Around the NHL (Part XIII): RIP Bob Suter

[ChiGuySez]

The thing with Byfuglien was no one would take liberties with the Hawks even though he wasnt a fighter. He would take on the largest player the opposition had and put him on the ice with clean hits. Hawks dont have that now. You see guys like Roussel walking all over Kane and everyone else they want to pick on.

Johns will bring it back.

Guys took runs and liberties with Buff on ice

Kronwall nearly killed Havlat with Buff standing nearby

No, it's the new assistant, Steve Spott. This is the article http://www.thestar.com/sports/leafs..._hot_on_spotts_breakout_strategy_feschuk.html



I've seen him in person a bunch of times and he's definitely not as tubby as the photos indicate. However, I doubt he'd win any prizes for commitment to fitness.

Thanks for clarifying it was a current assistant. Wow.

The Kronwall hit was basically Byfugliens first year and he didnt start with the Hawks that year.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

That Kronwall hit happened in his 2nd season as a primary NHL player

He was a 2 year vet at that point with small # of games over a 3rd as well

I don't remember if teams were taking liberties with our guys during the 2k10 playoff run? I'll never forget byfuglien putting pronger on his ass though.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Nucks too liberties on players including Buff in both 09 and 10

Buff was no deterent

Harding suspended by Wild after it was discovered he broke his foot kicking wall after altercation with teammate

Will not be paid and his cap hit will not be applied to Wild Cap while suspended

 

[CourtneyDagger50]

Lol let me just kick a wall right quick....
Who EVER thinks that is a good idea?! And I want to know who this team mate was

 

[No Fun Shogun]

Eh, I've kicked things when I've been mad, too. Hurt my toe for a couple weeks doing so once, as well.

Sometimes you just don't think straight if you've got a bad temper.

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

I broke a finger punching a locker after getting in a fight with my ex over the phone. **** happens. Pretty uncool for the Wild to suspend Harding without pay unless they're tight to the cap.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

I have never broken or hurt myself kicking/punching things

Usually I just walk off to be depressed somewhere when pissed

Kuemper gets his 1 way deal

Signs 2 yr / 1.25M AAV deal with Wild

 

[CourtneyDagger50]

Haha I mean I punched a hole through my wall after game 7 this year... so I can't really talk. Just when i think about kicking things, I think about breaking toe nails and it freaks me out.

 

[IU Hawks fan]

I broke a window after game 7.














































It was because I locked myself out of my cousin's place that I was housesitting, but I know for sure that my frustration lead to me being flustered enough to leave the keys inside when I was bringing my bags in

Makes no sense to piss off a player with starter potential over such a paltry amount of money. It's penny wise pound foolish.

Lol I punched a hole in the wall and stormed outside yelling obscenities. then i took my jersey off and threw it in my car.

That was a very dark moment in my life haha.

After saying they dont want to give him a one-way. Then they sign him to a one way for 2 years. So weird.
