  1. @kidmoe28 — no I wouldn't want a guy that lost most of his fights on my team on a flyers homer would and I don't care how old and how big he is.. other smaller players like Domi & Jonathan fought all the time and beat up on bigger opponents.

  2. gudbranson towers over rinaldo and has a lot more wieght on him props to rinaldo for hangin in there a big guy like that shouldve ko'd him with that right, buddies got cottonballs for fists

  3. @NHLbrawler While I certainly agree that there have been small tough fighters– (PJ stock, George Mcphee, Rick Rypien etc.) if size didnt matter there would be no weight classes in boxing and mma. As far as being a flyer fan…. I make no apologies… nor does it affect my judgement. I am a hockey fan first.. Rinaldo clearly needs to improve and pick his opponents better. But smaller players like the ones you and I mentioned and color and character to the game. Its hard to root against them

  4. @kidmoe28 — I forgot about Rypien he was a small guy but man could he fight also Prust from the Rangers falls into that class… as for Rinaldo… only a flyers fan I don't know why would appreciate this guy… he's only beaten Horton from the Bruins the rest of his fights he's getting pummeled.. I wouldn't want him on my team.

  5. If my stats serve me correctly, Goodbrandson was a top pick but #3 overall for Florida was Jonathan Huberdeau….looks tought though!

  6. @Lucicwouldkillyoutoo I realize you are only capable of tired, cliché homophobic references. Now I know it would be a big step out of your intellectual comfort zone. But please allow me to help you. Open up google and type in the word “dictionary” I suggest starting with the letter "A". Good luck little guy!! I believe in you!

  7. @Lucicwouldkillyoutoo "yuo" and "aked"….Hmmmmmm…. Struggling with basic words I see…Maybe I overestimated your brain capacity? We have a lot of work to do. Perhaps we should start with identification of shapes and colors. It’s ok though… the world needs ditch diggers… Keep reaching for the stars little one!!!!!! Busting you up like this is quite fun… Though, truth be told, you really aren't much of a challenge

  8. @Lucicwouldkillyoutoo Let me just say that I am VERY proud of you! You avoided your bread and butter- incest, pederasty and homosexual acts! Everything was spelled correctly and the grammar was solid! To avoid potential problems you stuck to short sentences … a key for anyone learning to write. In your 3rd sentence I would have found a different word for 'rage" though. You already used it. Nevertheless, a solid effort, you definitely should get some ice cream after dinner for this big guy!!

  9. @Lucicwouldkillyoutoo That's TWO posts in a row with no glaring errors!!!! Maybe I shouldn’t brag but I do believe our exchange has helped you improve your writing. Who knows, maybe in due time a thumb might protrude from your paw enabling you to grip objects. Wouldn’t that be exciting? Please forgive me, but I must take my leave of you. My work here is done. Never forget this time we had to together… The learning, the laughing (at your expense but whatever). Gods speed keyboard warrior!

  10. One thing about flyer fans on the internet, they will ALWAYS say their fighter won… this is why no one takes them seriously.

  11. @Flyers20Fan i can think of at least 5 times i saw rinaldo get a "charging" or "interference" penalty for a completely legal (and sometimes not even that devastating) hit. And i don't regularly watch philly games so i can only imagine how many more times it happened. Pat kaleta get the same treatment. It can be very frustrating.

  12. @BoSoxnation1972 Touche! But Im not sure I am going to take your post too seriously considering you cant spell "the". Why dont you ROTFLMAO on that! By the way… ROTFLMAO??? Really? Arent you a little too old to be using such phrases? And for the record… The little rascals RULED and you know it! It would be my pleasure to be in such good company!

  13. I'm a Blues fan, and I have to say that I f love watching Rinaldo on the ice! That guy back down from no one even if he know that he gonna lose the fight. Reminds me a little bit of the best agitators of all time – Matthew Barnaby! Not like Sean Avery who never stood up for what he did and fought like a man.

  14. @BoSoxnation1972 I was taking this seriously? Isnt the nature of teasing to use mistakes and weaknesses against someone? I am quite sure that "teh" doesnt speak to a lack of intelligence for you.. Also, I was not under the impression that 1972 referred to your birth. I assumed, incorrectly i guess, that you werent a 15 year old girl. Can you think of another age range that uses LMFAO, ROTLFMAO, LMAO? Be honest…You give yourself a high-five when you think youve posted something clever dont you?

  15. @Flyers20Fan He definitely has balls, I think people are very quick to trash him because he's a small agitator type player. I don't really mind him though. The only thing I've seen him do this year that really bothered me was when he slewfooted Parise.

  16. when will gubranson fight someone tough thats close to his size? only props for rinaldo to accept the fight offer from the bigger gubranson in a 3-0 game in the 3rd and then kept fightign after getting dropped

  17. obvious size mismatch but i give Gudbranson credit he's 19 years old and picking fights with the nastier players like Downie and Rinaldo

  18. those players are also 5 inches shorter .. hes a tough kid but every guy he fights seems to be at least 3-4 inches shorter

  19. Good fucking match. I love Rinaldo and Gudbranson did a fine job lighting him up. On the other side I always think Rinaldo is a crazy motherfucker for fighting someone so big regardless of how young/old.
