Equally Obnoxious Hockey Trash Talk Thread, eh?

It's all good, re-read the thread title, the gloves are on the ice in here.

As long as we aren't fighting with visors on

I'm old school, visors are for *******.

So what is this boards opinion of the Rinaldo suspension? I think he deserved it...left his feet.

 

[thedingo]

Nucks just scrape by. That's 11 from 17 this year taken past regulation with 9 of those decided in the shootout. Luckily Lou and schneids are 2 of the best otherwise they would be nowhere near the top of the league.

So what is this boards opinion of the Rinaldo suspension? I think he deserved it...left his feet.

I don't think suspension worthy considering other plays that went unpenalized. The slew foot on Rinaldo in the Rangers game that was called tripping and was actually a pitch forking...Rinaldo was fined twice last week for a slew foot and something else and when it's done I him, nothing happens.

It's the same old thing with the league, Shanahan or some other clown - inconsistency.

The charge wasn't nearly as blatant or often as Ovechkin, who was considered a repeat offender. I don't think Rinaldo has been suspended by the NHL before and he got one game less than a repeat offender who has been suspended several times (Ovagkin).

I thought it was a penalty, barely, but not a suspendable offense.

I agree. He left his feet, but he didn't look like he was "launching" himself at the head of Ericsson, either. Ericsson turned around to look at the puck and the hit was worse than it should have been.

Disclaimer: I haven't watched video of the hit since I saw it live during the game, just going on memory.

Regardless, it's something Flyers fans have to get used to. Rinaldo is going to get things called on him because of his reputation, even though he hasn't been anywhere near the same kind of player in the NHL that he was in the AHL. He's not a goon, and he's actually got some hockey skills. Not great, but a decent pairing to go along with his physical play and punishing hits. Plus, like I said earlier, he draws as many or MORE penalties than he takes (as of the last time I saw the numbers, anyway, about a month ago...)

Very true. I remember going to a few games when I was younger, most likely between 96-99. Vague memories of the crowd yelling Tool Time or something. I think there was a guy named O'Toole on the team.

Rinaldo video and Shannahan explanation

At the very least a penalty in my opinion... not barely one, as someone said before.

They were doing great, then Toews and Sharpe were out for a bit, now they need to break this losing skid.

I'll check out re video when I get home on a bigger screen, but Shanny has no credibility with me at this point based on his short record of inconsistency.

In convincing fashion no less! To bad they couldn't keep the shutout in tact for MacDonald, but I'll still take it.

First off, he has a really tough job. Secondly, I think he does a good job of at least giving transparency to his decisions by explaining his thought process. Third, you can't make everybody happy and on a lot of plays you just have to make a judgement call.

Irregardless, he's inconsistent and it's irritating. I think there are lots of tough jobs and it's impossible to make everyone happy, but those are excuses when you do a piss poor job and you hand out inconsistent punishment.

 

[Boleslaus]

I think he's gotten 80% of them right.

 

[jtkratzer]

Maybe, depends on the definition of got it right. Yes, he's handed out suspensions to most who deserve it, but also not given out a number that he should have based on those he has dished out. The length I don't always agree with either.
