Thats what was reported yesterday, but then this tweet came earlier this morning...

 

 

 

 

 

So, Ellis didn't go?

Sorry did not see your earlier post. Wonder if they changed their mind or Ellis just did not get there in time.

Roy video

 

The apple doesn't fall far from the tree. Just like dad. If this kid ever makes it to the big show he'll be eaten alive. I love his moxie but he needs to learn to control that temper.

So, I'm guessing nobody told him that you can't take your gloves of to fight?

 

I'm sure someone did. And yet he screwed up. I'm really not sure I want this kid heading west on I-90. No self control is a bad thing in the big league.

Wow. what a douche nozzle. Just like his old man.

 

Yeah, I'm not happy with his reaction at all. It was immature, unnecessary, and not in the spirit of being part of a team. Passion isn't everything.

looked to me like the other player kept punching him in the face while the refs had his arm tied up. kind of f%$#ed up. although he did go nutso down the hall...id still put a jersey on him.

No one else does, either; that's why we question why he went off like a drunk banshee.

 

Lost his cool over something that happened that he felt was unfair I guess. Not like this doesn't happen in the NHL. At least he didn't try to fight a reporter or something.

It rarely happens in the NHL and he needs to grow up if he wants to make it west of Rochester. This was in a meaningless tourney; do you really want him going off the rails in the playoffs someday?

It happens in the NHL. But we don't see it because cameras don't follow players down the tunnel. Tukka Rask blows up like that when he gets pulled and he doesn't even wait to get to the tunnel.

 

I'd like to see Jason Pominville wreck up the place when he's mad.

Pominville is more mature than that. And it does happen in the NHL--and, of course, more often with goalies. But it doesn't happen often, and that's the point. If Freddy wants to play with the men, he needs to start acting like a man.

He's got quite a way to go to make it to the show.

Lindy Ruff once tried to fight Bryan Murray through the glass. Emotional outbursts have their place in sports. This isn't World Series of Poker.

ONCE. In fifteen years behind the bench (and I'll bet that there are more than several here who considered him passionless--Lindy, of course, hates emotion), he went off the rails ONCE. Get mad? Sure. Go completely off? Not in the National. Name the players that have had tantrums like that (like Roy's) more than once.

 

postscript: How freaking awesome would it have been if Ruff and Murray actually had fought?!

It was more than once, but who cares anyway.

 

I like knowing that my team actually gives a crap. I'd rather have a team full of Roys than a team full of Hechts. Maybe Roy's blowup was for show to light a fire under the rest of the team.

This topic is OLD. A NEW topic should be started unless there is a VERY SPECIFIC REASON to revive this one.
