I know the news has already in a couple of different threads here today, but I thought I'd throw up a quick note to consolidate any further discussion. Philadelphia's Daniel Briere was suspended for two games by the league for the above hit on Scott Hannan (thanks for the screen grab, Smoky201!). Briere will miss tomorrow night's game against the Islanders and Friday's game against the Sabres.
For what it's worth, I think 2 games is just about right. Lots have people have talked about how he left his feet and all, but frankly I think that aspect of hitting gets overplayed a bit. To me, whether he left his feet or not, that's a dirty hit; it was a cross check, it was up high and it was after the play was over.Enjoy the little R&R, Danny Boy. Next time, I hope you find a better way to take out your frustrations.

I thought Joe said he’d take out his Banhammer?

I’ve never posted a “First!” before. So this is actually hilarious…

i would watch the self proclamations of kingdom around here…savage is not too keen on having his domination put into question.

maybe he needs to show up a little more than, I think Joe has been around more than Savage.

A response for the troll? I think it is funny. Mike may have a coronary.
And with the 32nd pick in the 2009 NHL draft, the Red Wings select: Someone other than Ryan O'Reilly. LOL@Detoilet.

In his defense it’s been a rough week for him. Big deadline at the office resulted in 2 hours sleep Monday night. He should be better today though.

Poor Brierepatch
Maybe a better way to vent frustration is kicking Ray Emery in the face so he can’t play and your front office is forced to trade for a real goalie. Or make dirty hits on our defensemen.
As an aside, is there a chart anywhere about which team has injured opposing players the most over the past couple of years. It must be the Flyers. It seems like every week they are involved in the opposing team getting injured. Could anyone find that? Cough…Joe…cough.

Emery’s actually been pretty good this yera, must have really hated Russia. Atleast the Flyers trainers won’t make him wear a hat on the bench
The Savage has spoken. Let it be done

did anyone else...
hear Haynes call Briere “Danielle Briere” after one of his goals? My wife and I were laughing pretty hard.

Probably too much to ask for him to adopt LRG for tomorrow’s pregame.

Facebook quote of the day
This suspension is BULLSHIT!!!!! claude giroux got hit the same way and the sharh who hit him got NOTHING!! the ONLY reason why Briere got suspended is because he wears hockeys true colors! THE ORANGE AND BLACK!!!

I keep hearing...
about this hit on Giroux. Does anybody without orange and black homer goggles on actually know what hit they’re talking about?

That reminds me of Can vs Rus cheap shot on Giroux. Ugly.

2 games is about right, even tho I was fully ready to begin the stoning on the other poll. I think that it was the fact that the whistle was already blown 2 seconds beforehand.. thats not enough time to change direction, but it would have been enough time to lower your hands and not jump a bit. Some hits are inevitable due to momentum. I cant really imagine this one was.
Thanks Joe...

OK, so you gotta give Briere some props for this:
Briere: "I respect the decision. I’ll live with it, and try to move on after the two-game suspension."
I like the fact that he says “respect” rather than “accept.” I think it shows some class on his part and recognition that it was not a good hit.

Someone have a clip of this?
I missed it somehow. And I don’t have a strong opinion on Briere. I like BUF and Philly and never had a big problem with him.
So all I have to offer is this clip of Danny Boy in Daniel Briere: Forever Young.

Glad to hear it
BTW, I’m Jibbling posts left and right now that I’m posting more. I kinda doubt more practice will help, so … enjoy?

Righty-o, thanks!. Usually they cut out all the violence and controversy, so I figured I’d need an obscure YouTube link.

The suspension works
but this crap has gotta start being called in the game
I should never be taken seriously.... Seriously!
