Does anyone have that video of Ribero not taking out Crosby

[wondermoose]

All false. In the ole days, he would gone low with the hip and flipped him over his back.

Ribero is soff, good thing AO doesn't backcheck.. Imagine if the two were reversed there

Has nothing to do with respect. Has a lot to do with not wanting to lose 10% of his season to suspension.

Oh, so you spoke to Mike about that? Cool.

No, Brendan Shanahan has spoken several times to everyone that cared to listen. I was one of those people and its safe to assume that Ribiero was to.

Major respect for Ribero there. More players need to respect each other like that.

If you replaced Ribiero with Malkin and Crosby with Giroux I'd have flipped out. No one is asking you to kill anyone but you make that hit.

I think you thump him there. Not some kind of wipeout, high hit, but hockey is and always has been a contact sport.

It'd still be a blindside hit. Those were never cool as far as I know.

blindside hits were fine until recently. celebrated, even.

Cooke's hit on Savard for example totally legal "he should've had his head on a swivel" hit at the time.

Scott Stevens made a career out of what would now be suspendable hits

You go shoulder on shoulder right there and and Sid is just knocked off the puck.
