Hockey Haiku (Page 2)

I'll chime in... I have zero interest in hockey (or football or baseball) but "Hockey Haiku" is a damn good/funny thread title. Reminds me of our absent JustJester... *sniff sniff*

Please continue.

Don't you love double posts!!

Gotta throw my hat in...

First off, I don't think Moore made a run at Naslund.  Moore was going in for a legitimate, open-ice check on Naslund.  Naslund, in trying to stop, starts falling backwards.  Moore, who doesn't change course, hits Naslund.  Naslund continues falling, hits head on ice.  I don't think Moore had any malicious intentions.  Hockey is a damn fast game, especially at that level.  So to say that all of that could have been intentional on Moore's part is bullsh*t!  His intentions were to make a check - end of story!  So back to that night - yes Brad May said some stuff in the heat of the moment IMMEDIATELY after game in which it happened when emotions and adrenaline were all still running high.  Things were said that got played out and played out and played out in the media.  Frankly the thing that pissed me off more than anything is that it became a BIGGER deal because it was MARKUS NASLUND - oooooooohhhhh.  So what?!?!?  He's no different than Joe Fourth-line who puts his skates and sweater on just the same as Naslund.  I don't care if you're a superstar or not, suit up and play the f**kin' game.  Did the Canucks feel they wanted retribution on Moore because of what they FELT was a cheap shot?  You bet your bippie!  So would I.  Did it play much much worse than was intended?  Abso-f**kin'-lutely!!  It was a series of unforeseen and even more unfortunate events that took place that night at GM Place, but I don't think the results of what transpired were ANYBODY'S intention - even Bertuzzi's.  I think Bertuzzi is truly sorry for what happened.  I think Brad May is too.  Hell, I'm even thinking about buying a Brad May jersey, just to show that I support him as one of our players.Yeah, I'm an Avs fan, and I'm over the whole thing and moving on.  Just glad that hockey is being played this year.

Kupe, all fired up!

I haven't seen that kind of passion on these boards in ...oh, 30 min

Nice to see another hockey fan here. Looks like all we need is a Redwings fan (present) and we will have one hell of a great season.
