CanadianChris 0 Report post Posted January 7, 2009 I think I figured out what happened with Peters. He got an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty for the very loud swearing he was doing after Ruutu bit his finger. It couldn't be anything else...so that's what they went with. What a joke. Or it could have been the fact that he tried to gouge Ruutu's eye out beforehand. Not that I care what happens to that piece of shit anyway after he tried to beat up our goalie 2 years ago. He should get penalties for just stepping onto the ice. Well that was Ruutu's story. The league disagreed and suspended him for 2 games. I'm not saying he didn't bite him. I'm saying Peters certainly wasn't the innocent bystander there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CanadianChris 0 Report post Posted January 7, 2009 Yeah. All the World Junior games, and obviously HNIC, are branded with the TSN logo. But to answer your question, Twiggs, anyone (at least in America) who's not a Rangersfan, Habs fan, or someone who watches the NHL Network often would likely not know about the broadcast. Obviously.

CanadianGuitarist 0 Report post Posted January 7, 2009 Remember kiddies, Montreal at the Rangers on NHL Network at 7:30 Eastern/4:30 Pacific! Who's forgetting that? I certainly haven't. TSN has a crew there as well - no Centre Ice package for me at the moment, so I'll take all the English broadcasts of the Habs I can get. NHL Network uses the TSN crew. Just wanted to point that out.... Is that right? Hmm. Learn somethin' new every day, I guess. Twigs?! Matt Young's goin' old-school on me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CanadianGuitarist 0 Report post Posted January 7, 2009 Peters has no reputation as a dirty player. Though I'm in no way defending him, I agree with this statement. I can recall dozens of fights and scraps, but nothing notably dirty. Surely Emery couldn't have been entirely innocent in 2007. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Ghost of bps21 0 Report post Posted January 7, 2009 Well that's shit. I watch players do that all the time and it's never called. They gave him the penalty well after the play when he was already being looked at by trainers. So they called a penalty on a guy for something they don't call penalties for, after he got bit...but no penalty for the bite? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Peters is an asshole (see the golfing incident against Toronto that treble mentioned) and a terrible fighter (Emery would have smoked him if he wasn't wearing all the pads) but yeah...he squares up with everyone and doesn't take cheap shots. He should start though...he is a terrible terrible fighter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CanadianGuitarist 0 Report post Posted January 7, 2009 Peters is the one who did the mock golf swing at the Leafs a few years ago, right? Awesome. EFA.

Matt Young 0 Report post Posted January 8, 2009 OH HELL YEAH! I thought I'd only be going to 1 Kings game this year, but it turns out I will get to see 5 more! My friend called just now saying he got 4 tickets each to 5 games, for a total of $286. I only have to miss 1 Reign game, too. The Kings games are as follows: Monday, January 12: Tampa Bay Lightning Saturday, February 14th: Edmonton Oilers Saturday, February 21st: Phoenix Coyotes Monday, March 9th: Vancouver Canucks Saturday, April 11th: San Jose Sharks I'm fucking stoked.

Smartly Pretty 0 Report post Posted January 8, 2009 Ryan Callahan is turning into the Rangers' most consistent scoring option, which is cool because I really like him, but at the same time, Ryan Callahan?

If they want to take either Dawes or Prucha, both of who are playing well right now, then we can talk. Not sure what value Prucha would have. He's still coasting off of his one big season. Why Atlanta would take Dawes OR Prucha for a gamebreaker like Kovalchuk is beyond me. If Slats offered Waddell the choice between the two, even thick-headed Waddell would probably hang up on him. To acquire Kovalchuk, you have to offer good talent in return. Dawes OR Prucha is a joke. Starts with Staal and Korpikoski, if not Staal you're probably looking at Sanguinetti. Plus the Rags 1st in this year's draft. And a middling prospect like Hagelin. Plus probably more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Smartly Pretty 0 Report post Posted January 8, 2009 I'd give him Dawes, Korpikoski, the rights to Egveny Grachev and a first. Any more than that and we'd be in danger of fucking up this season as well as seasons that haven't happened yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Smartly Pretty 0 Report post Posted January 8, 2009 I'm just saying that if the Rags want to add quality players like Kovalchuk, it's going to cost them. And you're correct. But Glen Sather has to keep in mind that there's hardly a player availible that really puts the Rangers over the top, and so giving up too much for anyone is unwise. And Rocket, you're pretty wrong. Staal and Dan Girardi have been the Rangers best defensmen this year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Matt Young 0 Report post Posted January 8, 2009 I just watched the 3rd period of Habs/Rangers. I had to leave earlier. I've seen NYR play, but this was my first time, other than a few brief bits of HNIC, I've seen Montreal. No wonder they got 4 guys voted in as all-star starters. Sheesh.
