It's amazing how dramatic some people are. I don't know if it's that they really have no clue what they're talking about or if they just don't care enough to a second and question if what they're typing makes any sense. It was a stupid, reckless, dangerous, and unnecessary hit... but the way some are acting you'd think it was some insanely dirty, once in a decade type of hit.
I can't stand watching him play for the Flyers and I wish we lived in an alternate dimension where the suspensions were up to me so I could kick his detrimental, idiotic, and irresponsible ass off of our roster and out of this league. Unfortunately for all of us, this isn't the case so the suspensions have to go by what actually happened. The hit itself was worthy of a ~5 game suspension, the fact that he's a repeat idiot is why it was 8.
I mean, look at what Neal got for kneeing Marchand in the head... 5 games. That was a far more malicious move than what Rinaldo did. Also interesting seeing people in the Rinaldo hit threads and the Neal hit threads with some inconsistent viewpoints on what's a dirty hit and what's not.
The point is, some people need to look at things with less emotion and more rational thought. I'm not defending Rinaldo at all, I can't stand him, but the comments on here are just ridiculous sometimes and I think some people need to think about what they're writing.
