  You have to remember that Seguin plays for an organization that does not take pride in taking dives and embellishing hits. He took a stick to the ribs, but below his shoulder pads. The kidney pads on his pants may have helped a bit but still the stick broke on a low hit. I'm just surprised he was able to come back. I really doubt any embellishment was needed. Kessel? Ask Brian Burke what he thinks of *that* trade. Henry Case
• Comment on Enjoy Night 1 of Second Season?
  What was your biggest surprise of the 2011-2012 season (so far)? Personally, I'm stunned with the way the Leafs' season turned out. Burke has a proven track record of putting together excellent teams. I figured that he would finally have something to show this year. Did weak goal tending do him in? hdcase
• Comment on Pacioretty suspended three games
  I can see your point, I hadn't seen the Malone on Campoli hit. It's really splitting hairs but I think Shanahan thinking goes like this, we're talking about the NHL here, people are going to get hit and hit hard. It wouldn't be hockey without the physical contact. The Malone hit on Campoli hit is similar to the hit Patrice Bergeron took, they put themselves into a dangerous position. I'm not saying it was Camploi or Bergeron's fault that they got hurt, I'm saying it's a mitigating factor when you're talking about punishment. hdcase

  Nice way to avoid the subject. So, no one wants to leap up and defend Scott Gomez's cheap shot? You have to admit it was far more dangerous than Chara's push to Pacioretty. Well, if you know anything about hockey and aren't a hysterical Canadian. And yes, I have started to lump all Canadians into one large amorphous lump of poor sports and hypocritical whiners. hdcase

  Canadian fans are *so* concerned about illegal hits, I'm just surprised that no one from Canada has ever mention Scott Gomez's hit on Chris Kelly in last year's Stanley Cup playoffs. He shoved him from behind after the play was over and Chris smashed his face into the net, breaking bones in his face. Now that was a dangerous play, the sort of action that should have resulted in a suspension. Where were the Canadian fans then? Hypocrites. hdcase
• Comment on Bummer ... on many levels
  I was wondering if all Canadians have paranoid delusions of vast conspiracies or is it just hockey fans? Is this a common thread in your day to day life? I feel sorry for you saps. I came here to get another viewpoint on hockey and mostly what I read are contradictory ramblings about conspiracies to deprive Montreal of a Stanley Cup. hdcase

  One of the larger Canucks? Alex Burrows may try to sneak up on someone, bite them and then try to hide somewhere. That's the only physical damage the Canucks can do. hdcase
