Nah, Interference was the right call. Cooter hadn't touched the puck when Depres hit him, and it wasn't a head hit.

Vicas posted:

If he didn't avoid it, he would've gone into the boards hard, and also in his way down. He took less of it, but in a worse place, and with absolutely no resistance. Tough spot to be in because the guy hitting him wasn't playing the puck, so it was kinda hard to prepare for it.

Downie was really up and down on the Flyers and I'm pretty happy we didn't re-sign him, considering we had Akeson, Jones, and Bellmare waiting in the wings

He did try to kill Rinaldo which I appreciate. One thing about Downie so far is that anybody who tries to gently caress with a Pen is gonna have to deal with him taking runs at them all night. It kinda owns.

what young talent are we not playing? we don't exactly have any good forward prospects and Johnston is actually playing Despres so far this year. though tbh I bet when Bortuzzo comes back they'll idiotically bench Despres instead of the awful awful Scuderi.

but yeah I dunno what more you want unless you want another one of our trillion d prospects playing

why did sundqvist and kapanen get sent off what did they have to lose by letting them play instead of zach sill or steve downie or spaling (i dont care if he scored he still sucks) or loving craig "why am i in the nhl" adams

basically, why should the pens be determined to resign him (since he sucks) and the idea--parroted by uncle bob mckenzie--that he would perform better when he's the undisputed #1 tendy rather than fighting for the position is dumb. not in those words.
