Man I love stirring the nest and watching you guys get all jacked up jumping over each other to get in the mix.
Shawn please re read my posts I never said it was dirty. In fact I repeatedly said it was a clean hit. I am saying it was bush cause I just dont get leveling a guy in a pre season game. We will all continue to argue about this. As I said before and am saying again this is one of the reasons teams sit out star players in preseason. There is no point to the game and why risk a star players injury in an meaningless game.
As I said repeatedly we disagree as to why I think you should not level someone in a preseason game. Especially one against a team in a different confrence who you will not see again.
So when Mitch plays in a showcase against a Canadian team and college scouts are there I should tell him, "hey, back off, don't level anyone you won't see these guys again". RIGHT!

We have all played here so I am not going to go through the list of ways he could have played it differently getting the puck and not laying him out. If he couldnt stop him without laying the shoulder to the head hit then he will be worse then -11 this year. I will just leave this one alone.
It's his job. 
Really? what about when you run someone on the boards from behind? He has the puck and you run his ass over and crush him? Is that not running a guy? I hear everyone else call it running a guy besides it being boarding. I will use my term for running a guy which applies to running over a guy with or without the puck and whether he is in the open ice or on the boards.
Bording is bording. Running is what I explained. Cali girl hockey might be different. (Hence the pink text )
now as jim rome used to say. React to me. I hope no one is upset with me playing devils advocate. If so just let me know and I will stop.
Micah starts minimites tomorrow and I am pretty jacked up about it. Down the road I go to financial ruin Al and I couldnt be happier.
Looks like I wont be playing much anymore now cant afford it.
