Halpern Runs Into Andrew Ference (Game 7, Bruins-Canadiens, 4-27-2011)

Only in the NHL could Player A not watch where he's going and skate into the shoulder of Player B -- who isn't even moving -- only to have Player B get hauled in for a league disciplinary hearing the next day to review his "flagrantly violent hit."

Just want to announce that MrH4bs has been blocked from further comments here. Opinions on this play and on hockey in general -- even wrong ones -- are always welcome. But if you bash the United States of America you are dead to me.

what a fucking dirty ass hit

[bigbrotherlop87]

Ference saw that Halpern wasn't looking at him, changed direction to hit on the head in a cheap sneaky dirty play. If the Bruins want to play a robust, hard hitting game, I'm all for that. I love big hits. But that? That's just dirty. That's a cheap shot and shows a lack of respect for your opponent that I am tired of seeing in hockey.

@patsbruinssox1988 i agree! i mean its hockey it HAPPENS!!!

@MrH4bs Montreal is overrated with their knowledge of hockey. Eh, the Habs won eh, lets go burn the city. What? It was only the first round? Oh well, lets riot anyway. Oh, there was a hit, lets call 911, that is the most logical thing to do. Wah, our player got hurt, we are arresting you eh.

@MrH4bs Well aren't you just the ignorant one. My nationality has nothing to do with my hockey knowledge. I've been watching hockey for 18 years now so I think I know a thing or two. Just cause you're Canadian you think you know more about hockey than I do? That's a crock of shit. You just can't accept the fact that your team is full of pussies that have to resort to diving to draw weak penalties to win games.

@Josh218512 lol he ference obviously stoppe and moved his sholder right in his face. I wont argue with you anymore its a waste of time talking to americans that doesnt know shit about hockey...

[Josh218512]

@MrH4bs Ohh please Halpern skated into that hit. Ference barely even moved his arm. I hope Subban and the rest of that diving team enjoy the links while the Bruins are still in the playoffs. And besides, we saved your city tax dollars by winning that series cause we all know how Habs fans celebrate winning a series in the streets!

@hockeymanley It's actually Colin Campbell and he is not involved in any disciplinary situations that involve a Bruins player

@HestoriaPoductions i wasn't saying Jack Campbell makes the ruling on suspensions, but his dad does. All I am saying is it is a little suspicous that his dad rules the suspensions and the Bruins didn't get suspended this year
