Nothing arguable at all. Backes was not playing the puck. He was hit in head, first. I don't care if he left his feet or not. It was a hit that was NOT needed to enhance the play. It was a check that should not have been finished. Thugs play that way because they are not good hockey players, so...

This dud should be gone as well. A PRIME example of a hit that did not need to be made. This was a hit meant only to do damage. The "thug" game thrives. http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nhl-puck-daddy/brent-seabrook-ejected-after-hit-to-head-of-david-backes--video-220125761.html

He SHOULD have received a suspension for the remainder of the season and fined a years wages. If not the entire year, all he would have made for the remainder of this season. He does not belong in the league. There are far too many thugs and it hurts the game. Hockey is a contact sport, a...

Lucic? He sucks. Boston is basically a "thug" team as well. If I were in charge of the league he would be gone for the remainder of the season for that. I also would have fined him a years wages. There is no call for that crap. It IS what happens when lower skill level players encounter higher...

I wonder how many here REALLY believe that they are going to get total access to the best of the best, in both equipment or specialists, once we go to a "single pay" system? There will ALWAYS be separate health care, better health care, for the "elite", just as there is in England and in most...

IF they wanted to lower crime rates they would not keep putting 36 time losers back on the street.

And several ambulances.

It very well could help an opponent

It would be VERY interesting to know how much of the "cost" of US health care is due to cosmetic surgery etc. Also it would be interesting to know how much is due to having more, high cost. "toys" to play with. Like numbers of MRI machines per 100K etc.

Either way he was out of control. If he does not like it he does not have to coach in the NHL. It is optional.

The thing is that the move to disarm law abiding citizens has NOTHING to do with controlling crime. That is the "excuse" they use for their actions.

He was sort of out of control, it did appear that he grabbed it, but it was not clear. May have been a bit excessive, but I am no in charge of the league. He does know the story. The guy from Chicago ESPN thinks it was deserved. I don't know. That has nothing to do with why low life, skill...

I did not know you played for or owned the Hawks.

I have NO idea what you are talking about.

There are basically three schools of thought when it comes to crime. Restrict the movement of those convicted of crime, restrict the movement of those who had NOT committed crimes, eliminate the causes of crime. Most reasonable people want the same thing, safer streets, less crime. The only...

I never said eliminate crime, not possible. It IS possible to eliminate repeaters. Crime rates are FAR too high. 42 or 49% lower of outrageous is still outrageous. No person should have to live in the conditions we have today. There is no excuse.

It is NOT working. The 42 year low is FAR too high. It is not safe to walk down a street in places like Detroit, Chicago or Monroe, MI. As I said, I am ALL ears, come up with some better answers. Just use Michigan for now, that takes that death penalty off the table, we don't have it here. How...

I did not look at it as a "brain fart", it was a good post that fits this thread. It is a real problem. There NEEDS to be a solution. The other side of that coin needs fixed more in my opinion. As I said, I am willing to listen to and consider ANY plan that can cut down, drastically, on the...

Then, when people DO step up to stop a crime, disarm a criminal, they lose their job. People SHOULD stop crimes when they are taking place. The fine person, who just has made a few mistakes in his life? "The alleged shoplifter is 51-year-old Claude Medlock. According to KDFW, Arlington Police...

Mistakes are made. How would YOU solve what is going on? It's EASY to say that things such as above should not happen. It's "nice" to say that it's better for 100 guilty people should go free than have one locked up wrongly. Tell that to those who lose their lives, or have their lives ruined by...
