Will somebody please warn Crosby that if any Hurricane player scores a hat trick that there WILL be hats thrown on the ice, so he shouldn't bother asking the ref to make us stop!I still can't think/talk about that stunt in Washington without laughing uncontrollably.
everyone is making way to big of a deal about this

That was hilarious, whether it was overblown or not.

Yeah, the full story is, there were 3 waves of hats thrown. After the 2nd wave of hats were thrown and the ice was cleared off, people threw more. That's when Sidney opened his mouth. (Which he probably shouldn't have... but he had a point, the game was being slowed down a LOT)
Not defending him on that one, really. But you should know it wasn't just because people threw hats, it was that they were still throwing them well after the ice had already been cleaned up.
I think that he was just worried about there being no hats left for him when he scored his HT a few minutes later. He did get one lonely little solitary hat thrown for him when he did score it.
I never understood the whole hat throwing deal. Do they give them to charity or to the player? Who wants a crusty old used hat anyway? Not to mention that some of the hats run in the 30-50 dollar range.
Due to health concerns, most hockey teams have the hats destroyed afterward. There is a minor league team that displays their hats in the hallways of their arena. Can't remember which one, tho.

I know it wasn't just because they were throwing hats. Sometimes it just takes longer for the hats from those of us in the nosebleed sections to reach the ice. And I know if it happened in Pittsburgh, their fans wouldn't show any more restraint than the folks in Washington did, either.
Wrong.........heres the trailer..cool movie........its on youtube............alien guy is huge......cheers''>' target="_blank">[/post]
I remember that movie. A quintessential cheesy 80s action flick. Dolph Lundgren rules!

We shouldn't throw any hats on the ice, I don't care if 5 of our players score hat tricks. We don't want to upset Ms Cindy. Just look what happened to the Caps after that.

Thought id mention this picture of orpik is not really appreciated by many 'Canes fans.............your thoughts and actions if any?

Whatever, it was still funny.
Again......gonch....having an image attached to your posts of Bruce Orpik does not fare well with the natives.........Cole is very popular here in Raleigh and many have not forgoten that hit orpick put on him that could have paralyzed the guy......
I really think the Orpik thing is past history. There may be a few folks that hold some grudge but IMO, and based upon the games I attended vs the Penns this year, there really isn't much to talk about here. So, really doesn't bother me. Besides, head hunting in the playoffs doesn't happen often.

I plan on throwing a sombrero, areeba!
As for this series, if Cole is on the Staal line, he will see Hal Gill and Rob Scuderi almost exclusively. Orpik is leading the playoffs in hits (well Bfyuglien passed him by a couple after the game yesterday) , so I hope he does continue being physical. He has a lot of hits, but I don't remember any of them being huge hits. More like just finishing off his checks.
Even the league admitted there was no intent to injure on that play, but they suspended Orpiks 3 games anyway for the reckless hit.That was back in the day.... Orpik lost 3 games pay and it was less than 10 grand. Heh.
.
Heh Huh? Cole lost the rest of his season and could have been paralyzed. I don't give you know what about the leagues inconsistent application of injury penalties.
NO- we have not forgotten the event. I may be nothing toY'all as you were on the giving end of the action.
Come in Peace? Not hardly

Agreed. This is not the board to come to defending that hit.
And yes, it is a sensative subject so all guests here need to respect that.
