not dumb at all. people ask that a lot actually. it's more like a strategy, setup, and style of play type of deal. kinda like soccer. youmight draw up something at the end of the game or during a PP or PK even, but usually it's more about positioning in the offensive zone and defensive zonerather than executing a specific play.

Same question I asked in the game thread...
*Even tho no penalty was called, do you think that Kunitz will be facing a possible suspension for what he did? That #%*$ was blatant...and if you are gonnagive Milan Lucic a game for a cross check, then Kunitz should get the same....
prick

Kunitz's play was very dirty but I don't see him being suspended.......surprised a penalty wasn't called on the play.Originally Posted by DoubleJs07

*Razor w. the FlyersToughest goalie since Hextall in the NHL....(no disrespect to Dan Cloutier or Rick DiPietro)....I would love to see him in a flyers uni....you know he'd be all in if a line brawl broke out....I feel bad for the opposing goalie....
Why shouldn't have Crosby's 3rd goal counted? Was then when Kunitz cross-checked Varlamov? (I just saw the highlights of the last bit of the game sinceI wasn't able to watch it). If the Kunitz thing wasn't when Crosby scored their 3rd goal, then I don't see a problem with it? Maybe I missedsomething though.......

Kunitz cross-checked Varlamov literally seconds before Crosby scored his 3rd goal....
I initially thought that Kunitz wouldn't get a suspension, but seeing the replay I changed my mind. If you're gonna give Lucic one game for a blow tothe head (cross check), then you would have to consider Kunitz sitting as well.

Should've been a penalty, but I don't know about a suspension... maybe it's because I never see you in many threads about your own team J's,but i used to think you were a much more level-headed, even-steven fan.. you're sounding a little fanboyish in these Caps threads anymore
Not that you shouldn't if they're your team.. i just always held you in a different regard than some others here. You always seemed more objective, butI'm seeing you got a little team colors running through you here might be slanting your views a bit.

[h1]Phoenix Coyotes File for Bankruptcy Court-Approved Sale[/h1]
DEWEY, Ariz.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dewey Ranch Hockey, LLC and its affiliates Arena Management Group, LLC, Coyotes Holdings, LLC and Coyotes Hockey, LLC (collectively "Coyotes"), owner of the National Hockey League (NHL) team the Phoenix Coyotes filed for Chapter 11 reorganization to implement a court-approved sale of the team under the federal bankruptcy code. The filing included a proposed sale of the franchise to PSE Sports & Entertainment, LP, a Delaware limited partnership ("PSE"), which would move the franchise to southern Ontario, Canada.
"Extensive efforts have been undertaken to sell the team, or attract additional investors, who would keep the team in Glendale," said Coyotes' Chief Executive Officer and Managing Member Jerry Moyes.
"Creating a process under the supervision of a judge assures that anyone wishing to purchase the team will have the opportunity to bid. Likewise, the City of Glendale, which has been very cooperative with efforts to keep the team in Glendale, will be able to provide potential buyers assurances of the City's willingness to offer incentives to keep the team as a tenant in the Jobing.com arena, the lease for which is subject to rejection in bankruptcy," Moyes stated. "The process assures that the identities of the new owner and the team's location will be known by June 30, 2009, thus enabling the NHL to include the team in its 2009-10 schedule."
It is anticipated that the judge will hold a hearing within several days to establish a sales procedure, which will include authorizing continuance of the selling activity in an effort to attract higher bids. The PSE price is $212.5 million, which provides funds sufficient to pay secured creditors in full (approximately $80 million to SOF Investments, L.P. and $35 million to the NHL) and $97.5 million to unsecured creditors, whereas the owners of the Coyotes would receive nothing for their equity investment, including $206.5 million in preferred and common equity that will not be recovered by Moyes under the current offer.
"As Managing Member of the Coyotes, I have a duty to seek a transaction that will return the most in sale proceeds to the secured and unsecured creditors," Moyes said. "No other proposal to acquire the team provided nearly as much payment to the creditors as that offered by PSE, with the understanding that the procedure is in place for other parties to offer more, particularly if the City of Glendale provides financial incentives to keep the team in Glendale. Overbids must exceed the PSE proposal by $5 million and must be fully funded at closing without a financing contingency."

How is what i said about Kunitz fanboyish? It was bad enough that there is chatter around the league about a possible suspension. It was ablatant head shot, and that is something that Colin Campbell was adamant about cracking down on. If you go back to the game thread(before i saw the replay) Isaid that I wasn't too sure about a suspension. After watching it this morning, there isn't a doubt in my mind that he should get a game. It's nodifferent than what Milan Lucic did to Mike Komisarek. I rep the Caps...I've been a fan for a LONG time....I give credit where credit is due...I'lleven defend Malkin and his play...however, there isn't an athlete in the sporting world that I despise more than Sidney Crosby. He's a dirty, whiny,loser. Talented, yes....but I hate the #*@$ that he does away from the puck. The media has force-fed him to everyone who follows the NHL, but if you are areal fan, you would know the most marketable, charismatic, and BEST player in the league resides in Washington, D.C.Originally Posted by Craftsy21
