Gershwin Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 In UK Hockey News, Premier Sports have agreed a TV deal with the Elite League and they will show one game per week: http://www.premiersp...e-coverage.html In more news, the coverage will be fronted by the excellent Aaron Murphy rather than the ###### that is Dave Simms. It does sound from the PR that 'Simmsy' will be the local flavour though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chester™ Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 (edited) It does sound from the PR that 'Simmsy' will be the local flavour though. So he'll only really get one game then - Sheffield (though I guess we could stretch it to Coventry as well). If they even get him in to do that at all. A different expert each week will be interesting. Cardiff is a nap to be Brent Pope. The rest are up for grabs I suppose. It'll depend on who is around and who can do it I suppose. Its certainly a bonus the choob isnt doing the presenting. Having a someone front a show, when at least 75% of the league cant stand them, was pretty poor. Edited October 29, 2013 by Chester?

Maple Leaf Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Missed the games last night but pleased to see the Leafs and the Hawks won. Got a good feeling about the Leafs this season. The Leafs are off to a good start, thanks to solid goal tending and their attacking forwards. They give up too many shots and have too many turnovers, which are their weaknesses so far. They're in a very tough division, so will have to work hard to make the playoffs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He should be arrested for that. I wouldnt go as far to call for his arrest (I've seen a lot worse than that on a hockey rink), but his actions, as with most of the Flyers during this incident, was disgraceful. I can only assume that the ref was waving players away, that were trying to save Holtby, so that a full on bench clearance or even bigger melee didnt ensue. Shanaban has had his work cut out for him in recent weeks and this will continue with shite like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Burke the other day saying fighting is necessary for guys to keep each other in line. Not sure what you're achieving by slamming head shots on a guy who wants no part of it just because you're mad at being 7-0 down. Lovely to see the Flyers struggling.

In some respects, Burke is correct. For all the no fighting brigade say 'well look at Europe and the Olympics', the amount of sneaky stickwork, slashes against wrists and ankles and various other nefarious practices beggars belief at times. But such shenanigans like last night, no fighting fan would condone. Most like a good scrap, but pish like this we dont. My reaction, way earlier in this thread, to the constant brawling at the end of the 11/12 season, between the Caps and Flyers at Murrayfield, is similar. Have a fight and protect your players but needless fighting because you're getting pumped isnt acceptable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have a fight and protect your players but needless fighting because you're getting pumped isnt acceptable. The real problem I had with last night was Holtby's reluctance. If fighters are going to follow some sort code, as Burke was alluding to, then part of that code should be walking away if a player is brave enough to say he doesn't want to fight. Subsequent fines and suspensions should be increased dramatically for attacking somebody who doesn't want to be there. Also, don't want to sound all Mary Whitehouse but watching that is a horrendous message to give young boys about hockey and people who don't like fighting.

Subsequent fines and suspensions should be increased dramatically for attacking somebody who doesn't want to be there. They should. But as Burke also said, there will always be players who break the code and they need to be dealt with accordingly. Emery broke the code. Goalies (usually) only fight each other when they both decide to go for it (I mind one game v Fife when both goalies got bored so started to pass the puck between themselves ). Rarely does one attack another like Emery did last night. Shanaban needs to deal with him and his coach. Too often they get away with it. I'm not sure if anyone has read the book on The Code, but its a great read: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Code-Unwritten-Rules-Fighting-Retaliation/dp/1572437561/ref=la_B001HORNNA_1_2?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1383393613&sr=1-2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
