Briere gets a two game vacation.

[Flyersrockz]

beauty briere

[speedersean]

should never have left buffalo

[TheStonerFTW]

Briere is a PUSSY. Run away after you high stick someone like a little bitch.

Sad. Like all americans. Take the easy way out. xD

[Blaze1319]

@TheStonerFTW Too bad Briere is French Canadian.

[TheStonerFTW]

@Blaze1319 Too bad you're gay.

[XXPAtDxoxBrendonUrie]

@TheStonerFTW briere isnt american .. lol

[PiFuenftel]

@XXPAtDxoxBrendonUrie canada is not a part of america? O.O

[XXPAtDxoxBrendonUrie]

@PiFuenftel lol no , its a completely different country. you need a passport to get in itttt , yo .

[PiFuenftel]

@XXPAtDxoxBrendonUrie i know which countrys belong to the USA (and which do not). but apparently american means "US- citizen", not "person who lives on the american (be it north or south) continent".... sorry, i didnt know that.

[XXPAtDxoxBrendonUrie]

@PiFuenftel USA is a country in its own. it was states in it. Canada is a completely different country. they just border each other. he is from canada.

[PiFuenftel]

@XXPAtDxoxBrendonUrie ok you obviously didt get my sarcasm in the last sentence. ;) i know tat canada is a different country and i know that briere is not from the usa.... i just played a wordgame with "american". we can go on discussing this thing or stop it right now^^

[XXPAtDxoxBrendonUrie]

@PiFuenftel lol sorry i get defensive when it comes to Briere. i just love him too much. no hard feelings(: lol

[mclovintheflyers]

not worth a two game vacation... wasnt even cheap

[EyesOfTheSouthSTi]

@mclovintheflyers hahah shut up you homer. leaving your feet and leading with the elbow is extremely cheap. shit team supported by shit fans in a shit city.

[Losingstreakk]

@EyesOfTheSouthSTi we've got the best fuckin fan base in the league faggot

[EyesOfTheSouthSTi]

@Losingstreakk no you don't. You have the most classles fan base in the league. Your response proved it. grow the fuck up douchebag.

[Losingstreakk]

@EyesOfTheSouthSTi no matter how our team is doing, we sell out the wachovia/wells fargo center. and the only reason the rest of the league thinks our fans don't have class is because we're fuckin passionate and aren't afraid to hit obnoxious bitches in the mouth, can't say the same for the rest of you guys...

[EyesOfTheSouthSTi]

@Losingstreakk does not indicate class as a fan. hahah dude you wouldn't hit shit. I lived near philly and worked at the Flyers skatezone in Vorhees where they practice. You idiots are all fucking talk. Especially an emo looking fag like yourself.

[Losingstreakk]

@EyesOfTheSouthSTi hmm, lets look at the music you listen to. you seem like an angry person. therefore, you're emo. what person that isn't emotionally disturbed listens to that shit? dude, just because my hairs long doesn't mean shit. and you're obviously lying because the fans that i've been around and see aren't all talk. we're passionate, that's all it is. thank god you don't live there anymore. we don't need shitbags like you in our state.

[EyesOfTheSouthSTi]

@Losingstreakk lmao. Learn what emo is dumb ass. What I listen to does not indicate what type of person I am you fucking moron. Also I said you LOOK like an emo you dumb fuck. Learn how to read. Your state is shit to begin with if I actually lived there I would up the level of class there. They are all talk fans that are classless piece of shit. Guy lock yourself in a closet and cry about it some more.

[stickwithme4life]

send briere back to buffalo when he was amazing, he's been spending too much time with hartnell and carcillo :p

[ianchristie17]

I love that because Ovie is a superstar everyone here tries to defend him. Every big name player has controversial things,Crosby punches guys who have there heads down,Ovie get some elbows up, all NHLers do it. Now is time for superstars to stop being protected because the NHL is afraid of losing money, as apparently all that is on the owners minds is money, not the game. It time for Colin Campbell to become a man and start suspending anyone who makes a dirty play, intentional or unintentional.

