^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.
No one can beat up lucic in a fight not even enforcers who are paid to protect star players... Lucic would toss chara around the ice if they werent team mates.
he is the most feared player in the nhl, 10 years ago was todd bertuzzi
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
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
Originally posted by 97ITR He would step out of his freshly downtown autospa detailed 996 C4s, check out his own reflection in the driverside window out of habit, take off his brand new limited edition D&G aviator sunglasses so the mf can see the fury in his eyes, sashay over to the other guy and then threaten to insert his black leather Savatore Ferragamo loafers into the guys rear-end.
Definitely not incidental and made no effort to avoid the contact IMO
Borderline or not, I think Shanahan should've gave him a game or two him to send a message to the rest of the league that injuring goaltenders like that is unacceptable. If concussing a team's goaltender is only worth a 2 minute minor, then we should've sent Tanner Glass in to barrel Tim Thomas, kill off the 2 minutes, and we'd probably have ourselves a Stanley Cup banner hanging from the rafters of Rogers Arena right now.
Exactly - Shanahan has unfortunately set the precedent that hitting a goaltender like that results in a minor penalty - no fine & no suspension.

An injury will keep goaltender Roberto Luongo out of the Vancouver Canucks' NHL game against the Chicago Blackhawks on Wednesday night. Vancouver coach Alain Vigneault says Luongo has an upper-body injury and is listed as day-to-day. Luongo has missed the last two days of practice
Don't forget - Luongo took a Mark Streit shot off his head...
