Around SBN: Raiders' GM Begins The Purge

A Bit of Squid - May 10th

That was a much better game.  They realized it's time to step up and win, and they did it to force another game against the Blackhawks.  Somehow, Roberto Luongo found a way to stand on his head again, and the rest of the team figured out a way to help him.  Also helps when Christian Ehrhoff and Kevin Bieksa both find the back of the net for once (or in Kevin's case, twice last night).  Of course, there were a couple strange injuries, with Shane O`Brien having his forehead torn open twice and Sami Salo.... well, we've heard enough about that injury.  Enough so that there are already a Twitter account, a Facebook page, and a YouTube fan-made "History Will Be Made" video made about it.  Thankfully, the later reports confirmed it's not ruptured, so that's good news.

SOB's forehead

Was the second time you were referring to the facewash by Ladd?

I’m honestly not sure how I feel about that. I think it was bush league by Ladd (and clearly intentional), but I’m not sure if realistically there was anything wrong with it. It’s no more or less an illegal facewash than anything else that happens a million times a game.

Just wondering what the other thoughts were, because I heard an impassioned argument made this morning that Ladd should have been immediately penalized for that…and I tended to think that while it was cruel and bush, it couldn’t be worth of a penalty.

yep

i think it was an accident though. i don’t think ladd realized there were only stitches holding shane together there.

by missy on May 10, 2010 10:39 AM PDT up reply actions  

I thought it was just glue at that point?

And even if it was stitches, does that make a difference?

it was a combination of glue and a few stitches originally I believe… either way, hardly shocked it was Ladd.

Sorry, but I have a huge issue with what Ladd did. They all saw him leave the ice leaking profusely. He went straight for the area affected and you could argue that’s intent to injure. He busts that cut open, SOB has to leave the ice and the Canucks are back down to 4 defensemen again. That’s a massive fail on the part of the officials to not penalize him for this.

Intent to Injure

Interesting, I hadn’t thought of it from that perspective. I do think it was an intentional attempt to reopen the cut, but if SOB was wearing a wrist brace and Ladd hacks him on the wrist, is it called any differently? Should it be?

There is know whining in Hockey. Wasnt one of your guys trying to get “broken clavicle” boy into a fight in game two or three. Its part of hockey to exploit the injured. thats why they dont specifiy an injury in the reports. Only upper body or lower body. That being said, the injury bled like a stuck pig. i was at the game and man did that boy bleed. the amount of red snow cones that could have been made from the shaving was astonishing. I almost, and I stress almost, felt bad for the canucker. And man, the poor dude with the nut injury…Heres to an injury free game 6. Obligatory GO HAWKS.

by jamesbhawk74 on May 10, 2010 11:10 AM PDT up reply actions  

This actually raises an interesting point for me.

When Ladd gave O’ Brien the facewash, I figured that’s exactly what he was doing. But I wasn’t upset about it. I thought, “Figures they’d go after him.”

(However, you could argue that the difference between this and a Canuck trying to aggravate Campbell’s injury is that Vancouver could do so within the rules of the game with a hard check or whatnot, while technically the pushing and shoving shouldn’t be allowed.

But whatever. I’m tired and rambling.)

The point I was trying to make was that I was more upset about Eager trying to chop Ehrhoff’s hands off, because it’s trying to create a new injury rather than taking advantage of an existing one. Did I like the facewashing? No. But I guess I understood that better than Eager trying to goon it up the last minute of the game.

by jwolf0 on May 10, 2010 12:49 PM PDT up reply actions  

exploiting an injury dury the game with a legal hit is different than trying to exploit and injury by a shot to the face after the play has stopped

by nate1606 on May 10, 2010 1:48 PM PDT up reply actions  

Pretty sure trying to pick a fight after the whistle on the other side or the rink with a guy who has a broken clavicle is not “exploiting an injury dury the game”. Not to mention the whole NHL knows campbell is not a fighter nor is he a cheap shot artist. Ill go as far and say he is a P*ssy. But he’s our P*ssy now…So to go after him is sad and pathetic and goony.

Burrows isn’t a fighter either. I think what he did was more trying to intimidate Soupy and it hurt the team (PP goal against).

there is a difference if burrows had just skated by and whacked him on the shoulder then it would be the same

by nate1606 on May 10, 2010 3:00 PM PDT up reply actions  

I know where you are going with this. I posted somewhere else about it. Don’t agree with your angle.

Going after broken clavicle boy is unacceptable? It’s not broken anymore. He’s suited up and ready to go, take hits and play hockey. Otherwise he shouldn’t be on the ice. If we applied this same logic to Salo, it would be an automatic 5 and a game just for skating within 10 feet of him.

