Pietrangelo (not Backes) Groin Spear

[Cawz]

Pietrangelo (not Backes) is the latest to spear someone in the nuts (ironically Pouliot, who did the same to a Wings player a few games ago).

Seriously, what is wrong with these people? What kind of man spears someone in the nuts? How can players look a teammate in the eye after they do that? This seems to be happening way too often (once is too often).

From the Oilers feed replay (added after the fact by a moderator):

He must be a secret Wings fan.

Did I miss it? I watched the entire game...when did it happen?

Need a video.

After the final whistle. It was the reason for the scrum at the end of the game. Sorry, I don't have a video. They showed it on the Oilers replay and he stuck him between the legs twice from behind.

Seriously, who does that? What the ****s wrong with people.

He must have been watching too many Milan Lucic highlights

That sounds way too dramatic.

Needing some footage here? Like, 30 seconds worth would be awesome. Fox sports midwest didn't have a little piece of that scrum.

An Oilers fan posted this following statement though, so I'm confused...

Pouliot going ball spearing again

 

[Dbrownss]

I missed it to on the Blues feed. We had no idea what it was about. Announcers only mentioned Pouliot doing something to Pietrangelo and Backes went after him.

This isnt like Backes....he usually just tries to maul someone(it's hard to watch because he sucks at fighting). But nothing that's actually dirty play

 

[KirkOut]

This is so unlike Backes. He usually gets all hot and bothered after the final whistle when we lose. Not when we win though

I don't think so. I could never respect someone who jabs at people's nuts. At least cross-check the guy or punch him or something.

Pouliot was cross-checking Pietrangelo from behind and so Backes gave him the business between the legs from behind. Pouliot went after Backes and the scrum ensued.

I just cant believe that every other week it seems someones sticking someone in the nuts in a professional hockey league. Is this what happens when they try to take fighting out of the league?

No idea what he was getting at, unless Pouliot did it as well. They didn't show Pouliot spearing anyone in the replay I saw. Just cross-checking in the back.

I went back and watched it. Pouliot was cross-checking Bouwmeester and Pietrangelo wacked Pouliot in what looks to be the groin, the angle looks like it's on the leg but the motion indicate groin. Backes then engages Pouliot after he goes after Pietrangelo.

So it was our alterboy that did it...lol

This has always happened. It's not like it was just invented recently.

 

[tarheelhockey]

It's almost like this is the National Hockey League.

 

[Vincenzo Arelliti]

Pietrangelo didn't choose the thug life, the thug life chose Pietrangelo?

Ooooh burn!

 

[Korpse]

Backes is a clown, no surprise.

You see this on a daily basis from the guy in your avatar picture and the meat head #17 on the team as well.

 

[bradrich99]

so wait, after reviewing the clip it is determined that backes didnt do any spearing at all as op states - yet he still gets crucified for it? nice job hf...

 

[bleedblue1223]

Apparently you shouldn't mess with Petro, didn't know he had it in him.

Reading comprehension issues?

Nah....it was more of a tapping....Pouliot didn't pay much attention to it till he was done abusing Bouwmeester lolz. He's still the same squishy pie we know and love

Alex Pietrangelo WILL kill you...

















with kindness!

Since threads don't need video these days I thought I could fill in the missing info, went something like this...
