Andrew Shaw

After years of Habs players being the nails it's nice to have a couple of hammers at our disposal for a change. The league doesn't give a shit about cheap shots so why not use them as a weapon like everyone else?
 
Meh, he was just introducing himself to the fans. No harm done.

the Habs twitter verse was none too pleased with him.

Our fan base is full of weenies. We want toughness and grit but the second it happens, we turn on our own. BruinFan, FlyerFan, RangerFan would never have ripped on Shaw for what he did.
 
I'm not suggesting I would change allegiance because of Shaw. I just don't feel the need of praising him for hitting a player from behind and then doing a WWE wrestler impression during the fight.

yup it was like watching a thinner Chris Jerico on the ice .

I know he was showboating but I chuckled. Heaven forbid a player has a personality. One way ticket to Nashville apparently.
 
I agree though, better one of our guys hits one from behind into the boards than ours getting the same treatment,

Quite the logic.
A guy with 300+NHL games runs a teenager and junior d-man from behind, classy move of course, explain that one to the youngsters out there... If someone trips you, you run a different but defenceless player from behind and ham it up afterwards.

Do you walk on water?
 
Not a fan of that hit at all. It was dumb and he deserves a suspension. Maybe 2-3 games.

I do like that he plays with an edge though. I hope he doesn't go over the edge too often.
 
I don't care anymore. The league clearly doesn't care about the risks, the players don't respect each other enough not to hit each other this way so why should I care? All I want is for the Habs to be dishing them out instead of always taking them for a change.
