Great post Dooz and I agree. After the hit it should have been a free for all. I was shocked that at least the guys on the ice didn’t each grab a Devil and go. I guess the they were in shock too.

Frans Nielson of all guys. That is so frustrating.

Maybe Snow should trade a bag of pucks to Florida for Campbell’s son…and the calls will start going our way.

Gordon needs to grow some nuts real quick and show the fans and especially his team that he stands up for that crest and it means something to him like it does to us fans!!!! He really has some making up to do.

Yeah man! You got that right. Remember when the rag fans were shaking the ambulance so they couldn’t get out. They are nothing but class that organization and fans. Just ask them.

Anyone remember when LaFontaine was taken out by the Rags at MSG…and left in an ambulance?

Anyone remember Al Arbour? Has Gordon ever had the pleasure of meeting Al Arbour?

Copy and paste this url…and see how a real coach like Al Arbour would have handled the situation. You think Arbour cared about the next game or what anyone’s perception was? See for yourselves…

Someone needs to show Gordon…how a real coach protects and stands-up for his team.

Logan’s blog says it all. Good read. Enough is enough already! This guy has got to go! What a joke.

Its been a rallying call for us AND hopefully the team. We got pushed around a bit before Fritz busted Peters jaw yesterday. That pretty much put an end to the rough stuff. That is why like it or not Fritz is a necessary player on this team. That is why he should have been used the other night. I just can’t let that go which sucks because I liked Gordon before this but I’m having a real hard time now! I agree DOC hopefully some of this can be directed at Campbell!!! The guy has got to be held accountable for this. He is setting a very bad precedent!

I agree with a lot of the posting here today and last night.

Strummer… you made some great points about the culture of the club.

I think that one real important thing that can be garnered from all of this is that this could very well be a “RALLYING CALL” for the team.

IT can very well galvanize them.

Fritz was good last night.

I have been an advocate to NOT have him on the team… but last night he looked like he belonged… and I think his teammates appreciated his presence and “effect” on the game.

They played like a TEAM last night in Buffalo. Great to see.

Anybody know Campbells e-mail? I know I’ve written some stuff to him and NHL can’t remember address.

Nick: “Hunter’s SO goal disallowed: You can’t assume the puck was in. Vanek’s goal allowed in the 07 playoffs: “You have to assume the puck went in.”

Nick, glad you pointed that out. The problem is not the calls against the Islanders. It’s the complete 180 in rationalization compared to other calls. I remember saying the exact same thing on those two calls.

On Mottau, same deal. I really thought there was no way the league could have gotten this call wrong when the Pock suspension, which just happened, served as the starkly obvious precedent. Shows what I know…

Oh, and Fritz is a beast.
