Get real and put the crack pipe down.

Gee, you'd think with such a "great victory" in such a "fair fight" as you describe, that Purinton wouldn't have spent the rest of his life running away like a little wuss and turtling every time Cairns got within 10 feet of him on the ice after that. The two video clips speak for themselves, or maybe Purinton is down on the ice doing practice drills for a bombing raid.

Who are you quoting there? Did I say those things? Perhaps your man love for Eric Cairns has gotten the better of you here? I'll tell you what. I'll put my crack pipe down when you put down Eric Cairns' skin pipe. Deal?

Describe to me Purinton sucker punching Cairns from the side again? I'm curious based on the fact that the video you show to support your account of the incident doesn't even show what you're suggesting happened.

Cairns got sucker punched from the side, even though one of his gloves was already laying on the ice, and the other was flying through the air while he got clocked and dropped?

Yeah. Okay.

Yeah. Okay.

Put your preoccupation with male "skin pipes" aside and read your own description. You concede that: "...the other (glove) was flying through the air while he got clocked and dropped." In other words, Cairns hadn't even yet gotten off his gloves by the time Purinton suckered him. Quite right, except that the only gloves "dropped" at the time of the suckerpunch are Purinton's.

Look at 0:05 of the 2nd video. Cairns's face is directed away from Purinton and in the direction of (goalie) Garth Snow when Purinton skates in from Cairns' left side. Cairns is obviously unaware that he's about to get ambushed.

If you go frame by frame from this point, you'll see Cairns raises and points or gestures with his still-gloved right hand as Purinton throws down both of his gloves to the ice at left of Cairns' skates. Both of Cairns' gloves are still on his hands as Purinton throws a right cross to Cairns' face. Purinton has already completed the follow-through on his suckerpunch to the front of Cairns' face, as Cairns' left glove leaves his left hand and just begins to fly through the air (as opposed to dropping to the ground).

What you claim to be Cairns' glove is actually one of Purinton's gloves. Cairns had no idea he was about to get cold-cocked by Purinton, which is exactly how Purinton planned it.

I notice you completely avoided addressing the fact that Purinton utterly refused to scrap with Cairns face-to-face during the many "fair fight" challenges Cairns made to Purinton immediately after the fight and throughout the following game. Instead he ran away and shamelessly turtled.

So I'll put it to you again: If Purinton scored such a "fair" and "dominating" victory over Cairns in Purinton's first ambush, why wasn't Purinton confident he could achieve a similar result at any time afterward? Why, in fact, did Purinton invest all of his manly energy running in terror from Cairns and turtling any time Cairns attempted to challenge him thereafter? Surely such a fair and resounding victory would have given Purinton all the confidence he would have needed to face Cairns like a man, would it not?

*crickets chirping*

Yeah. Exactly.

Im all for 'non code' when it comes to enforcing, sometimes the code gets overdone and when someone deserves a beatdown so be it


What Puriton did was a gutless cowardly prick move, he had SEVERAL opportunities to go with Cairns (several chances) and then pulled that bullshyt, i dont know how you can defend that move, i really cant


It was weaksauce 101

[mikebflorida]

That was awful by Purinton who was always known for being a punk anyway.

If you even give him the benefit of the doubt that he dropped leather faster and got the first shot in, he's still a punk for not giving Cairns a return bout and turtling like a sissy.

How could anyone ever be a fan of that guy? He's a loser, he was his whole career.

*crickets chirping*

Yeah. Exactly.

Crickets chirping? I don't get it? Is that the sound Cairns was hearing while sitting on the ice after being dropped by Purinton?

Nice avatar by the way. I'm sure it has nothing to do your argument here. Ah well. At least you're not as bad as 5 Minute Major was. But I'll still indulge you anyways.

Here you can see Dirty Dale's initial contact with Cairns as he crashes the crease. No "sucker punch from the side" yet.



