Patrick Kaleta Boarding Call on Jared Ross 11/27/2009

[MrSportsguy14]

Kaleta is a pussy.

[TheKrawtch]

no ninja, all turtle.

[mattroxxxx]

this is bullshit, no boarding

[FranklinFalcons999]

Fucking Broadstreet bullies deserve tht

[SABRESwincup1]

@barffalony you wanna know why? because he makes huge ass hits cleanly and other teams get pissed at him. he doesn't feel like not playing for 5:00 or more every game. he wouldn't be dressed for any of the games

[OvechkinDatsyuk14]

It wouldn't have been a problem if he didn't turn and pass. He could've just took the hit and moved on but he turned and kaleta couldn't have stopped and not touched him. That would be impossible. Not kaletas fault

[SABRESwincup1]

@OvechkinDatsyuk14 thank you you have proved my point again simongagne33 is an idiot

[OvechkinDatsyuk14]

@SABRESwincup1 yeah so is HawksCupChamps

[buttkick22]

@barffalony where did i "defend him"? I simply stated facts. Kinda' hard to argue facts dude...I simply said that he fights a lot more often than other hated pests in the league. At least he answers the bell for his actions and takes the occasion beating like a man and keeps things honest.That's "defending"? I like how just because i made points it all of a sudden turns into me having a "crush" on kaleta. Really? You're already resulting into homo erotic jokes? Clearly u have nothing else to add

[buttkick22]

@barffalony two fights in 10 games. In 08-09 he had 11. The yar after that he had 9. Both of which he missed over 25 games. Last year he had 3 fights. Only played 51 games and he had a cast on his left hand for 17 of those games. You can't fight with a cast and ur hand taped up genius. Automatic game ejection. What other shield wearing pest fight around 10 times a yr?...Don't bring up stats form this year. Season just started. 2 years ago he had 10g, was +2, had 2 SHG, and 4 GWG. Also kills pen.

[crazyOSUfan93]

of course the hits dirty... but thats because ross fucking turned his back. it just looks dirty when in reality if ross didnt turn then it would have been clean. you're an idiot if you say oh "he was clearing it" you dont fucking turn your back like that. ive known and played hockey for so long to know that teams teach their kids to turn like that at a young age. kaleta had no time to back away by the time ross turned like that

[420goossens]

@crazyOSUfan93 If he hits the guy shoulders then fine no problem but he rams Ross' head into the glass...Kaleta is the biggest pussy and cheapshot artist in the league...Theres a reason he wears that big ass visor

[simongagne33]

For all you Idiots that say "Ross turned his back" not only was he clearing the puck but he saw a player coming so he kept his head up looking at where to clear it and where the hits coming. But I guess it's Ross fault cause when your playing some cheap bitch you need to expect something like that.

[Licker4ever]

I think it's hilarious how people call kaleta dirty and gutless. People just don't like him cuz he is a hard worker on the ice and can deliver hits. And to the dumbass who said he leads in turtling, it's because after his hard hits the other team jumps him like goons. It's called self defense.

[buttkick22]

@barffalony he still fights a hell of alot more than guys like cooke, lapierre, larose etc.

[agentausten]

ill admit Im a sabres fan, but when someone bearing down on you, dont turn your back. Kaleta had a full head of steam, and Ross turned away at the last second. Some guys will never be as polished and their is to lay big hits, momentum guys. Under the new rules, thats a suspension. But in no way was that Kaletas fault

[sharkattack11647]

Kaleta gets suspended probably the right call, but how about richard s not getting suspended after game 6, garry bettman and the rest of the nhl officals should either make all the calls even or they canjust continue sucking dick

[MonsterEnergy73]

He turned his back after ringing it around the boards. The problem was Kaleta had engaged before he moved the puck. And at the pace of the game, sometimes you can't just stop right away. Dirty hit, but not a dirty decision. Sometimes, we just need to pay a price for accidents.

[mpatterson100]

terrible call



[BUFFA10sabres]

i hope sabres fans are not saying he turned his back.. its a dirty hit.. enough said and im a sabres fan and a fan of Kaleta.. man up to the truth

[ME16510]

looks like just like an ohl hit when mike liambas hit fenelli

[TheFlighter]

Ross turns hes back just on bad time

[HawksCupChamps]

Uhh, you guys do realize that the reason he turned is because he tried clearing the puck right? I can tell you guys haven't played a single game of hockey if you don't realize that.

[phathockeydevil]

@HawksCupChamps It's his own fault. He saw Kaleta coming and still turned, which is the dumbest move u can make.

[Alphawolfeone]

@HawksCupChamps Sometimes you gotta protect yourself instead of passing the puck or, well you get slammed into the boards - little lesson for in case you ever consider playing hockey... If you have played hockey it must of been in the French league...

[SABRESwincup1]

@HawksCupChamps He still turned towards the glass he easily could have just cleared it without turning, ive done it many times myself

[simongagne33]

@SABRESwincup1 there`s another player coming dumbass

[SABRESwincup1]

@simongagne33 he didnt have to turn towards the glass dumbass

[simongagne33]

@SABRESwincup1 your an idiot, you either don't understand the game of hockey or your defending one of the biggest bitch in the NHL

[SABRESwincup1]

@simongagne33 i hate the flyers just as much as you do but its NOT Patrick's fault

[rpaxon]

Not a hit you want to see, but it is entirely Ross' fault. Kaleta had precious little time to pull up -- nor should he have to -- once Ross decided to turn away from both forecheckers' impending hits.

