SwampD Posted February 3, 2011 Report Posted February 3, 2011 Clean punch, and he held him falling on the way down before he covered. Can't fault Johnson for that. and he stopped.
Stoner Posted February 3, 2011 Report Posted February 3, 2011 It was a clean fight; the only person embarrassed is Di Pietro. :D Clean is in the eye of the beholder. Actually clean is whatever is in the rule book. If the NHL allowed the throwing of salt in eyes, you'd say it was clean. I just have this mental image of two NFL punters going to midfield, taking off their helmets and swinging while everyone watched. Wouldn't be embarrassing?

If the NHL allowed the throwing of salt in eyes, you'd say it was clean. Nope. I don't think clean is in the rulebook. Clean: sticks down, gloves off, both willing, both square, no low blows, no punches thrown on the ice, listen to the linesmen. Clean.
Eleven Posted February 4, 2011 Report Posted February 4, 2011 Clean punch, and he held him falling on the way down before he covered. Can't fault Johnson for that. I keep watching it, and I cannot see Johnson's fist hit DP's head. By the way, this does NOT mean I think it was dirty; far from it. I think that Johnson missed with the punch and connected with the forearm behind the punch. Am I that off? Maybe I need it slowed down to a frame-by-frame or something.

(what a geek I am :) ) The elbow stops well short. I loved DiPieto's quote after the game. "Fights happen. He's got long arms." :lol:
spndnchz Posted February 4, 2011 Report Posted February 4, 2011 Just in: DiPietro will be out 4-6 weeks with facial fractures and knee swelling. At least he has 10 more years on his contract to heal up. :bag:

darksabre Posted February 4, 2011 Report Posted February 4, 2011 That was a dream shot by Johnson. There's a dirty joke in here somewhere.

bunomatic Posted February 5, 2011 Report Posted February 5, 2011 It was as clean as a fight can be and over quickly. That was a good shot (no elbow) and its really too bad Dipietro didn't know he was a lefty. Wiped the smile off his face real quick.

bunomatic Posted February 5, 2011 Report Posted February 5, 2011 Johnson's not a lefty. As per pgh media. Thats funny. They said he was on the T.S.N. highlights but what do they know? He sure looked like he was but maybe he can change it up on the fly.
Weave Posted February 5, 2011 Report Posted February 5, 2011 Seriously I know I am not Carnak but I called this shiat. LOL And like I said afterward, you could've randomly said that on any given night and had decent odds you'd be correct. DiPietro = fine china.
SwampD Posted February 5, 2011 Report Posted February 5, 2011 Seriously I know I am not Carnak but I called this shiat. I called it first.
Supersabre Posted February 7, 2011 Report Posted February 7, 2011 FWIW It looked like a clean fight to me. :thumbsup:
