Winter sucks

 

In a 1976 Stanley Cup playoff game between the Philadelphia Flyers and the Toronto Maple Leafs, Dave "The Hammer" Schultz picked up an NHL playoff record, 42 penalty minutes. His total included two fighting majors from a pair of scraps with Dave "Tiger" Williams, a 10-minute misconduct, a double game misconduct and a two-minute minor penalty.

i know u love fighting, cutter - but to me, a guy who puts foil on his hands to fight isn't an honorable enforcer, he's a fucking coward.

 

lulz isn't a fan of strapping on the foil eh? Im guessing Dave Schultz was.

 

I think someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed. In case you missed the news bulletin, foil and hockey = guud and where and when did Schultz do this?

 

i haven't had a good night's sleep in 10 years, but last night was far closer to one than usual - so, nice try, foil boy.

if schultz didn't do it, then i take back my criticism - of HIM.

foil says "i don't believe i can beat u in a FAIR fight". as soon as fighters cheat, any honor in it goes out the window, and it becames a straight-up attempt to injure an opponent.

serious question: do u consider a dishonorable attempt to injure an opponent to be a good thing, and something that's good for the game?

 

are boxing wraps foil? even if they are if it wasnt illegal Id do the same thing, you know what it must be like for a guy to earn a living fighting every single night. Hes protecting his knuckles and his hand. It wasnt illegal even if he did it and for a guy whos 6'0 200 but managed to put the fear of god in players to go along with his 472 PIM season, hes anything but a coward. Thats balls and rep and thats also a crap take Lulz

 

k but maybe look it up before you cast stones. I see nothing to back that up other than you watched Slapshot and it may have planted the seed

not sure who this is for but Ill assume this wasnt for me

k so who is your criticism for? Im not understanding where your going with this. If your in a sh*tty mood just say it. Ive unloaded on people here before when Im in a bad mood but Im not getting your angle here unless it is just that. In that case Ill leave you alone before you put the foil on ;D

 

yes, it was for u - did your "wrong side of the bed" comment escape your memory so quickly?

i think the source of it was alfred, i don't remember for sure - but i'm pretty sure he's made repeated references to it in the past, and bragged about it. i have never watched slapshot. yes, that's right. i've never seen it. maybe alfred only used it as a figure of speech.

and are YOU seriously going to diss ME for not researching something? wow.
