Around SBN: Knicks Beat Lakers With Familiar Strategy

I Saw What You Did And I Know Who You Are

Kesler_medium

 

Not to dwell on it too much because it's a relative non-story, but it is a slow off day on this long road trip, so it felt post-worthy. It was somewhat encouraging this morning to read that some national bloggers feel the same way a lot of us do regarding Ryan Kesler's turtle act against Andrew Ladd and his whining to the media in the aftermath of Saturday night's game.  Behold Two-Line Pass of Puck Daddy:

Ryan Kesler sure came off like a punk after that fight with Ladd.

"He's a coward, he'll always be a coward," he said after the game. "At least he was man enough to hit me when I was looking this time."

Know who's a coward? Kesler, for that lame takedown before he even threw a punch. You got beat, Kes. Act like an adult.

Thank you very much for the insight, Mr. Pass. Now that we all have closure, vindication, and validation regarding this issue, let's all move on and start to focus on tomorrow's tilt versus Deadmonton.

P.S. - Not to beat another dead horse, but I'd also like to personally thank everyone who made it out to the Whirlaway on Saturday. It was an unbelievable turnout with a lot of great people that made the ugly loss somewhat bearable. And, as Sam pointed out, Saturday 100% confirms our shared feelings that the St. Louis trip is going to be an absolute shit show (in a good way- kinda).

New rules for fighting

1) Failure to remove your helmet if you wear a shield results in an extra 2 min minor for being a pussy.
2) There should be a rule making illegal to take a player down like Kessler did, it was on purpose and it looked like he was trying to drop Ladd on his head. Alot of players wear shields and just like VERSTEEG!!! and Ladd did in their fights removed their helmets in order to engage. I understand that in fights you lose your balance and fall on the other player but to lift up the guy and try and drop him on his head should be an attempt to injure and be a match penalty (believe this happened to Eager last year as well)..some one will get seriously hurt unless a refs start calling a penalty in these situations.

by Bargeman68 on Jan 25, 2010 12:21 PM CST reply actions   1 recs

agree to disagree

There is no way a take down like that can be a penalty…to much room for interpretation. Kesler was about to have his shit handed to him and he figured it out w the devastating blow he took…He jumped off the bull b4 being destroyed. I like the helmet rule.

Couldn't agree more

That’s the first thought that came to mind when I watched that video – blatant attempt to injure on that one – if you wanna puss out and go down, grab the jersey and bring him down on top of, or next to you. That was a scary dangerous intentional take down the kind of which could not just injure, but kill a guy. Take the helmets off yes, but crucify the guy for take down like that by a guys leg.

In a case that blatant

I could see a penalty being called. A fight by definition is “intent to injure”, but if you classify it as a flagrant foul kind of thing (biting your opponent in a boxing match kind of thing?)….yeah. As it is, the takedown was just….well, it was just Kesler being a pussy, then being a bigger one talking about it after the game. It’s pretty obvious that everyone who saw it/heard it knows that’s exactly what it was. I’m now officially embarrassed to have such a pussy on the US Olympic team. Wait, there’s no fighting in the Olympics, right? Ah, doesn’t matter, he’s still a pussy.

I like that Q didn’t send Eager or someone else out late in the game to kick the ever-loving shit out of Kesler when the score was out of hand. That’s a chip I’d just as soon save for later. But does that dude ever have an asskicking coming to him.

Ladder has spoken

Source:

[…] Andrew Ladd said Monday he and his Blackhawks teammates “all had a pretty good laugh at it.”

[…]

“It’s pretty to tough to take when we square off and he takes one shot and then decides he wants to bail on the fight and really pretty much just throw me down,” Ladd said. "I think anyone who has seen both videos can make their own conclusions. The first one we kind of ran into each other and he took the worst of it. It’s too bad but I’m not going to lose any sleep abobut it. The last one was pretty obvious. We squared off, he took a shot and then didn’t really seem to want to fight anymore.

“I’m a pretty honest player and I play the game hard and fair and if he wants to whine about it go ahead. It seems like he had a lot of stuff bottled up. He was talking lots before but didn’t really say much after the fight. He was pretty quiet. I’ll do the rest of my talking on the ice.”

Seriously, though, going into the game the Canucks wanted to “make a statement” that they’re a good team. They pull off a pretty well-executed game, beat us by the largest goal margin we’ve ever lost, and what does the coverage around this weekend consist of?

1) Kesler calling Ladd a coward
2) How the entire Canucks organization snubbed interviews on HNIC because of MacLean’s comments on Burrows

I loved how Ladd pointed at his eye.

hehe Only thing better would have been a small box of Morton’s to rub in that baby. I hope every time he looks in the mirror, and sees the scar under his eye, for I don’t know… maybe the rest of his life, he thinks of Ladd and has to resist calling himself a giant douche bag.

I've heard Crosby and Ovechkin as questions/answers this year too

Hockey beyond those two teams is too obscure for the show, probably
Cool that hockey was referenced in Final Jeopardy, though

Dear Mr. Kesler,

You got destroyed…You have a bloody cut under your eye.

congrats on finding out you suck and got served up a healthy dose of ouch from a guy that does not fight more than 5 times a year max and is twice as talented as you when it comes to the game of hockey.

For those who haven’t yet heard, Q said at this morning’s practice that Bolland should be in Edmonton when the Hawks get there today. They’re gonna skate with him tomorrow morning, and according to Q:

Hopefully he can help us right from the time he gets on the ice in practice.

Is that photo legit?

I assumed he was bleeding after the fight because of the way Ladd kept pointing at his eye, but that blood streak on the photo looks strangely phony.

by Scott13 on Jan 26, 2010 11:20 AM CST reply actions  

I nabbed it from ESPN, and you can see the watermark for Getty Images

So while I have no way of proving it’s legitimacy, based on those sources, it’d be pretty safe to assume it’s not doctored.

Game 6 Video

Has anyone seen video of the alleged “cowardly” play Kesler is referencing from last season? Come on. I know at least half of you still have that game DVR’d. I do.

If I knew how to transfer video to my computer I’d do it myself, but alas, I’m technologically inadequate.

by herecomethehawks77 on Jan 26, 2010 12:30 PM CST reply actions  

I have to assume this is it

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y3Vz3PZw4DY

But, Kesler said he was crosschecked by Ladd, and this obviously is not a crosscheck. So I don’t know, maybe there was another incident?

by K_Dog on Jan 26, 2010 12:50 PM CST up reply actions  

This is the right clip

Because Kesler mentions his broken nose.

The hit is a little dirty, probably a charge, when they slow it down you can see that he doesn’t hit Kesler with the elbow though.

by Hack on Jan 26, 2010 12:57 PM CST up reply actions  

That's the one...

That’s the clip they had on TSN that I copied here. The camera angle used in the youtube makes it look worse than the TSN. At full speed you can see Ladd is forechecking and skating towards the puck, when Kesler comes across his own zone. Ladd’s description makes sense to me now.

by herecomethehawks77 on Jan 26, 2010 1:22 PM CST up reply actions  

Ok, I see it now.

Upon repeated viewings I see why Kesler is angry. Ladd probably was trying to hit him, but it wasn’t a cross check and not really an elbow either.

Ladd was trying to tuck his arm in so it wouldnt get broken off in an awkward collision.

dirty hit, at least from that angle, but that shit happens all the time in hockey and you never really hear about a player taking one in the face, bailing dangerously from the fight, and then calling the other guy a coward.

I’m probably going to sound a little bit like Kesler here, but it really makes me happy that there is a person who would put up a live webcam of puppies and also that there are people who watch it.
