Really need to aim to get more videos. Takes far less time.
Huge Hit. Nice punch.
The player taking the hit was Jan Mursak. He played over 200 AHL games and won the Calder Cup championship last season. Though he's from Slovenia it is his first time playing full time professionally in Europe. Not sure he was ever hit that hard even in the AHL.
Poor Josh Gratton.
Gratton slowly made it to the NHL first with the Flyers. He even played a whole NHL season in Phoenix. I'm not sure how many more seasons the tough guy has left in him. Alexander Svitov certainly didn't have a problem. That was a beating. Svitov can handle himself but doesn't quite play that style anymore. I guess unless a former NHL tough guy is bugging him.
QUICK EDITOR'S NOTE:
I don't often post links to stories from hockey writers mainly because I don't read many but in light of what I just posted yesterday, take a look at this story covered briefly by CSN Philly. Bizarre timing. Maybe Timmy is reading my blog.
Some of my favorites about penalties include (from Sestito), "always had a problem there" and "don't know if it's their reputation or not." Continuing on about the team, "always a win now team" and "not much rebuilding ever going on."
Holy shit, it's practically the same things I keep on saying. Even a player who spent a brief period of time here can see it.
I agree...more videos. I saw that CSN Philly article earlier this evening and thought the same thing in that where did I hear this before. Oh, yeah Ryan said the same thing.
