Hope Voit is on the first line again tonight.Whoopee. Part 2 of Sting grumbling complete!!
On to part 3!!
What shall we gripe about now??
Exactly those two need to go, either let legwand have full control of the coaching with new assistants, or keep him as forward coach and hire new head and defence coachesjust when I think this team can’t get any worse....do the right thing Hatcher...fire yourself and Staubitz and go sit up in the suite like you should be. This team doesn’t want to play for you and it shows.
Any know if the game is on TV? Tired of these games not being available. On the other hand all this team does is frustrate me so maybe better if it isn't? Haha.
Kooy returns tonight. Sounds like he is backing up but not 100% sure.
Love when these opposing fans come on here to say Hatcher is a goon. What's he have 1 suspension in the OHL? Maybe 2 if I'm forgetting one.
So many soft people now that watch hockey. All night you could hear there fans booing whenever one of their guys would be knocked over or hit hard. It's a contact sport people..
Also Hatcher hits are about the only thing exciting about this damn team lol.
It was only kneeing because O'Rourke jumped out of the way. You see it all the time. If the guy being hit doesn't leap out of the way he gets knocked on his a** & if he jumps out of the way unfortunately it ends up being Knee on Knee.Of course you are allowed to hit, but both plays that Hatcher was booked for were intent to injure plays. He runs O'Rourke behind the net as the period ends, while O'Rourke is already tangled with Bitten. Looked like a clear charging call to me but he was booked for a high stick. Then later the kneeing play was a typical dangerous play penalty call. I enjoy the physical play, but not at the expense of the rulebook.
All this talk about Tymkin on the London board, but Hatcher is running around on the ice doing the same stuff.
Sounds like O’Rourke needs to man up and take the hit instead of trying to dodge it and take a knee. 9 times out of 10, Hatchers hits are solid clean hits. Deal with it.You see it all the time because goons like Hatcher try to finish a check even when it's not there. Because they don't care. Intent to injure. Hence the penalty.
