Alexei Ponikarovsky vs Shane Hnidy

the officiating in this game stinks..you can obviously see Ponikarovsky trhow punchs at at least 2 players and get no penalty!!!! That also went back to the 1st period when Ponikkarovsky smashed Hnidy from behind into the boards..Once again a potentilay good game was ruined thruout by horrible referees

People who say this is a fight are retarded. Poni did throw punches, at the other player, with gloves on! Hnidy grabbed Poni from behind and threw punches at a guy who has no real fighting intentions. Hnidy is a joke, and so are the bruins as of late. The bruins commentators, once again, are idiots and the bruins have the stupidest fanbase around too. Nice voting homers.
*Edit: Masterofone, you just helped proved that bruin's fans are stupid homers. What other team hasn't won the cup in 35 years and still fills seats?? Umm how about the leafs moron. 40 years and sold out every game since WW2. Wow you must be feeling so stupid right now, its ok though, youre probably one of the smartest people in beantown. But thats like winning a gold medal at the special olympics...yeah you won but youre still retarded. Again, you and your bruins are a joke.

UWO needs to be slapped. Name another team that hasn't won a cup in 35 years and still manages to fill their stands. And yes, Jack Edwards(Ex-ESPN Analyst) and Andy Brickley(New England native, Ex-Bruin) do openly root for the B's. So what? NESN is a New England channel, and therefor only applies to the Bruins, as they are the only hockey team in New England. Stupidest fanbase around? You're a joke my friend.

go pony!

If you give Ponikarovsky a roughing penalty, then you give Sturm a roughing penalty. There's no way that the Leafs somehow should have got an extra two out of that. You're just watching through black and gold glasses. Dirty play by Ponikarovsky for sure, especially considering the score, he deserved everything Hnidy gave to him. Even dirtier slash by Sturm though, if that slash lands any higher he's looking at double-digit games.

Learn how to speak before you comment.

I really didn't like hnidy with the ducks, but at least he sticks up for his teammates! good job shane!

This was not a hockeyfight at all. Hnidy´s fuse snapped and he ended up smacking helpless ponikarovsky. fight demands two participants

Don't two hand someone and expect to skate away, especially when the game is essentially over. Good for Hnidy.

too bad the rest of Hnidy's game isn't as good as his "over the top" shots here.

lmfao i would turtle too if i went out and cheap shot a guy and had him come after me lmfao (or maybe i should, have stood up to my actions just a bit.........)

Hnidy kicked his Ass all over town!

C'mon...this was total crap and Boston's announcers act like it was a beat down...it takes two to fight for one to get beat down.

Poni is a bitch, if you're going to try to be a man and slash somebody , take your medicine. I'm surprised the refs didn't jump Hnidy and throw some punches

hnidy was givin' him the business. easy win
