Homer J Posted April 27, 2006 Author Share Posted April 27, 2006 (edited) A guy I work with is busting on me pretty good today about the Rangers. He goes "what sport do the New York Rangers play, because it sure isn't hockey." Then he says the Rangers coach said take the ice so the Rangers went to the 711 and got a bag of ice... I think I love you, but what am I so afraid of? maybe I work with you and I don't even know it! Edited April 27, 2006 by Homer J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azazello1313 Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 you kill me! A hook is when the blade wrapes around someone and a spear is when the stick is driven straight into someone.. maybe he speared him with a hook 1439874[/snapback] no, it's not a spear, dude. you need to watch slapshot again. spear happen when the guy take the stick, you know, and he go like that to the udder guy. i put my arm up, the game stop, then start up.

Hugh-mongus Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 From the NHL's web site: Hooking: A tugging motion with both arms, as if pulling something toward the stomach Spearing: shall mean stabbing an opponent with the point of the stick blade whether contact is made or not. 1439934[/snapback] Thanks for proving it was not spearing. There was no forward stabbing motion with the stick on that play. It was an upward swing of the stick where the blade must have caught him in a vulnerable spot in his mid-section.

Bier Meister Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 let's not turn this into a rehash on the tuck-rule discussion 1440001[/snapback] has a spear been called within the past 20 years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Cherni Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 (edited) has a spear been called within the past 20 years 1440004[/snapback] Heck yeah it has. The only reason why they're few and far between is b/c players know they're going to get called if they try and pull it. It's a dirty move. EDIT: March 21st of this year. Pittsburgh's Eric Cairns was assessed five penalties totaling 40 minutes -- including a double game misconduct -- at the end of the second period. Cairns, who got a major for spearing Zdeno Chara, was also assessed a fighting major and a misconduct. Chara was given a fighting major and a misconduct. "I got speared twice, so that's why I reacted like I reacted," Chara said. Edited April 27, 2006 by Cherni Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avernus Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 oh, and this is for Brewer....ESPN NEWS showed highlights for the game and mentioned how the Flyers fans boo'd .... when Umberger was laid out...they put that hit in a top 10.. of course the hit was clean and had shock and awe lol...but he couldn't get up for 2 minutes and blood poured out his nose...also he had to be helped off...that's not exactly something you glorify...

I felt bad for Umberger, but this is hockey. Keep your head up. The hit was clean. As I mentioned before, those kind of hits send a message, look at what Scott Stevens did for years. Intimidation, it's a HUGH part of hockey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
