I have no idea when hitting the goalie became illegal. It was a cheap shot. It sparked the bruins though, you should be more concerned that not one person came to your goalies defense... That was more pathetic than the hit.

I agree......that's when you do a two hander and put Lucic/Chara in the morgue. An elbow to Bergeron's head would have done nicely as well.

Do you agree that Lucic should be suspended?

There were THREE Sabres trailing the play, and all three were close enough to get in quick with some payback...Actually, all three should have gang-banged Lucic and let all hell break loose.

After no retaliation by his team mates, Miller himself should of gotten off his ass and went after him himself.

Every player wearing a Bruins jersey on this roster is a scumbag.

Lucic knows the rules. You can't touch goalies at all. You just can't. But this sparks the debate of "if he leaves the crease he should be treated as a skater and take a hit blah blah blah" but that's another story.

My main concern was the team full of pussified wimps who did NOTHING to stand up for their goaltender after he was knocked out. How embarrassing is that to say "do what you want to our players, we won't mind"

Lindy needs to pull up the video of the cheap shot hit on Drury in 2007 when it erupted into a brawl because to quote Lindy "you don't go after our ****ing captain"

Maybe that will remind these guys that you need to grow a set to play in this league and they can't afford to be pushed around by ANYBODY.

I got 2 words for Cam Neely...

Ulf Samuelsson.

Ya know, since you don't think what Lucic did was bad or dirty and all and Miller is faking a concussion, I think what Ulf did to Neely was no big deal and Cam just scapegoated his condition on Ulf hitting him knee to knee.

11-14-2011, 07:19 AM
I understand Ruff lost fights. He lost a lot of them. I watched a lot of those games and remember Ruff and didn't appreciate what kind of a player he was until I got older. I never liked him when I was younger because he would fight a lot and lose a lot. But he would never back down and would always come to the defense of his teammates no matter the cost. Same reason I liked a guy like Mike Hartman and even learned to appreciate Rob Ray. Ray was a good fighter, but not great and would lose when he came up against true heavyweights because he was only about 6' tall. But he would almost always drop the gloves.

Actually, it was one of the reasons that I DIDN'T like Kaleta early on and guys like Barnaby. They would goad people into penalties but not drop the gloves. Not that I want goons, but if you are gonna play that style (and I think Kaleta has some talent) you HAVE to drop the gloves sometimes, which Kaleta has done more often now.

The issue isn't what you said exactly though its your ability to call it a cheap/dirty shot but then claim he shouldn't be suspended for it. The only rationale you've provided for that opinion is that the Sabres are for some reasons faking an injury to one of the best goaltenders in the NHL, or because it sparked the B's to a win.

Neither of which make any sense or provide logic for why he shouldn't be suspended.

So if you believe it was a dirty/cheap shot then why do you not believe it should get him suspended for a couple of games?

Everybody usually sees their own team in a different light. Most here don't think Kaleta is a cheap shot artist. I think he has definitely made some questionable to dirty hits. Don't know about the head butting, didn't watch it.

I can't say their lack of reaction to the hit was their feelings toward Miller, because I have seen that type of reaction so many times before.

I think the Sabres defense has been playing poorly. I think there is a lack of cohesiveness with the defensive pairings. Erhoff has played poorly and I have no idea why Ruff doesn't play the more defensively minded and tougher Weber as opposed to Gragniani, who has played poorly IMO this year.

I could care less about Kaleta but to have the rep that he has now and still not do anything... is pathetic. I think Thornton tried to get him to drop the gloves at least 3x.

It does depend which side of the fence you're on as well. I'd be lieing if I said I didnt jump off the couch when Luc layed him out. And it did fire us up, so I'm still ok with it.

Thornton looked like the a run of the mill goon trying to get anyone to go with him. Kaleta also just got off of a suspension. He runs Thomas in that one play, he is gone for a considerable amount of time. Kaleta picks his spots which is where he has gotten smarter. Like I said, he has some skill, he is not just a goon or a cheap shot artist. A little bit of Avery without the mouth or theatrics. At least not the mouth off the ice.

It goes like this: which side of the concussion issue you're on depends on whether your team is giving or receiving concussions.

Bedard, a few weeks ago when Chara hit a dude who was already engaged with another Bruins player, you defended him talking about all the concussions Boston has had and how Chara has to stand up for his guys.