As you can see, two seconds have now passed. Those things to the right of Cairns and Purinton are Purinton's gloves. Cairns may or may not be looking at Purinton, but either way there has been no "sucker punch from the side" yet.



Moving right along. Here's Eric Cairns waving at you. No, he's actually got his hand up in the air because he's about to throw his glove down. Notice Purinton's gloves still on the ice. Also notice there has been no "sucker punch from the side" yet.



Where will this adventure take us next? So exciting. Well, except maybe for you because you're being proven wrong, but whatever. Here we see Eric Cairns has thrown down the glove to that mighty right hand of his. See his hand is exposed and his glove is falling. See how he also hasn't been "sucker punched from the side" yet?



What's that thing to the right of Cairns' head there? Oh, it's his left glove flying off his hand. Strange because he's still standing. One would think that after being "sucker punched from the side" he'd be on the ice with his glove still on instead of still standing with the glove flying off. Almost kind of makes me think, I don't know, maybe he knew he was in a fight afterall?



And just because, here's Cairns laying on the ice while little birdies are circling his head inbetween Dale Purinton punches.



Sorry man. "Sucker punched from the side?" Not even close. Not every fight starts with a pretty little square off. Cairns knew Purinton was there, and he knew what was coming. Blame Eric Cairns and his glass jaw for that incident.

As far as Purinton not manning up for another fight goes, I agree 100%. Show me the quote where I said differently. Please. Go find it and show it to me. Do I think Purinton owed Cairns a fight for "sucker punching him from the side?" No. He owes him a fight because he's a tough guy and that's his job.

"Sucker punched him from the side?" Your boy got dropped and lost. Give it a rest and quit your whining. You want "sucker punching someone from the side?" Here you go. That's a sucker punch from the side.

DOMI KO's SAMUELLSON

[mikebflorida]

I can't believe you took the time to do all that.

Purinton is still a punk.

[RetardedChimp]

Purinton was one of the last pure goons. Him pulling a Wendel on Cairns wasn't as bad as Isles homers make it out to be, Cairns already had his gloves off when he was hit. Him turtling on the 'rematch' looked bad for sure though. For every 'cheap' incident he had, there were 10 of him straight up fighting the best the league had to offer.

That's the difference between a heavyweight fighter like Purinton crossing the line to make a point, and a pest like Avery. They both provide entertainment and serve a role on their team...but one fights the big dogs night in and night out, the other turns them down.

The NHL could use a few more Purintons right now.

Other than the facts that the clips clearly show that Cairns still had both of his gloves on while Purinton's were both on the ice and that Purinton came in from the side and suckered Cairns in the face before Cairns knew what Purinton was up to, I agree with the gist your post.

See what you want to see, but, like I said, the pictures tell the real story.

You are skipping over the important part. While Purinton dropped his gloves first, Carins gloves were both off his hands before he got hit. Are you denying that?

Cairns' right glove is falling off his right hand and his left glove is flying backwards off his left hand as Purinton's fist is connecting with Cairns' face. What does that tell you? It tells you that Cairns didn't know he was about to be suckered until it was too late to do anything about it.

People have to keep in mind that the frame-by-frame pictures are occurring at approximately 1/30th of a second. In other words, the individual pictures slow the action down and make the scene seem like its occurring over the course of perhaps minutes, but that bit that we're reviewing, from Cairns' looking away in the direction of Garth Snow, to Purinton zooming in from Cairns' left and suckering him in the face before he has time to react or get his gloves completely off, occurred in about two seconds.

Do YOU deny that Cairns is looking away from Purinton at the instant he gets ambushed, or that both of Purinton's gloves are on the ice while Cairns' gloves are both on his hands?

[Tucker_316]

It was a sucker punch. If people on here wanted to call Subban socking Lupul before he could take his helmet off a cheap shot, then this also surely qualifies.

The only thing that was never cheap that Isles fans believe to this day, was Tucker on Peca.

Indeed. And that story is titled, "You're A Cairns Fanboy." Have fun with that.