[abomb1371]

ahaha kaletas dirty and has a bad rep. but ross totally saw him and turned his ehad. ahahahahaha dumbasssss

[KaguyaShenku0]

His own damn fault for turning his head down towards the board

[Dropthemittens]

It's funny how everyone freaked out when Ovechkin "boarded" Kaleta and got suspended for it, calling him a dirty player and all. Not dirty, aggressive there's a difference. This hit, however, was way worse than Ovi's hit on Kaleta.

[TheBoss1693]

that was gay ross looked the other way

[seiver1088]

This is a retarded situation. In hockey, you try to create a forecheck, which includes checking along the boards. If you are stopping the puck behind your net when the other team is trying to establish this forecheck you better be prepared to get check. Kaleta didn't appear to intentionally hit Ross, it was an unfortunate situation, but Ross should have been aware and his team needed more communication.

[mgtissweet]

harvadelic22 ross turned his head at the last miniute and like a pussay didnt take the hit. Kaleta is just about 5 foot and hes wrecking the biggest guys in the nhl. He can obiously score he has 8 goals 2 shorthanded plus he was out for over 5 games

[harvadelic22]

how can you not understand what im saying just take the time to read it here ill summerize foryour dumbass.. kaleta is known for his hitting from behind. ross had no idea he was coming, if ross would have hit kaleta from behind you would be complaining that that was a cheap ass hit.. do you understand now pussy?

[slugger1983]

How is this hit ANY different then the one in the OHL?

The injury right?

[TheWhiteFactor]

pretty much the same hit, but liambas (hitter) was garbage anyway, no real need for him in the league if he's gonna skate end to end and launch himself into someone's numbers - thats not what hockey is about.

[souleater0815]

@slugger1983 True.

[jjsk8world]

cheap cock sucker... I guess he was out for blood since Ovi rocked him... LOL....

[gemsm]

Another lame ass call and another stupid player turning into the boards to avoid a hit...hockey players are getting dumber

[harvadelic22]

how you guna tell me i know nothing about hockey not once in my comment was there any knoledge in hockey you ignorant nigger, and no kaleta is known for hitting people from behind so shut the fuck up you little bitch watch when they show him close up ross had no idea he was coming cuz kaleta wants to make sure he doesnt see him so he can get the hit from behind and turtle from cote cuz hes soo tough i know! you cant back him up now if ross did this to kaleta you woud be sayin something different

[lilguapo89]

i wish i could understand what your saying harvadelic but this comment makes no sense at all. someone needs to go back to 2nd grade

[harvadelic22]

oh did he see watch it again fuckin moron he never even looked towards kaleta and which of course kaleta took that opportunity to hit him from behind cuz hes a little bitch then turtles against cote! what a fag hes almost as bad as crosby

[lilguapo89]

the fucker turned his back at the last second and he definatly knew kaleta was coming. kaleta had already comitted to the hit before the queer turned his back therefore its a fair hit. so don't act like you know bout hockey cuz apperantly you dont faggot

[nisocrew]

I played hockey with Jared Ross for 10 years. He not a queer and he didn't see that coming. If he did somehow see that, he sure didn't expect to get hit that hard when he was dumping it away. That was a pointless hit.

[dbzfanl]

Ross turned his back as he passed it away. That was his fault entirely, he saw he was being pinched from both sides.

[lilguapo89]

dbzfanl that is exactly what i'm saying! up top!hah

[slaughterer01]

@dbzfanl If you watch Ross, when it looks like he turned his back to Kaleta he is actually shotting, which turns your upper body to get a proper shot off.

[dbzfanl]

@slaughterer01 It's not about positioning it's about vision. He SAW it coming.

[zheitz1991]

@dbzfanl your a dumbass and have never played hockey before. you have to turn your shoulders if you want to clear the puck to that side.

[dbzfanl]

@zheitz1991 You start off with an insult and don't realize there's a good amount of time there to LOOK AROUND like a hockey player should do. I blame him entirely either way.

[vFuhMaZ]

@dbzfanl not his fault lol he wouldve hit him like that anyway u blind retard

[dbzfanl]

@vFuhMaZ You totally missed my comment. Doesn't matter if he was going to hit him or not, it was Ross' fault for not looking.

[soccrdrew98]

@dbzfanl You're a fucking idiot.

[dbzfanl]

@soccrdrew98 Thanks!

[downeyfan20]

yeah i'm not entirely sure if that should've been a two game suspension, Laraque gets 5, he gets 2, that's bull shit. Boarding call is when a guy is a couple feet from the boards and he is hit from behind so that his neck gets bent back...I don't think that should've been a suspension.

[Nslandes]

fucking dumbass dick... when are hockey players going to learn how checking from behind is really fucked up

[lilguapo89]

yet again,this wasnt an intentional hit from behind dumbass
