Just to clarify....when you define "cheap shots" does that include running the goalie like Laraque did, or even a hack/trip like Crosby did? Or does your double standard definition of "cheap shots" not translate over to your own team?

Of course not....when you play the Black and Orange, it's expected that the refs should swallow their whistles on anything that's not done by the Flyers.
After all...we are the Broad Street Bullies, other teams should be allowed to take cheap shots to make up for the 70's and early 80's teams.

Well, elbowing Laraque was a definite cheap shot. And Crosby tripping the goalie? That was a major flop by Biron. It was obvious that it was unintentional.

And for Laraque sliding into Biron?

He Slipped.

OK. The only slipping the Penguins are doing is their decline in the division standings.

Flyers goaltender Martin Biron fell behind his net after Penguins leading scorer Sidney Crosby brushed past, then motioned for Crosby to come back and fight. Laraque knew that was his cue.

"Crosby shouldn't fight anyone because he's the best player in the world, so right away when that happened, I was thinking about ways to show [Biron] we didn't like it," Laraque recalled yesterday after the Penguins practiced at Southpointe.

"I wanted to do it more in a comical way. I wanted to do it just to provoke, not with intent to injure, so I wouldn't get suspended."

Inspired by a famous 1952 black-and-white photo of Robinson stealing home, he devised The Slide.

His next shift, Laraque skated toward Biron, pretended to lose his balance and knocked the goaltender off his skates with a feet-first move.

It earned him a goalie-interference minor penalty, a 10-minute misconduct penalty and a $1,000 fine from the NHL, but Laraque was pleased with the play.

"I kind of turned like I lost my balance, and I did it so good that Biron thought that I got tripped by one of his own players," Laraque said.
ok, so i was wrong.. good stuff Georges!!

Re: The Official Thread of the Philadelphia Flyers (Established 2005)

I still think of it as a classless move, even if he wasn't trying to injure. No player should go after a goalie like that.

Re: The Official Thread of the Philadelphia Flyers (Established 2005)

Time to turn the page boys. If more sour grapes want to be discussed, there's a Pens thread. The games keep moving on.

Good heart tonight and how sick is Lupul this past week? Still way too long in setting up that final 5-3. And does anybody know the rule about the puck hitting the crossbar and that last freakish goal in the shootout?

BTW....landed some comp tix vs. the Sabres this coming Sat.!!! Me and my boy will be there before he has to relocate down South!!! Hoo Hoo!
