Bickel was being grabbed and persued by two wings before he even got to Smith, no chance.

And Ericsson was on Brandon Smith in no time. Notice on the glass he's surrounded by Wangs. Unrealistic. Now Mayers could have jumped off the bench and bowled them all over. Kicking all of their asses. Thats what Scott would have done.

Yeah I'm pretty sure I saw several immediate scuffles afterwards, but all 4 refs were there eeeeemeeeeeediately.



I had to dislike rep you for that usage because of where it comes from. Other than that I agree.

Bullshit. Bickell and Bolland were near each other after the hit - both in clear view of the play in front of them. Ericsson had went to the puck and turned up ice.



There was plenty of time to have gotten to him, before the refs, and everyone came together.



Yes, in the corner when everyone was huddled, he was grabbed/people were in between Smith and rest of the Hawks - but he had plenty of time to do something seeing it happen right in front of him.

Here's Bolland right next to him - no one in between. And at the time of the hit, Bickell (since he plays small, his name shall be written small)

that's funny because I don't see Bickell in that picture... In the video, he is already being grabbed to slow him down at this point. And what you failed to mention is the first thing Bolland did is slashed the stick out of his hands at there. But it's already been mentioned that no one wants to see Bolland fight. I guess with a history of back problems, and concussions getting in a fight in preseason. Yeah genius.

I'll plus one you for the minus one for your use of the Eddie.



Personally I don't want Bolland getting in a fight with some AHL hack. TYVM. He most definitely slashed at him, watch the replay. Also in the replay Bickell is NO WHERE around. Watch it again. Then they ALL go towards the glass. where Several Wang are between Smith and the Hawks. Which is where Seabrook got his penalty. I would prefer NONE of our guys go fucking around with AHL players, with no chance to make the show, right before the fucking season starts.



All we need is MORE starters out. Before the show even begins.



I'll Bullshit PMS and Bullshit him again.

Yeah genius, did you read where I said several times I wouldnt want Bolland to fight? He'd be lucky to play 50 games as it is.

You said you dont' want him to fight but you continue to ridicule him for being close and doing nothing?

BICKELL - BICKELL - BICKELL



HE WAS 10 FEET NEXT TO BOLLAND. WATCH THE VIDEO.



I WANTED BICKELL TO DO SOMETHING CONSTRUCTIVE IN A GAME OTHER THAN TAKE WRIST SHOTS FROM THE PERIMETER. I ONLY HAD THAT PICTURE OF BOLLAND TO SHOW HE GOT TO SMITH WITH NO ONE NEAR HIM. BICKELL AT THE START OF THE PLAY WAS EVEN WITH BOLLAND AND DOES NOTHING - DISAPPEARS. ALL THE WINGS WERE TURNING UP ICE AND THE PLAY WAS RIGHT IN FRONT OF.....BICKELL.....HE WAS ACTUALLY CLOSEST TO SMITH, BUT SMITH HAD TIME TO TURN, SKATE IN FRONT OF HIS OWN NET NEAR BOLLAND...PASSING...GET READY....BICKELL.



WATCH THE VIDEO AND EXPLAIN HOW BICKELL HAD THE ENTIRE PLAY IN FRONT OF HIM AND SMITH FINISHED THE HIT, WENT ALL THE WAY FROM THE BOTTOM OF ONE FACE OFF CIRCLE, TURN, GO IN FRONT OF HIS NET, PAST BOLLAND, TO THE OTHER BOARDS WHERE PEOPLE GATHERED....AND BICKELL WAS BEING HELD BACK FROM GETTING TO HIM, THROUGH ALL THAT?



THE PICTURE I SHOWED WAS INTENDED TO SHOW NO ONE - OTHER THAN BOLLAND - NEAR SMITH PROTECTING HIM FROM GETTING CHALLENGED, JUMPED, HIT, ETC



I WANTED....AND GET READY....BICKELL TO INSTIGATE A FIGHT. A WING SHOULD HAVE HAD TO FIGHT....BICKELL...FROM KEEPING HIM FROM GETTING AT SMITH

Hey asshole PMS can you make that text a little bigger. It all reads BLABLABLABLABLABLABLABLA......

Clown Shoes.





As Bickell is skating down once Smith wipes out Smith the Wang behind Bickell grabs ahold of him. I suppose he should have broken away from one to head towards another.



Unless my DVR is fucked it's pretty clear he's held. The only one that had a clear shot was Bolland.

What would it achieve if somebody went after Smith? Against a player that the Hawks will probably never see again nonetheless. Nothing. It doesn't do anything. It changes nothing. Whether or not a player "kicks the shit outtta someone" or not doesn't prove or disprove that the Hawks care any more or any less about Ben Smith. I've always seen that as ridiculous. It's not going to stop dirty hits from taking place, because fights get started over CLEAN hits, which is just as ridiculous and it doesn't stop those from happening either.

Over clean hits? No...over dirty hits especially in a preseason game - yes.



2 wings on him? Or Darren fucking Helm grabbing his arm? I see Seabrook trying to get away from Ericsson - who is a big guy - has him bear hugged, but 5'10 Darren Helm is "holding" (and I use that loosely) back 6'4 Bickell - who still had his gloves on, and possibly holding his stick still, dont want to lose that and have to go find it later I guess.



Ericsson went for the puck immediately (and no Eddie voice) after the play and Helm first turned up ice and while Bickell was facing the play and yes, grabbed Bickells wrist. Apparently, he has a grip like TCD to hold Bickell back by the arm.



Somebody on the Wings should have had to fight for that - willing or not.
