1. I'm an unbiased member of the media that used to ref. I was in the pressbox for this game. It was a simple clean check that changed the face of the game for Buffalo. The arena showed this check one time on the scoreboard, and the fans stood and cheered when RJ got back to his feet. In the locker room, I saw RJ and talked to him, he said he was "ok" This wasn't true because he did not play in game 2. He got a concussion, and he will probably be out for maybe the rest of the playoffs
2. Oooooo, yeah? That hit's got your panties all in a bunch. what's the matter sweetheart, the litte "pussy from Buffalo" just straight-up owned one of your Broad Street "bullies?" Yeah, i guess that's gotta suck getting laid out by a pussy. I'm glad he's ok but why don't you have Tough Guy skate with his head up next time? BTW- totally legal hit. if Campbell was "head hunting" your boy's ass would spending the rest of the series at TJ University Hospital.
3. That was one of the biggest cheap shots ever. And the way that you dumb asses in the areana handled it was a discrace to the hockey comunity. I know for a fact that if that happened in Phily they wouldn't keep on playing it over and over. Plus your guys got the shit knocked out of him during the next series. He was laid out and had to be brought off the rink in a stretcher. and at least umberger had the balls to go out and still play in that series. So up yours you fuckin fagets.
4. I think it's funny that these Cryers fans are talking about having class. Look at your team. A player who used to be one of the most disiplined players in the NHL, Peter Forsberg, went after Briere and checked him into the boards in a very cheap shot, which he got a penalty for by the way. It just shows what putting on a Flyers jersey does to even the most disiplined players. And if you didn't have Forsberg, you wouldnt have even made it to the playoffs.
5. Because he could have been injured. It was my understanding that the arena's just don't replay something that a player is seriously injured on and at the time it looked like could have been really injured. Examples I can think of off the top of my head are the Suter cross-check on Paul Kariya, Lemieux's hit on Draper, that guy on Montreal who blocked the shot and almost died because he esophogus was cracked (Clearly I think?), etc etc.
