Hockey Friends: How does Montreal have ANY shot without Price

[scottcarter]

Funny how in both instances you cite Krieder has his legs taken out from under him by a defense man. He is 6'3" and weighs 226 pounds. His job is to go hard to the net. But any true hockey fan would know this.

funny that both instances he takes out the goalie's legs. The announcer is wrong. Sounds like a homer. His job is to hard to the net NOT into the net! Dozens of players in the NHL jobs are to go hard to the net yet Krieder seems to do it wrong. Again, not saying he is dirty, but reckless he is for sure.

Spin it all you want guys. No other player has knocked out 2 goalies in 2 seasons. Surely you can see somethings a muck here? He should stop injuring goalies by taking a different angel maybe like every other player does. He needs to respect the game more than he does today.

Wow. So the announcers are Homers? What about the refs who called 0 (zero) penalties on both plays. I suppose they were paid off?

Don't worry Krieder only hates goalies on Canadian teams. Crawford and Quick needn't worry.

...also if these were such "disrespectful" plays why has the NHL not suspended him after the fact. I guess the guys in the front office are homers too?

again, I never said it was or wasn't a penalty. Not even a dirty play. Reckless describes it pretty well. You don't need to run into goalies to be a good player. No one else does it seems. Not to the degree of knocking out 2 starters in 2 seasons. Yes some announcers are homers. It is what it is. As far as the refs go, there a many penalties refs miss in any given game. You know that because you have seen it hundreds of times.

Bottom line, he was reckless once again and now the series in tainted somewhat. Whether the Rangers win the series or don't, I think me and most hockey fans would have rather see Price play against Lundquist. I am sure that if a Habs player did the same thing to Lundqusit in Game 1 and Lundquist was lost for the series, there would be criticism directed at the Habs player. Especially if he was a repeat offender. Regardless if he received a penalty or not. Am I wrong?

The NHL must crack down on players recklessly going into goalies. They will call it the Krieder rule.

Well yes I agree I would rather see us beat the Habs with their starting goalie in net. Krieder does not recklessly go into goalies!!!! He goes hard to the net and in both instances his legs are taken out from underneath him. We will obviously never agree on this point so let's just leave it at that. If it was not for Krieder's play, apart from taking Price out, my team would not be where it is today. So let's just get ready for game 3 at the garden tonight and hope for a good, clean game by both teams.

as long as youre not attatched to the rags you know what it was, and Roenick is just saying what everyone else knows.

Briere is so clutch. Lets hope it holds up

ouch, and kreider no less. Habs just gotta keep out of Tokarskis way, if hes near it he stops it, if the teams playing goalie for him its in the net.

 

[nuckers]

Damn the rook outplayed the king tonight. Both teams stole a game they didnt deserve in this series, and weve got a series again.

Funny how all the posters who came in this thread and said Krieder was disrespecting the game of hockey for accidentally running into Price are now silent on Prust intentionally breaking Stephan's jaw.

I guess headhunting is not that disrespectful to the game of hockey, or I just don't understand the nuances of the game.

I am assuming you are referring to me as one of those people.

Funny how someone will intentionally attempt to mislead others by spinning someones words around. I prefer to discuss using facts as much as possible.

I am with many others including American Jeremy Roenick who said he did run into Price and did it ""purposely on purpose". I agreed with that and I said he was "reckless". I never called Kreider a dirty player but the fact is, he took out 2 starting goalies in 2 years. Coincidence or reckless hockey? Since its never happened in NHL before, I would say the latter. Maybe next year if Krieder injures another starter, those in denial will admit what we already know. Maybe.

Watch the video first before making unfounded accusations. The 40 second mark proves he did not hit his head.

You seem to have an amazing ability to read someone's mind. Hockey players at least. You know that Krieder wasn't thinking to hurt Price and you also know that Prust intentionally was looking to break Stepan's jaw. Amazing.

There was no headhunting. He hit him in the chest but it was a late hit and he should have gotten a penalty. I can't read minds but I doubt that the former Ranger deliberately set out to break his former team mate's jaw.

I also assume you're talking about me, I didn't come in here to say anything about Prust because what was there to say? it was a late illegal hit and he got suspended for it. Do I need to come in here and pat the nhl on the back for suspending a suspendable play? If they didn't suspend Prust then I would've come in here and said that's bullshit. As I would have if they hadn't given anything to Carcillo but he got suspended as well, you didn't see me in here saying shit about him. You've got your rangers undies tied up in knots thinking we're out to get the rangers and only trash rags players...Kreider got away with a dirty play and took out a star, no punishment that's why I said something, had he gotten a couple games + what was left to say? he didn't... That he has a history of that same dirty play, and Scott only mentions the Anderson play as the other time but his hit on Fleury was as dirty as they come, he's got a history of crossing the line on defenseless goalies and he's on your team so you don't want to see it but he is what he is and it's not a clean respected player, rags have lots of class acts on that roster he's just not one of them. If you want to think he's a good guy cause Prust did something bad too, then you've got some weird sense of logic but both plays were bush league, yet only one got suspended.

Sorry. I will have to be totally literal with you I guess. By headhunting I meant a generalization of intentionally trying to injure a player. Yea Prust would never try to injure an ex-teamate and yet he can be seen in game two slashing at Krieders surgically repaired wrist.

Well if Roenick agrees with you then you must be right. No?

If I can find some former player (and I'm sure I could if I looked) who says that what Krieder did was an accident will I be right?

Just admit you are a hypocrite and we'll leave it at that.

Well if Roenick agrees with you then you must be right. No? The reason I mentioned it was you previously made it appear that only Canadians would say it wasn't a clean hit.

Just admit you are a hypocrite and we'll leave it at that. Where? All is said (sarcastically) was you seems to have the ability to know what these guys were thinking but strangely its always if it suites the NYR. Me a hypocrite? Look up the meaning first.

:think2:

nuckers said it perfectly above

 

[carlspackler]

The hypocrisy lies in you calling out Krieder as disrespecting the game while silent on Prust disrespecting the game with a late hit that caused an injury.


Speaking of disrespecting the game. Can you name the person who said this?

"We expect Derrick Brassard to play and we know exactly where he is injured. Hockey is a small world."

Wow 4 pages on a hockey thread in the main forum. Like one of the mods here said, having the three biggest American markets along with one of the biggest Canadian markets in the conference finals is the best thing to happen to the NHL in a while.
