The rule has been become clear over the past few years (even if it's still an awful rule), and there's no way they would hand Evgeni Malkin a suspension for this. He's clearly not out there to start a fight.

Please never come out of the woodworks and post again, this is the Stanley Cup Finals of course you're going to play your best players at the end of the game get real buddy... the posts seem to get dumber and dumber as the series progresses.

Seriously, i realize i've been a homer quite a bit this post season.

but some of you wing fans that randomly came outta the wood work need to shut hte **** up.

Osgood is a diving, cheap-shott'ing bitch. Yet again this game he clips a guy with his butt-end. And yet again he goes down like he has been shot after barely getting touched.

We can talk about it

-Chris Osgood last year on talking things out instead of fighting after he butt-ends Ribeiro to the face

[Viper207]

Okay, I'm a fair-minded fan... Apparently Osgood has 9 lives because he gets tapped and "dies" once a series. I want my goaltender's first thought to be "how can I stop the puck?", not "how can I draw a penalty in the last minute?"

Seriously, stand up and stone them muhfuhckas. Quit flopping like you got shived like a prisoner on OZ.

I didn't have as big of an issue with this game as I have had in other games when the Wings had the game totally in control and Babcock let his top players out there way longer than he should have. They took heavy abuse because of it.
Also, don't tell me when I should or shouldn't post, I'll post when I want to.

Your own post proves your point "buddy"

[bobberino]

[jacketsfan11]

He had the puck pinned between the arm and body and was holding on waiting for the whistle. You see goalies fall over all the time just trying to hold still let alone with traffing/sticks in front. Add in Talbot's spear and he's going down. That wasn't a little slap or a poke, he speared Osgood and quite literally pushed him over.

Thats a spear to you? Watching that pussified product of yours on ice has really gotten to you.

What else could it be? A crosscheck? A hook? He jabbed the toe of his blade into Osgood. That's a spear.

For ****'s sake... I guess clamoring for ol' time hockey has really gotten to some of you guys as well. Nary a shred of rational thought left.

[Viper207]

05-10-2008: Osgood gets a tiny slash by Mike Ribeiro and falls down like someone severed his achilles tendon. He got up just fine, finished that series, and lifted the Stanley Cup. You cannot deny that one was a dive, as was this one. Like I said, he does it at least once a series.

well I think the new NHL style has gotten to you a little too much. Talbot barely taps him with his stick and you guys want to crucify him for "spearing" Osgood. F-ck Gary Bettman is doing a good job. Now he has members of a fight site turning into Red Wings themselves

When? Anaheim game 6 or something? If you're defending a lead you put out your best defensive players... period... at least that's what winning teams do.

I wasn't demanding anything from you, I politely asked that you never posted (ridiculous things) again.
