Foligno's Nose Posted January 4, 2009 Report Posted January 4, 2009 Staal looks like he was covering up after losing his footing. He still got way more swings in than any Peters fight. And WTF, Semin does his work with goals, assists, etc... Did he get the game-misconduct for his jersey coming off?

And WTF, Semin does his work with goals, assists, etc... Did he get the game-misconduct for his jersey coming off? Yeah, he did. Obviously he wasn't planning on fighting but Staal was targeting both Ovechkin and Semin on that shift, so at least he was standing up for himself.
BuffalOhio Posted January 4, 2009 Report Posted January 4, 2009 Max fights better than Semin! Maybe he should be our Goon! Lord knows he can't do anything else right!
deluca67 Posted January 4, 2009 Report Posted January 4, 2009 Yeah, he did. Obviously he wasn't planning on fighting but Stall was targeting both Ovechkin and Semin on that shift, so at least he was standing up for himself. It's always good to see a non-fighter standing up like that. It's means way more than when a Peters drops the gloves.
carpandean Posted January 4, 2009 Author Report Posted January 4, 2009 On a related note, do you think Crosby is getting a little frustrated? <object width="480" height="295"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bQxuLumWjio&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bQxuLumWjio&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="295"></embed></object>

SwampD Posted January 4, 2009 Report Posted January 4, 2009 As ridiculous as Semin's fighting style may be, the NHL is even more so. You're allowed to rain down blow after blow to the head, but if your jersey isn't attached you get ejected. :blink:

It just doesn't make sense and it never will.
LabattBlue Posted January 4, 2009 Report Posted January 4, 2009 While Semin's style is hilarious, at least he is not being paid to be an enforcer and still have a laughable fighting style. The good news is that down the stretch, we will see less and less of Peters.
tulax Posted January 4, 2009 Report Posted January 4, 2009 John Buccigross seems to agree with the consensus that Peters is a terrible fighter Of all of the designated fighters in the NHL, the most boring is Andrew Peters of the Sabres. The worst kind of NHL fight is when a guy throws a punch every eight seconds while keeping his face out of harm's way. The best fights and the most entertaining fighters are the guys who employ the take-one-to-give-one method: Riley Cote, Arron Asham, Milan Lucic, Eric Godard, Eric Boulton, Colton Orr, Dan Carcillo, Jody Shelley and Ian Laperriere, to name a few. (Mr. Peters, please keep in mind that if you challenge me to a fight, I will employ the Monty Python "run away" theory.) Semins fighting style reminded me of the end of "Blazing Saddles" when the tuxedo wearing men doing showtunes are fighting the cast of the movie. "You Brute, You Brute, You Brute"

"You Brute, You Brute, You Brute" I can imagine when Peters is fighting the referee comes up to them and says "you guys are paid to fight not dance around like a bunch of Kansas City f@&&**$"

They came up with the penalty and the strap on the jersey because of the way he would quickly shed his jersey and all his pads so the other guy couldn't get a good hold on him when he fought.
Hawerchuk Posted January 4, 2009 Report Posted January 4, 2009 Semin scores goals, Peters does nothing. Thats the difference.
Crestwood Posted January 4, 2009 Report Posted January 4, 2009 I give Semin credit for using both hands and just going for it. That was a lot more exciting (and probably was more effective in firing up his team) than collar-grabbing, try-not-to-get-hit fights (cough, Peters, cough).

This is a stupid rule coming from a league that prides itself on stupidity. Let both guys take their jerseys off for all I care. IMO, it makes for a more entertaining battle compared to the "let's hold each others jerseys" and eventually have the refs step in.

Haha the mental image of Rob Ray going at at really put a smile on my face right now, thanks! :)

Yeah but coming on the heels of a thread where people want fighting banned due to dangerousness, this would probably not help make it any safer.

RR61 Posted January 5, 2009 Report Posted January 5, 2009 Did the way Semin fought remind anyone of Ralphie's fight in "A Christmas Story"? :lol: xchH3ILk0gk