[Br3nd3n14]

only reason he went to philly was cause of gagne already being there he would of been montreal Canadian if it wasnt for him lol

[gunna34]

boohooo...

[foil66]

This little guy cracks me up! He reminds me of the little engine that could when I see him with the Flyers jersey on. With the exception of last year's train wreck...

[wasted13potential]

for real, what is up with briere actually playing with a flyers attitude as of late...i kinda like it

[hockeyrox11]

Not clean, but not worth a suspension

[gdavies4]

@hockeyrox11 probably was a suspension... high(very) elbow...

[itsgaythatyourgay]

briere's a bitch, he's suckin it up in my fantasy

[stevothesnoopTV]

because we should care

and this doesnt relate to itsgaythatyourgay but its really not a big deal what briere did, if he didnt score it would have been a highlight hit, he was just going so fast probably concentrated on the player and didnt even realize he scored

[itsgaythatyourgay]

all I said was he's suckin' it up in my fantasy

[damooae12]

late hit. high hit. should've been a charging penalty, but not a suspension.

[hockeysbeastmode]

briere is now officially a flyer. GO FLYERS!

[icehockeykidd15]

u guys are all talkin about shit about briere when ovechkin had a cheap hit on him.

[scumatron]

@icehockeykidd15 yeah, the ovechkin hit was a thing of beauty wasn't it! =)

[bags258]

@icehockeykidd15 Don't forget Briere speared Ovechkin in the nuts too.

[conservakid85]

@bags258

Yeah in retaliation for Ovechkin boarding him as he was heading off the ice for a line change.

[bags258]

@conservakid85 Yeah, what a tough way to retaliate. When Richards nearly killed Booth, Booth decided to drop the gloves with him when they met again. He did it the right way, didn't jump him he said he wanted to go and they went. If Briere wanted revenge he should have done it with a clean body check or fought him. Spearing someone is just as gutless as boarding them on a line change

[timmyv38]

@icehockeykidd15 Yeah, but Ovie doesn't do it repeatedly. All Ovie did was tap Briere from behind - it was bad timing.

[freydey]

@timmyv38 yeah ovie is so clean?? WTF

[Swizzy]

@timmyv38 LOL bad timing? Should we look at the replay again, where Ovie sees Briere dump the puck and slow down in front of the Buffalo bench (Gee I wonder why he could be doing?) then proceeds to hit him in the back? Or should I link you to about 3 other dirty plays from Ovie on other players?

[buttkick22]

@timmyv38 ovechkin has a long consistent record of dirty hits. Just look around. It's pretty common knowledge

[meanwiddlekid]

The pussy that never hits puts on a flyer jersey and gives a cheap shot..

[ovechkin218]

haha wow i didnt no danny had the balls to hit someone

[buttkick22]

def a dirty hit......but it def wasn't late

[syclone1931]

what ever happened to letting the players govern themselves?

Bettman and Campbell have done nothing but ruin the game. Let's just suspend everyone! yeah that will clean up the league!

If anyone here is old enough to remember the NHL before Bettman ruined it you wouldve seen a hit like this and then a swarm of Avs players all over him and Briere would be watching his back the rest of the game waitin to taken out.

this game is just a disaster since the lockout.

[brentsexington]

too bad thats not late at all

[brierefan4ever]

thats a bull shit suspension!!!!

[Los90]

Looks like Briere is officially turning into what Flapper players play like. On the edge assholes

[Woodley56Steelers]

Briere left his feet and Richards didn't. Briere gets the suspension. im a big briere fan and i love is more aggresive and sorta dirty side this year. keep tring. Go Flyers

[bedece1]

Boosted.. I have no problem with Briere's suspension. He left his feet to make the hit. Richards didn't leave his feet, so no suspension.

[bedece1]

Portus.. Exactly what have the Caps ever won? Oh that's right.. nothing. You really shouldn't be talking about other teams playoff runs when your team has only made the finals once only to get swept..

[BoostedTC]

Why would someone give Hartnell a break? Hartnell is the dirtiest player in the league, hell he fuckin BITES players!

