Seriously Mario? This would hold more weight if he called out certain players on the pens (cooke) for thier cheapshots. But I guess it's ok until someone does it to you. |

Mario is way out of line. I guess Ulf Samuelsson, Kevin Stevens, and Rick Tocchet never did anything like that protecting his ass, right? Jackass... Just looked at the Pens first Cup team's roster. There's a player named Jay Caufield on their roster, you ever hear of him? If you haven't it's because he scored 0 goals and 0 assists on that team for the season. He did rack up 175 mins in penalties. I'm sure he was really out there because he could play the game. |

Matt Cooke? Where was Mario when Cooke slams opponents' heads into the glass. He's a phony like the rest of the them. |

Bring back...PRIDE OF THE ISLAND

why can't garth speak out like that? sure he said stuff like he liked the way the team played, they were ready for the game..it was 6-0 before that stuff happened..and I believe the first fight was actually bet godard and gillies..with godard initating it..and the score was 3-0?? don't remember much.. have to get this one out...talbot upset about martin hitting from behind, more like a slap..but he is saying he's a guy that would go toe to toe,and not back down..I'm sorry but, I didn't know turtling was a new form of fighting a man.. I can't wait for the rematch...might even go for that one..round 2 ding.. |

http://sports.espn.go.com/new-york/nhl/news/story?id=6118511 Mario's statement. What a puss...
I look forward to the stern lecture Matt Cooke will receive from Mario when he returns from his suspension. And I'm sure Mario has told him, "next time you pull a stunt like that, I'm releasing you." Does Mario realize that if he walks away from the game...AGAIN...no one outside of Pittsburgh will care? He's apparently still pissed at Kasper for slapping him around in 93 |

Fu@k you "Lockout" Bettman!!

http://www.nhl.com/ice/page.htm?id=26481 Any team that has a player penalized for being the first or second player to leave the players’ or penalty bench during an altercation or for the purpose of starting an altercation, shall be fined ten thousand dollars ($10,000) for the first instance. This fine shall be increased by five thousand dollars ($5,000) for each subsequent occurrence over the next following three-year period. So "colon"(the part of the large intestine that extends from the cecum to the rectum) why weren't the pittsburg pussies fined the 10 grand for godard leaving the bench. Just wondering

LOL...are they kidding? Of course Pens fans will come for the rematch...who the fff wants to stay in Pitt? Seriously I constantly meet people who USED to live in Pittsburgh but now live somplace else. I never meet anyone FROM Pitt who is "just visiting". Pittsburgh is the most sanctimonious fan base ever. They constantly go on about how their Steelers and Pens are somehow "more moral" and just better people, better owners, better fans than anywhere else...but just 4 years ago that franchise was in danger of being in KC. If Sid doesn't lace them up again due to the concussions, that fanbase disappears again within a year. They cry about their players getting suckered when Cooke ended Bergeron's career and Samuelsson ended CAm Neeley's with a knee on knee. Spare me Pitt. Go cheer for your rapist QB you wanted gone in August you frauds. |

Mario had McSorley and Tochett (2 of the dirtiest players ever) to protect his butt and employs Cooke now and he talks? Hypocrite. If Pitt didn't tank to get Mario and Crosby/Malkin they're the Islanders.... without the dynasty, Nobody went to games in Pitt or cared before the tanking. Tanks a lot. |

No I in team, but there is an "m,e".

http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/11046/1125467-87.stm Ron Cook can be a real D-bag as well. Lemieux believes the NHL should have been tougher with its penalties. He understood that Penguins enforcer Eric Godard had to be suspended for 10 games because he left the bench to rush to Johnson's defense when Haley attacked him. But it troubled him that Gillies got a lesser suspension -- nine games -- for the incident with Tangradi. It infuriated him that Martin was given four games for his assault on Talbot, which brought back sad memories of a similar blind-side punch thrown by Vancouver's Todd Bertuzzi at Colorado's Steve Moore in 2004 which left Moore with a broken neck after he fell to the ice. Talbot was luckier than Moore because he saw Martin coming at the last second." Really?? Martin's hit similar to Todd Bitchtuzzi?? Talk about seeing life through black and gold eyes. (and I don't care for him, being a Steelers fan). Write this dick and tell'em to open his frick'n eyes and get a clue. |

Another one for thought. http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/11046/1125486-61.stm "Although other team owners have been fined by NHL commissioner Gary Bettman for criticizing the league, indications were strong Monday that would not be the case for Lemieux." SHOCK AND SUPRISE!!! :rolleyes: |

Speaking of the double standard. Here is the NHL's darling, Sid the Kid getting no fine or suspension for his actions in this attached video. If you ask me, Crosby's actions in this video are much worse then what Martin or Gillies did. Crosby the class act |

don't know if this was mentioned but on espn Barry Melrose ALSO stuck up for the Islanders. Barry was on with Matt Barnaby (x-pen X Rag) and Barry said: you can not make any comparison to what Bertuzzi did to Moore and what Matt Martin did to Talbot first time offenders Gillies & Martin where dealt harshly by the NHL and the fact that the Penguins where laughing at the Islanders as Blake Comeau and DiPietro where knocked out previous game and the non call non suspension of Talbot's hit on Comeau Thank you Mr Melrose! it was espn.com "the rant" |

Hi there! As this is my first post I will keep it short. (Been an avid fan since the 70's btw) I have been reading the posts on this subject since 5 minutes after the game and have noticed that nobody seems to have noticed the blatant elbow thrown at Matt Moulson immediately following his first goal in the second period. This elbow was directed at his head with intent. The guilty party would be none other than Eric Godard. This actually is the most upsetting to me as Colon said ,"hits directed at the head with intent to injure" being the key reasons for both Martin's and Gillies's suspensions, when Godard clearly is guilty of the same. I had a lot of other things to say but i would just be repeating a ton of things that have already been posted. Thanks for reading. Sorry for the tardiness of this post, registration just completed.

Welcome SniperGod. Sorry for the delay, I was out of town for a couple of days. You're right, I read very little regarding the elbow. I guess when you don't go down in a crumpled mess, and score a goal at the same time, it doesn't seem as serious, even though it was completely intentional on Godard's part. And regardless if it injures a player or not, the intent was there. |

http://hockeyindependent.com/blog/theviewfrom111/31336/ i totally agree with this. this brawl should be blamed on the nhl & "colon" campbell because it is the nhl front office that is inconsistent. imo campbell should be fired he is not capable of doing his current job. |

Haven't had time to read threads or the web but did anybody hear that Wang didn't want to pay the $100K fine? A friend told me they saw that on the local news but I haven't heard a thing. |
