Why don't you stick it up your arse, then

The NHL rules very clearly state that if anyone instigates a fight in the last five minutes of a game, or in overtime, they will sit out the next game. It's an automatic suspension

or all the accusations people throw at Detroit, they don't whine or cry or get preferential fucking treatment.

they dont have to, it just comes to them naturally.

I will point out to you that the "Instigator in the last 5 minutes = automatic suspension" rule is VERY LOOSELY (read: NOT) enforced

[mirrorballmoon]

Why have the rule at all then, if people are just going go "wtf rules" and get angry? It's not unreasonable to expect it to be enforced if it's in the book. What's it take for them to enforce their own rules

[caitlin]

I don't know why they have that rule. The AHL does enforce it tho.

As for the Penguins being overrated, Miroslav Satan should be in that list too if you REALLY wanna talk overrated. I don't know if you knew he was on the Pens tho.

Crosby and Malkin are over exposed... Gonchar is getting old, and I think Fleury needs more development time (he's 24). Satan, tho... THAT is overrated. I can name more Pens than that: Jordan Staal, Kris Letang, Bill Guerin (although I'm not sure how much he counts)... even Brooks Orpik, but that's me.

I'm personally tired of Detroit winning all the damn time (AND I can't stand Marian Hossa. But that goes back to 2000)...

[mirrorballmoon]

I can name a few. :) It's just that none of them get a terrible amount of attention. Chris Kunitz is another one, is he not Crosby's linemate? He's hockey's equivalent of the drummer in a band! Clearly important, but not enough to warrant the attention...

*EPIC MOTHERFUCKING TODDLER FISTS*

THE LACK OF ENFORCEMENT OF THE INSTIGATOR RULE IS THE REASON THE BRUINS ARE NOT PLAYING THE RED WINGS RIGHT NOW.

IF YOU'RE GONNA HAVE A RULE, FUCKING ENFORCE IT YOU NHL SONS OF BITCHES.

DON'T FUCKING SUSPEND LOOCH FOR A GAME AND THEN LET SCOTT WALKER DO WHATEVER HE WANTS.

*MORE TODDLERFISTS*

okay, done. *whoo* Yeah, I'm pulling for the Red Wings, too! God I love Twitter. XD

THIS.

Granted, I don't LIKE Detroit.. but I like them far, far more than I will ever like Pittsburgh. I knew as soon as I heard about Malkin that he wasn't gonna get a suspension. Because he's Malkin. I swear, Pittsburgh is this year's Anaheim Ducks.

The team holding the Stanley cup (for the second straight year) will get the last laugh, anyway.

booo Pittsburgh >>
