100% true. I think the Islanders reaction in this game caused the league to get slightly more serious about se suspensions for dirty hits (with CTE concerns and fear of future lawsuits also having an impact). My opinion is penalties for cheap hits are still way too lax - but we’re miles ahead of where the NHL was a little more than a decade ago.

That 2010-11 season... such a bad year in terms of shifting back the playoff window, and adding to issues that the team still has, despite employing multiple different GMs. Crosby got concussed, Geno tore his meniscus off a missed hit of Victor Hedman, but Jordan Staal then got blamed for not being able to fill the spots of two of the ten best players in the world at the time. Staal was shipped to Carolina, and I'm sure the Pens would rather use him than Jeff Carter, and then the James Neal trade... cause send a top 4 defenseman for a bottom pair defenseman who was a fine and suspension machine and a mid 6 forward who was only as good as his center. That certainly didn't bite the Pens. At least they got Patric Hornqvist eventually out of it?
@cousinpatsey2471
Жыл бұрын
You're misrepresenting some things here. Staal wasn't blamed for that; everyone knew he did the best he can. Staal was shipped out because he didn't want to play in Pittsburgh anymore, he wanted to go with his brother in Carolina. The contract he signed in Carolina was almost identical to the reported one he was offered by Pittsburgh. Also, while I'm not saying the Neal trade was good, Niskanen and Neal were both brought on for their upside. They were hoping both players would become great. Eventually both did, Neal for like 3 seasons and Niskanen had a few great years, Pens just couldn't afford him at that point. Neither trade was as bad as you're making it seem.

Pens and Long Island fans, please help an old man out ;) lol Cheers from Canada P.S. I know this has little bearing on the current subject but weren't these teams involved in the first ever, 3-0 series comeback, that did not occur in the finals, 1975. I beleive it was done by Toronto Vs. Detroit. In the 1942 Final. It's not tough to start a rivalry after what happened, in 75. Then there was the good old Patrick division, guaranteeing many more meetings per year. At one point, 8 times a year!! That's another great way to start, or continue a rivalry!

"We clean! We clean! The zebras just hate us!" Said by a fan base whose team had Matt Cooke on the roster. The same Matt Cooke who ended Marc Savard's career with a blindside shoulder hit while wearing a Penguins uniform. You know, for someone who is really quick to shout "Myles Garrett! Myles Garrett! Cleveland Browns! Cleveland Browns!" whenever Tom Wilson steps onto the ice, they always conveniently forget that Matt Cooke preceded Tom Wilson by a couple of years, and while Wilson has not ended anyone's career (yet), Cooke little "shoulder tap" concussed Savard so hard that he could never play again.

Man, I wish I had seen this a few days ago. It's a good takedown but there's backstory that you didn't add in. (Disclaimer: I'm not here to defend the Islanders or the Pens, just provide context) 1. The League looked the other way with thugs like Matt Cooke ending people's careers, or trying to hurt people intentionally. He got away with it because he was on the Penguins, one of the league's darling teams. 2. At the time, there was a belief amongst not only fans but players (ie; Islanders) that the league didn't care for certain teams, and went out of its way to protect others. Does anyone remember the Colin Campbell memos? The "good ol' boys" network was alive and well at the time. Ask Marc Savard. 3. The league didn't stop nonsense from the Penguins earlier in the season, including the preseason, it just fed into the viewpoint that the league protected teams and didn't care about other teams. Oh, and it wasn't just Matt Cooke who was dirty AF, the Pens lead the league with penalty minutes that year and should have had many more. Maxime Talbot, Mike Rupp, Deryk Engelland, and Craig Adams could easily be dirty and often were. Oh, and Cooke didn't play in the game, because of course not. That's the kind of team the Penguins were at the time. There are also more postscripts to the game 1. Lemieux's comments about the game made the NHL fanbase yell at him- he literally had Matt Cooke on his team. The NHL basically told him to STFU after that. 2. Notice that Cooke stopped taking idiot penalties after that season, and was forced to play actual hockey? This game is why. 3. There was a noticeable shift in how the NHL handled penalties and in-game fighting afterward. Sure, some of it was because the Isles did take things too far, but a lot of it was also in recognition that the Matt Cooke protection racket had to go. 4. In part because of the 2010 memos released but ALSO in part because of this game, Colin Campbell stepped down after the season as VP of Player Safety. 5. The Isles were still rebuilding but no longer faced the kind of in-game bullying that they had to deal with beforehand.
