I think it's too soon to evaluate who got the worst of it. Let's see if Myers is available today.
Samson's Flow Posted April 21, 2011 Report Posted April 21, 2011 Intentional blindside shoulder or not? Carter seemed to get the worst of it with a bum leg. When I first saw it I thought Myers was knocked senseless. He took the shoulder pad right to the chin and dropped his stick and spun to the ice like he was knocked cold. Hope i'm wrong :unsure:
spndnchz Posted April 21, 2011 Author Report Posted April 21, 2011 I thought they actually knocked heads. At the game I thought he caught a stick in the helmet but looking at the vid it's clear Carter's shoulder clipped him in the chin.
shrader Posted April 21, 2011 Report Posted April 21, 2011 At the game I thought he caught a stick in the helmet but looking at the vid it's clear Carter's shoulder clipped him in the chin. And did Carter ever come back? It's crazy how that worked out.
apuszczalowski Posted April 21, 2011 Report Posted April 21, 2011 Looking at the video, I would say no, it looked more like neither were really looking at each other and just ran into one another. But seeing as how Carter is a Flyer, yeah i would say it was probably an intentional cheap shot, classic goon hockey
james duncan Posted April 21, 2011 Report Posted April 21, 2011 And did Carter ever come back? It's crazy how that worked out. Carter did not come back--Philly announcers said in the post-game that he was iffy but felt that it boded well for his return in game 5. As much as I hate the Flyers, IMO, it was incidental contact--I don't think either anticipated where the other was going. If Carter were going for a cheap shot, he would not have exposed his knee. I've not heard anything on either since then.

SpikeGelato Posted April 21, 2011 Report Posted April 21, 2011 Does no one else see Myers' knee get bent backwards??
SwampD Posted April 21, 2011 Report Posted April 21, 2011 I said in the GDT that I thought it was intentional. After seeing that, I still do. Karma's a beotch.
nobody Posted April 21, 2011 Report Posted April 21, 2011 Does no one else see Myers' knee get bent backwards?? That's what i saw yesterday and still see - knee (Carter's front) on knee (Myer's side) hit
OverPowerYou Posted April 21, 2011 Report Posted April 21, 2011 IIRC, Myers returned to the game and Carter did not. Take it for what it's worth.
Taro T Posted April 21, 2011 Report Posted April 21, 2011 IIRC, Myers returned to the game and Carter did not. Take it for what it's worth. When I saw the hit, I expected it to be the other way round. Thankfully Myers is still young. Taking that same shot to his knee at 30 and he's out 4 months.
Cereal Posted April 22, 2011 Report Posted April 22, 2011 Does anyone know if Myers skated today? Bump! Maybe I missed it, but did he skate today? And while we're at it, how about Shakira?
Weave Posted April 22, 2011 Report Posted April 22, 2011 Bump! Maybe I missed it, but did he skate today? And while we're at it, how about Shakira? Optional skate today. WGR didn't mention who was and wasn't on the ice.
donteatyellowsnow Posted April 22, 2011 Report Posted April 22, 2011 I don't think Carter intended to do that, but as the play happened I think he said to himself i'm going to get a piece of Myers and if his head hits my shoulder oh well.
spndnchz Posted April 22, 2011 Author Report Posted April 22, 2011 Bump! Maybe I missed it, but did he skate today? And while we're at it, how about Shakira? Myers didn't skate. hardly anyone did. He did give an interview and seemed fine.
carpandean Posted April 22, 2011 Report Posted April 22, 2011 I read some of the comments on TSN after the game, which were mostly Flyers fans complaining about the officiating. One guy said something like "and will the league look at Myers' blatant kneeing of Carter?" As I read, I did a :blink:

He just knew that Carter would be there at that very moment, so he didn't even need to look.
nobody Posted April 22, 2011 Report Posted April 22, 2011 Didn't you know that Myer's wears his knee pads on backwards for this very reason. :)
