^if marchand woulda ran luongo in the finals, they would have given luongo a suspension for the number of games remaining for discriminating against marchands nose

I'd be against open season on goalies for 2 reasons:

1. Goalies rarely, if ever, utilize speed when making contact with a player and will lose out in most cases, increasing the chances of injury.

2. Injuries to goalies have a much bigger effect on a game than they do to players. A coach can easily shuffle lines to make up for the loss of a player. The loss of a goalie means replacing him with a backup. If the backup then goes down with injury, the coach will have to dress whoever he can find, play without, or forfeit. The role of a goalie factors into a game so much so that the rules allow for players to serve out minor penalties incurred by the goalie.

edit: Another example of the importance of a goalies: replacing a goalie in order to send a message to the team when the goalie was not at fault for the goals against.

I don't think he is nearly close to as untouchable as you make him out to be. Lucic a tough player? for sure, the most feared player in the NHL? ... don't think so

He's 6'4", 220. That's almost average in the league nowadays. I'm sure there's plenty of guys in the NHL that could rock him.

RR vs. Lucic would be a battle... just saying.

Wish he were still here, bless his soul.

it wouldnt be a battle

RR would rock the shit out of Lucic

Voted for 2012 nhl all stars the most deserving players

jamie benn - teemu selanne - lou eriksson
edler - karlsson
riemer

Jamie Benn!

Are you referring to just the heavyweight "tough guys" or overall league?
I would think the league avg is more like around 6'2" and 200 lbs.

I miss him still.

While no one mentioned about this yet (I don't think).
Would Miller have been in big trouble if his slash connected?
That slash probably would have connected at the thigh level.

wasn't this the time where lucic had a broken nose? .. I think he was a little handicapped in this fight

Where's Rome? He's deserving :troll:

Forgot about Rome :lol

According to CDC he is our secret weapon, unleash him in the playoffs :troll:

do I sense vote for Rory v2.0? :troll:

Exactly - Shanahan has unfortunately set the precedent that hitting a goaltender like that results in a minor penalty - no fine & no suspension.

Haha nice one!

rory2.0 was fun
but sorta embarrassing
what made is worst is how the league over-ruled the votes
soo it was embarrassing for fans and the sportsworld
