No matter what happens, it always turns into some childish argument with name calling and stuff. Are the people arguing about his 12 years old? If you are calling Mark Eaton a pussy, you don't know what kind of player he is. He is not a fighter, he's not that big of a guy, but he blocks a hell of a lot of shots, it seems pretty juvenile to call someone a pussy who stands in front of hundred mile an hour slapshots.

This is Crosby's fault too? LOL.

Eaton's a pussy for trying to evade the hit? They got there at the same time, what are you seeing that no one else does? Eaton's statement was that he didn't see Orr until the last second.

Tortorella is pissed for a reason. That isn't worth 5 minutes, but just a 2 minute interference call. Just becasue there was blood, the refs overreacted!

Orr was going for the check before Eaton turned away from Orr and towards the boards. Maybe a 2-minute boarding call, at worst/best.

Can't believe we're still talking about this, hahaha. Hockey is awesome.

2 minute minor penalty warranted. 5 minutes...child please.

orr hit him in the shoulder and he ducked face first into the boards.. dumb play by eaton

[vicusvita]

@nmeyer89 He didnt hit Eaton with his stick, Eaton turned just a Orr was about to hit him and Eatons face hit where the boards meet the glass. And if you do make someone bleed with a highstick generally its a 4 minute double minor not a game misconduct unless its like a vicious two hander. Anyway Orr shouldn't have been thrown out for that hit. In the words of John Tortorella "What the fuck is that?"

[100percentguitarded]

hmm. well thats a really bullshit call.

[jaygeoff111]

its not rare for a five min major or and game misconduct

[kayakclif]

Hockey Fights should not be allowed either. It's elementary....if a 1 "Check" ins not allowed....THEN why allow an all out fist punch. HOCKEY ROCKS...Fighting SUCKS.

[MrPetecan]

orr is a mental case.........

[nmeyer89]

"Bad call" or not, when you hit someone with your stick intentionally or not, and they bleed, you're out of the game

@ts15210 Yea, thats why I mainly listen to the radio during games, Lange and Bourque are the way to go.

But then again, FSN Pittsburgh is only for the Pittsburgh area, so it's kinda hard not for them to be biased, or some fans would go after them. So, they basically say what the fans want to hear.
