I have noticed that. He sounds like……well…..I guess onlt Marc Crawford could sound like that. I think he’s up there with Fran Drescher.

What does Crawford want…to have like Worrell or Blake destroying Naslund with his head down? COME ON! This shouldn’t be a surprise in this league. We all know there are the chippy 3/4 line players that attempt to make a name for themselves by taking big runs at star players. The Yzerman thing is pointless in this topic as far as being a reference. I know D-strate you are trying to make a point about the consistancy of calls/non-calls in the game, but a guy being wacked in the face, loses 5 teeth and bleeds all over the place will be called compared to the clutching/pinning/grabbing that goes on. The hit was clean, it wasn’t like he stuck his elbow straight up and drilled Naslund in the head. I don’t care who it is..if a player has his head down, you make him pay the price. Moore did that w/ a clean hit. It’s like saying Jason Doig’s hit on Eric Lindros was dirty. Lindros had his head down, and Doig made him pay, plain and simple(this is coming from an NYR fan!) . What about Bertuzzi crushing Barrett Jackman last season(maybe it was this season) with his head down. It was more like Jackman’s face was imprinted on Bert’s shoulder pad. Was that dirty since Jackman was a Calder Trophy candidate.

I just needed to vent after that Edmonton debacle.

How about Ruutubaga?

I don't know about Wings fans being the "class" of the league, but you're the only one, I think, to fully catch the implications of the Tikkanen analogy.

Have you noticed that not even Nyuck Nyuck Nyuck fans are denying that Crawford's voice is jaw-droppingly annoying?

Take off those burgundy blinders buddy!

Funny in the same article you chastise Canuck fans for being upset (which we have every right to be) you proceed go on a rant about Jarkko Ruutu.

Ruutu maybe a dirtbag but he has the balls to face the music, unlike like some Av who will go unmentioned *cough*SteveMoore*cough* who barely put a toe on the ice in the 3rd period.

If that was Rob Blake taking out Naslund with a clean check, I wouldn't care, but it was a BORDERLINE hit by a BORDERLINE player. Your Foote/Yzerman analogy is useless here.

Oh theres hitting in hockey alright Peter, and you'll be a busy man come March, when Sakic and Forsberg will all be fair game for a (legal) hit.

D-strate, I have to say I'm a little disappointed in you. Come on buddy, I know you're above all of the crying BS, and you've showed it on past occasions.

"Jerkoff Ruutu"? I know you're more clever than that. Although I did like the reincarnation of the Esa Tikkanen....

Please don't speak of my class again, Wings fans are generally the class of the league.

I agree with you. The reaction from the Avs fans was totally uncalled for. It's a tough way to lose a game, but throwing stuff about bad calls while their was blood on the ice in both cases is ignorant.

If we're talking non-calls, like the one on Shanny, we could also go back to when Forsberg made an open ice hit on Whitney when he didn't have the puck. It was a badly officiated game all around, and the Avs just made the mistake of taking penalties that had to be called.

Thanks for bringing up that Edmonton thing….

Yep, we're waaayyyy more "worked up" than you guys. That's why all your media can talk about is "bounty" this and "payback" that.

Yep, that Forsberg sure is a bad player. Good thing you don't have him, huh?

Btw, Naslund "had" the puck. He just couldn't "control" it. Maybe he was thinking about all those "holes" that need to be filled.

You won the damn game - but I guess losing the division title (cough, choke) on the last day of the regular season is still haunting you.

Ruutu "shut down" Forsberg? Than I guess Moore "shut down" Naslund, eh?
