Correct and several seconds later, from a different camera angle, you clearly see Kadri's bare hand on Petrovic's shoulder with Fraser still not engaged.
Kadri was engaged and willing to go. Not his fault Fraser came in.
Leafs. 2013 Short Season
- Thread starter Ironhead
- Start date
Kadri was engaged and willing to go. Not his fault Fraser came in.
The Bruins-Senators game to-night is on NBC starting at 7PM. If the Bruins lose, they play the Leafs.
Let's just drop it, I am hearten to know you are in love with Kadri
. I like him too, just wish he is out the this little slump soon for the playoffs, AND stay away from this sh*t on the ice. He is too valuable to be fighting, let alone against this big dude Petrovic.Some how I knew that was coming. You attack him, I defend and out comes the comment that 'I love him'.Let's just drop it, I am hearten to know you are in love with Kadri
So I can stiil see Kadri willing to go. You cannot admit that point.
Ottawa controls their fate and 5 other eastern conference team's fate. With so much at stake. Why is the game not on CBC tonight? Oh yeah some guy named Gordie Howe.
Ottawa wins they play the Habs or Ottawa loses they play the PENS or Ottawa gets a point they play the Bruins.
Balanced scoring is always better. What if Ovechkin goes down with an injury? Who does the scoring for Washington? The Bruins won the cup with balanced scoring, they have 4 lines that can score.
Kadri has come a long way from the day Burke drafted him and Ottawa wanted to trade for him, to the years in the Marlies to now. He is a RFA and expect him to ask for $3-4 million per season.
Kessel was by far the best offensive weapon the Leafs had this year, Kadri was the only one even in the same area code. The armchair amateurs observers who dump on him are just plain wrong.
And Kessel has more points than those 2 Boston draft picks combined. If the Leafs do end up playing Boston and Kessel gets over his fear of Boston then we can say Burke Really made a good trade for Kessel. If Lupul wasn't injured he too would been another offensive weapon and JVR had a decent season.
Willie O'Ree the first black Hockey player in the NHL.There aren't any blacks in the NHL?
So hockey has already crossed that barrier? Then why your original observation. IIRC, there are approximately a dozen black players already.
I was referring to making a movie about Willie O'Ree on CBC, like 42 the movie about Jackie Robinson.
OK! I LOVE HIM as a player, not as a fighter then
.Tell me if Kadri pumping fist into Petrovic AFTER Petrovic already down and restrained by Fraser is ACCEPTABLE in your eyes, then I'll admit I'm wrong, can you?
I like Kadri skills, I am delighted that this year he is not shying away from contact like previous years. He has not shown ME class in fighting yet. I am NOT looking for him to be McLaren, but I hope that he understand when to throw a punch, when to stop.
There are unwritten rules for fighting in the NHL, you DON'T: head butt, pulling hair, biting, scratching
D), kicking, keep punching when other guy fall down... among it I think fighter should recognize opponent is not a punching bag when your teammate ties up his hand already. This is not school yard brawl, it is on TV, in front of national audience.

Well that point wasn't too clear in your OP, but it's already been done back in the late 90's, a short documetary, but not by CBC. There also has been similar documentaries about other trailblazers like Fred Sasakamoose, the first native Canadian to play in the NHL. He was not a Jackie Robinson, staying around for only a dozen games or so, but he was before George Armstrong, Grant Fuhr 20+ others over the years, and the dozen or so native players presently in the league.
It ends 26-17-5 fifth spot in the East and a playoff date with Boston.
... and they still need a true number one center.
Well, the good news is that we now have a bona fide #2 centre and a #1 goalie which we didn't have on day 1.
The video ..... ah nevermind.OK! I LOVE HIM as a player, not as a fighter then

Moving on .... the Leafs have improved.
Kadri has grown more then anyone thought as a player. There is differing opinion in his decision making when a fight breaks out, but for the most part Leaf fans seem happy with his progress. He still has room to improve clearly.
Reimer had a good season.
Kessel seems to be coming on at the right time, but playoffs are a different animal. Add to the fact that Boston is the opponent ...
Lupul has been a pleasent surprise.
Frattin never regained the mo-jo he had before he was injured.
In any event ... on to the playoffs !
Go Leafs !