So why would the refs EVER feel bad for Hartnell??

So Briere gets 2 games, yet Richards gets nothing?? Hmmm ok, looks pretty much the same thing

Pussy ass Flyers

[mynameisbob3]

yea sure dud e you probably like the capitals or penguins. they are fucking pussies

[tomasz2]

you are an idiot

[Portis1Luv]

yeah, as evidenced by your last two forays into the playoffs and about 30 years of absolute futility when it counts. Pussies lose.

[Sabrestrainsfan]

same old Philly, brand new Briere but wait, he's cheap too

[efs5030]

@Sabrestrainsfan

wow way to be the medias tool and a follower get your own opinion, you gotta hate on Philly because they made the playoffs

[bedece1]

I'm assuming since Poritis1luv hates the Flyers and Portis plays for the Redskins, he or she is a Caps fan. If that is so, my only comment would be to ask what have the Caps EVER done during playoffs than early golf round tee offs?

[Portis1Luv]

Typical Flyers, have a long vacation come playoff time ya bastards.

[CittenX3]

oh yeah typical flyers. maybe if briere wasnt like 5'10, yes he left his feet but get over the flyers being a dominantly physical team pussy. i look at it and yes good call on the suspension. but people like to look at any flyers hit and say SUSPENSION!! right away. only because we shit on people day in and day out

[naturalhat]

The briere hattrick a goal(he got 2) a assist(he got two) and get a suspension all in One game

[naturalhat]

If the shot was not a goal...the hit would not even been looked at...but the puck went in so that makes the hit late ummmm no...

[avaguiar]

Not a late hit but he sure tried to hit Hannan's head...well suspended

[bedece1]

Briere left his feet which warrented the suspension. But what amazes me is that earlier in the game, Hartnell gets crosschecked in the back of the neck after a goal.. no penalty. Carter gets checked from behind into the boards near the end of the game.. no penalty. Where's the consistancy?

[LibraryTech666]

I'll agree with that. The game is so different now. In the '80's and '90's they called cross checking all the time. Now, I never see cross checking called...That's something I don't get. Someone please explain! lol.

[Hollywood42]

2 goals 2 assists and 2 games suspension that night

danny briere is the man

[rictele60]

if this was the playoffs, they wouldn't even look at this crap. but i will agree he left his feet and hit his head. but the hit was weak, like a gnat!

[LeafsFanInOttawa]

What a dumb play by Briere. What goes through your head when you do that?

[infinitig3niu5]

I don't think anyone should be arguing if it was a late hit or not, because it wasn't. The problem is that he left his feet and lead with his elbow. I'm not saying I believe there was intent to injure, but Briere knew Hannan never saw him and still did this. Cheap shot that deserved to be suspended.

[beansthe23]

Wow that was lame, weak!!! i've seen phaneuf with dirtier hits & not get suspended

[h0twire15]

As a Pens fan I see a charge, not a late hit.

[paok88]

1 second after he releases puck = late hit.....lol

[psinevercared]

How are you going to suspend Briere, a completely clean player, for this hit, yet not call a penalty for it during the game. I'm going to have to go and agree completely with billydagr on this one. Put Briere in a Penguins jersey and this hit would have been fine. And seriously, Briere's all of 5'10", suck it up.

[LibraryTech666]

Malkin has gotten suspended. Hell I watched him play t-ball with a Calgary defensemen's head, make a shot on goal, then played t-ball with Kip's head. lol.

[billydagr8]

this is the big dirty hit everyone has a stink about??? if you get injured on a hit by BRIERE of all people... dont show up to play hockey. hes 170 lbs soaking wet. weak suspension, if briere was wearing a penguins jersey he wouldnt get any suspension (aka Matt Cooke/Chris Kunitz/Evgeni Malkin)

[lnopia]

170lbs can create alot of force when your head is looking at the goal you just scored. It was a cheap shot forsure

[dreamw18]

briere deserves his "vacation"

[timpala55]

Who deserves it?

[dreamw18]

first view? damn lol, well the dudes a dirt bag and deserves it