Now, Lucic takes a run at Miller's head and suddenly it's not a cheap shot? You pointed out that your team has been hurt by 4 or 5 concussions in the last few years- these are the kinds of hits that should bother you because next time it could be Thomas or Savard (again) on the receiving end of the hit.

It's the same thing with Penguins fans defending Matt Cooke for that Savard hit but then *****ing about concussions now that Crosby has had problems with one for over a year.

there are two reasons why i think Lucic should be suspended for the hit on Miller

2. Lucic made no attempt to avoid Miller, and one could argue, went out of his way to actually hit him.

i will side with King on the fact that i think the sabres are playing a game with miller's "concussion".

The sabres are in trouble though. Miller should have been tested via the new rules and should have been out on the hit. His helmet came flying off.

I don't think they pulled him because of the concussion. they pulled him because he was rattled. and after seguin goes flying into the net and again no response from the team, it was too much to deal with.

I'm not cool with the team just abandoning miller on a ridiculous run with lucic, but they could have manned up and pounded on seguin after his run.

They didn't need to respond with a fight with lucic, but they needed to show they had fight in them. and they were just scared and stupid from that point on.

That is a season defining game and the next one out is how we'll know where this season is going.

I agree the Sabres are spineless. You either have that edge to your game or you don't. Most of the Sabres players do not.
Shanahan made a big mistake by not suspending Lucic. He is a dirty player. He made no attempt to avoid him and even braced himself for intentionally colliding with him. This will set a bad precedence throughout the league.

whats funny,

in shannahan's lil video explanation, he spends more time calling out buffalo, and doing PR damage control for what Ruff/Reiger said about being open season on goalies than he did explaining his ruling.

in the Kaleta video he has slo-motion replays as he detailed the play.

watch the Lucic hit, even at normal speed, he pelted miller, threw him back and followed through with both hands up, basically cross checking miller across the side of his neck, breaking his helmet as well.

looking at his feet, there was no effort to stop, slow or even vere away from miller, in fact, his left foot turns into miller.

Im not even going into what I believe Lucic said to miller immediately after the hit, and when he was being escorted to the box.

But, what ****ing video was shanahan watching?

then a smack to Shanahan's face, 2 nites later, cole just goes right through enroth's crease and trips him.

chernobylwraiths

Enroth sort of initiated that hit though. He was fairly deep in his crease. I bet he had seen Montreal buzzing the crease like that all night and decided in the overtime to draw the penalty. If you watch it closely, he definitely moves further out in his crease as Cole comes toward him. Totally legitimate play too as that blue paint is all his.

Kerry Fraser who has been no favorite of Buffalo fans says:

I believe [Shanahan] really missed this call and has sent the wrong message. Like it or not, goalies enjoy preferred treatment similar to endangered species in the wild; at least up until this latest decision. It would now appear they are subjected to the same rules as any other player once they leave the “protection of their nest!” Lindy Ruff has every right to call foul on this non suspension. Milan Lucic should have been suspended for the next two (2) games.

"I don't know for certain what it was. I took a good impact. It definitely felt that way. I had some symptoms in my neck and I had to wait and let that settle down."

… "I feel good symptom wise. It was more neck and something where I aggravated a disc in my neck pretty good and we had an MRI and CT-scan showing that which kind of backed that up and was the source of a lot of the tension and a lot of the discomfort. It definitely was limiting my range of motion."

Yeah, because neck injuries that limit range of motion are so much safer.... I mean, it's not like there are any vertebrae in the neck or anything.

He said the word concussion to get Luc suspended. I said he didnt show any signs of a concussion after the play.

Either that, or he really thought Miller had a concussion at the time. A neck injury can be just as serious, or even worse as it can cause paralysis.

Also, it obviously didn't work.

Actually, it was Boston's medical staff that suspected a concussion.

And once one doctor diagnoses a concussion, you automatically have to go through the post concussion tests.

Boston's trainer mis-diagnosed the neck injury as a concussion
(why wouldnt he? big hit, miller was thrown down and about, etc etc, why not be safe and say its a concussion, and give it the standard concussion rules when it comes down to recovery).

Miller himself was still have issues with his neck, which is the only reason he had someone look at his neck and determine his symptoms were Post Concussion but disc/neck related.

There was another article, where they quoted miller saying he's had these neck issues all summer and training camp, the lucic hit made them worse, now that he finally got it checked out and treated he feels a lot better.
