Been looking for a site for this similar to the hockey forum, and nothing's come close to comparing. Looking forward to seeing in up and running! - Who Dat Mon, 07 May 2012 15:49:58 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/home-mainmenu-1/24-rambling/4610-may-07-2012#comment-20737 Not saying the hit was clean, but when a player is hit in the head hard enough to supposedly leave him lying on the ice and struggling to get to the bench, isn't he supposed to automatically get sent to the quiet room? who decides when the player goes? Either the devils staff should be taken to task over letting him play right away after this 'vicious' head shot, or they should come clean and admit Zubrus told them he was embellishing the hell out of the effect it had on him. I think one game suspension is plenty. first time offender, clearly zubrus wasn't hurt. but giroux deserves a game for losing his cool and being a bit of a baby over what he thought was a non-call. - steve_oshp Mon, 07 May 2012 11:16:08 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/home-mainmenu-1/24-rambling/4610-may-07-2012#comment-20735 thanks for fixing this....although my previous persona here is no more :'( please, no tears... Nolan bit off more than he could chew, although the 'shh' crap from Stewart was bit much for a team facing elimination. Im thinking Giroux gets a game or two, im not 100% certain he targeted the head vs making a big hit on a bigger player, but much like a high sticking call- he only hit Zubrus' head. Maybe next time he just 'SheWebers' his head into the boards (Shanahan should admit he blew that one). - Rollie1967 Mon, 07 May 2012 09:59:18 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/home-mainmenu-1/24-rambling/4610-may-07-2012#comment-20732 Is the check on Girardi any different from this one? http://video.nhl.com/videocenter/console?id=151827 - Kevin9 Mon, 07 May 2012 09:20:46 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/home-mainmenu-1/24-rambling/4610-may-07-2012#comment-20730 Both are dirty players. Let's hope Shanny gives him at least one. - bullwinkle Mon, 07 May 2012 09:03:44 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/home-mainmenu-1/24-rambling/4610-may-07-2012#comment-20729 There's zero chance Shanny suspends Roo for an elimination game. $2500 fine, tops. - Username Mon, 07 May 2012 08:43:14 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/home-mainmenu-1/24-rambling/4610-may-07-2012#comment-20728 Berglund was held pointless vs the Kings. When the checking gets tough, Berglund does his best Chris Angel disappearing act. - FantasyGuru Mon, 07 May 2012 08:04:04 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/home-mainmenu-1/24-rambling/4610-may-07-2012#comment-20727 Give me a break. Did his arm come up a bit, sure. Did the acting job by Zubrus make it oh so much more devastating, your dam right it did. What a puke. It's chumps like him that make it difficult on the refs and the rest of the league to be sure what is and what isn't a terrible hit. What a piece of sh*t. He sure had no problem going out and playing his next shift and the rest of the game eh. And once again. Tell me, where were all you clowns when Malkin AND Kennedy dropped BLATANT elbows on Grossman and ACTUALLY concussed him? Ah yes, Malkin lovers. Get a brain man. If that's a suspension then both Malkin and Kennedy should have been given 5 games. If anything Giroux should receive the same treatment as other star players, NOTHING or at worst a $2500 fine. THAT'S the way the NHL's disciplinary system works, PERIOD. - 87Flyer Mon, 07 May 2012 07:36:43 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/home-mainmenu-1/24-rambling/4610-may-07-2012#comment-20726 Giroux WILL get a suspension. And that ref was an idiot for not making the calls that lead to Giroux getting pissed off. - Nate Mon, 07 May 2012 06:37:06 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/home-mainmenu-1/24-rambling/4610-may-07-2012#comment-20725 1 game, he has to get that much at this point. Shanny should step down if he gives him $2,500 or less. He was being a big baby because the refs gave Brodeur the call near the trapezoid so he threw a huge temper tantrum and threw an illegal hit, directly to the head. Not as ugly as Weber but he was reacting to something on the ice and the iso-cam of him shows him target Zubrus and attack. look who is unraveling now! #boohooGiroux and yes, i am a bitter Pens fan :) - Guinnies_Moustache Mon, 07 May 2012 06:28:14 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/home-mainmenu-1/24-rambling/4610-may-07-2012#comment-20724 Shanny and the NHL are starting to become a joke. They say they want to eliminate head shots and concussions...but they are unwilling to do what is necessary. If Giroux is not suspended for this...we may just as well get rid of the review on head contact all together. Giroux's ONLY point of contact on Zubrus is the head. On top of that, he was acting in a vigilante type of way as he didn't get his way on a call...so he was going to try and create his own form of justice. Guys are going to continue to get concussions and continue to get hurt until this is removed from the game. The book needs to be thrown at players doing this...regardless of whether their name is Weber or Giroux. - pittshamblyuins Mon, 07 May 2012 05:22:00 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/home-mainmenu-1/24-rambling/4610-may-07-2012#comment-20723 Dobber, do you think expectations on Brown (and others like him) will have to be drawn back if the Kings continue this run and play for another month? I'd like to see some stats on good point producers before a long cup run and their point totals for the season after. Thanks for the ramblings. - shingy Mon, 07 May 2012 03:57:17 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/home-mainmenu-1/24-rambling/4610-may-07-2012#comment-20722 That hit was nothing compared to the Neil hit on Boyle or the Ovechkin hit on Girardi. Shanahan won't suspend the stars and is a huge hypocrite. - Kevin9 Mon, 07 May 2012 00:28:30 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/home-mainmenu-1/24-rambling/4610-may-07-2012#comment-20721 Well if Giroux doesn't get a suspension for that, I will ignore anything the NHL has to say about trying to eliminate head shots. - Shoeless Sun, 06 May 2012 21:41:59 +0100
