying it - it was pretty funny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbdf Posted January 14, 2004 Share Posted January 14, 2004 Did anyone actually see the incident with JR - he makes it sound like the ref was standing right there looking right at him - where exactly was the ref, and where was the puck, in relation to JR - I'm guessing it was something behind the play and the ref was watching the puck carrier(as he should have), not JR and his overpaid ass getting hacked behind the play, but I'm just guessing. Someone who saw this happen, please chime in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't see it, but isn't that why there are two refs? One to watch the puck carrier, the other to watch what's going on behind the play?

LOTCB Posted January 14, 2004 Share Posted January 14, 2004 JR is right, but if you think for 1 second Im gonna feel sorry for an organization that was credited a goal THAT WENT THROUGH THE OUTSIDE OF THE NET in a Pivotal Game 2 of a playoff series against my Sabres which turned the momentum clearly in Phillys favor in a series the Sabres were up 1 game to 0...you can forget it JR!!!! Enjoy your suspension and take a vacation and play some golf!! NO GOAL II Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw it, it happend in the corner of the Flyers offensive zone. They Flyers were cycling the puck and Jr was moving to the side boards. THe ref was standing along the boards by the faceoff dot. It was right in the middle of the play and the correct call. The officiating this year is an excuse, it always has been but this year so much worse. The nhl NEEDS to do something other then protect the worthless sacks they call refs right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How was it important? Are you saying the ref should have penalized Kapanen for high sticking Roenick? No, I'm saying that's what he was implying. He was ranting about how they missed it twice, started pointing to his lip for sympathy, and briefly muttered that the first one was by Kapanen... so he's yelling to get both penalized and then mutters that one was by a teammate... the implication was there.

I saw both high sticks, the water bottle toss, the three complaints on ice to the refs, and the postgame conference at least two dozen times. The second time, not the Kapanen one, he basically skated by a ref complaining about it while play was going on, totally taking himself out of position. Refs don't make calls late, JR, so if you want to take yourself out of position to be a two year old, go ahead. I believe I will photochop a ballet dancer and JR a la Divealanche.com's Forsberg. He deserves it more than good ol' Olympic Diver over there... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