Like other players on any team, including yours, don’t try to intimidate or go after players who don’t fight?

Shove it in your addendum.

by kesrows on May 10, 2010 3:12 PM PDT up reply actions  

Agree completely. If a player is dressed, when they should still be rehabbing, they they are fair game for normal play. If they aren’t they should not be dressed. This is good asset management and risk/reward management.

It’s simple: Team A: tries to get an advantage by playing player X who is amazing even when at 90%, but at a 30% chance of aggravating or reopening the injury. Team B: Will try to nullify that advantage by forcing the player to protect the injury, thus reducing the maximum potential of his play, or causing the injury to become aggravated and thus removing the player from the game. That is all weighted against the possible team rewards/costs. the SCF is pretty high on a hockey team’s list of positive outcomes, losing a star player for 9 months due to an aggravated problem, I don’t know.

Luongo embellishes at times. All goalies do it. Niemi did it yesterday when a Canuck skated by his net and barely touched him and he threw himself to the ice like he’d been shot. Hasek, Roy, Brodeur and pretty much every goalie ever has done it. I really don’t see why it’s a big deal.

A No Hitter or maybe a Perfect Game even

No? That’s a different sport? I think it still works as an attempted jinx.

Yeah that’s as likely as Bieksa scoring two goals in a game…..

…. but that already happened, so it must be possible, right?

well, if it’s sarcasm, you need to make it more noticeable, enough so for the most literal people (like myself) can notice.

I hope the Canucks were watching the Habs-Pens game. ANYTHING is possible.

very true

Habs just won game 6 at home, now tying the series and forcing game 7.
canucks can do the exact same tomorrow night.

hopefully GM Place is that hoppin too. Those Habs fans really juiced their team

in fact, i checked his profile a while ago, turns out he signed up on SBNation today, and he’s been trolling on here all day. unfortunately, we’ve all been falling for it by feeding him without noticing….

i am trolling but only out of nervousness. I have been coming to SB for a couple years but never felt the need to sign up or post until now. What fun is it to only chat with other fans of your team. Dont think i have been terrible or disrespectful at all. Sat next a girl with a Vancouver shirt on last night at the UC. She was fun to razz and obviously got the last laugh on us all. Didnt realize you folks were so sensitive.

Keep it coming

I actually enjoy you keen observations

by thegreek on May 10, 2010 7:43 PM PDT up reply actions  

well, we’re just sensitive on certain topics, particularily the ones you chose to talk about.

From what I’ve seen, james has been just fine.

by Sean Zandberg on May 10, 2010 7:55 PM PDT up reply actions  

Agree with Sean, certainly not trolling. Annoying, but that happens every time someone gets comment diarrhea.

If you want to venture into enemy territory then be a man about it. It’s funny that you called the Canucks whiners.

If it’s any consolation, I take back the prison crack. That may have been over the line.

by rsm on May 10, 2010 8:56 PM PDT up reply actions  

well, it’s just the approach he took, i guess.

by missy on May 10, 2010 9:51 PM PDT up reply actions  

Noob vs. Troll

His approach was that of someone who hasn’t really argued these points before, not someone who was trolling. Sometimes hard to tell the difference when you look at profiles, rather than read and respond, consider responses etc. It is a bad, bad habit.

If you want to discuss that bit further drop me a note at the e-mail address listed in my profile.

by rsm on May 10, 2010 11:48 PM PDT up reply actions  

i have been considering all that. it’s just that i’ve been on edge lately about all the trolls i have seen coming on here.

Yeah cuz Bieksa is so yappy…sooooo yappy…

Bieksa

I wish he was more consistent, it would be nice if he played like he did in game 5 all the time. I like how Cherry highlighted his play on Coach’s corner tonight. Bieksa giving it to Hossa a bit after the 3rd goal made me laugh. That’s how you celebrate a goal in the other teams barn, maybe big fat Buffy will take note.

by thegreek on May 10, 2010 7:41 PM PDT reply actions  

Buffy knows only one way to celebrate, KFC double downs.

We like bread on our sandwiches. Less deadly.

I first saw the Double Down on thisiswhyyourefat.com.

How bout those Hawks packing their bags for San Jose!?

Did you all hear about this? They are bringing their bags with them, I guess cause they only have one plane in Chicago. God forbid they leave it behind, how would it ever get to San Jose? First Toews says he’ll be glad when the series is over after game 4, now this. It stinks of over looking the next game. Hopefully.

We’re rooting for you Nuckleheads down here in San Jose. We want you guys to take it in 7 so everyone on the planet gets to watch that cup-chasing b**ch Hossa cry on international television.
