Taro T Posted April 22, 2009 Report Posted April 22, 2009 Sorry no video, I'm sure someone'll post it soon, but Brad Stuart absolutely LEVELED RJ. (The link below should work.) Brad Stuart layed a MASSIVE hip check on him as Umberger was skating up ice near his own blueline and had no idea the hit was coming. (Gee, where have I seen that one before.) He came back into the game and scored a goal, but this guy has to learn to see what's going on around him or he'll get killed one of these days. EDIT:
matter2003 Posted April 22, 2009 Report Posted April 22, 2009 Yeah, he got smoked again... here is a link to the NHL videos...choose the RedWings/BlueJackets highlights NHL Highlights
Buffalo Wings Posted April 22, 2009 Report Posted April 22, 2009 You'd think RJ would have learned his lesson (to keep his head up) after the Campbell incident.
cgang Posted April 22, 2009 Report Posted April 22, 2009 I kind of feel bad for the guy- he has to keep his head up. Comparing Soupy's hit against this one, I vote for Soupy's: Ah, the memories of Sabres playoffs and teams gone by (or bye) ...
Stoner Posted April 22, 2009 Report Posted April 22, 2009 You wonder about the cumulative effect of head injuries. If you've had one, are you more likely to have another because your judgment is impaired, if just a little bit.
That Aud Smell Posted April 22, 2009 Report Posted April 22, 2009 pardon the homerism of the buckeye announcers (the color guy suggests that there should be a penalty - under the current rules: why?). but, j. cripes - the guy peeked up ice not once but twice - yet still put himself in a very vulnerable position. <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FhRU8fAb1lU&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=FhRU8fAb1lU&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>

None other than Danny Gare.
That Aud Smell Posted April 22, 2009 Report Posted April 22, 2009 None other than Danny Gare. Ahhh, good call. :worthy: EDIT: listening again, i apologize to danny gare: he actually expresses skepticism about any call for a penalty and goes on to opine that umberger didn't act quickly enough to defend himself.

The homerism of the announcers or the homerism of the poster? Alex, what are things that make you go hmmmmmmm? :P

Alex, what are things that make you go hmmmmmmm? :P :lol: ;) (but, seriously, i thought at first he'd called for a penalty, but he pretty clearly wasn't -- in fact, on a third listen just now, i think i can sense some admiration for the sheer violence of the play from old #18.)
