Amen!
And if Philly really does want revenge over the Lidros hit, they need to be put somewhere far away from society, because I agree with JKratzer that it was Lindros's fault for skating w/ his damn head down. As for Boulerice, I don't think there's any way else to explain his hit other than, well..."Goonery". I mean, he checked Boulerice in neck!
Downie's hit I think was just mindless. If you ask me, i don't really think he intended hit as hard as he did. Regardless, it was retarded.
What I am saying is that John Stevens needs to get control over his team. This type of stupidity shouldn't be coming from one single team so early in the season.
Although I don't agree with Adsfan about "payback" for the Lindros hit, I think he raises a good point saying that somethng IS wrong if Philly is able to hand out so many whoopings.
Also, I lose respect for management of a team who can basically just throw you away like garbage if you DO make some hits that was result in injury. Especially since it was probably the coaching that caused all of this. What are the chances that two players have already caused two major injuries, and the coaching did not do anything to start that? Either way it starts with the coaching. On one side, maybe the coach encouraged such hits, and on the other side, if it truly just is the players fault, Stevens NEEDS to real that s*#t in!
