Near the end of the Buffalo Sabres' 3-1 win at the Montreal Canadiens on Tuesday night, Buffalo center Paul Gaustad started running his mouth near the Habs bench.
His target was Montreal's Max Pacioretty, and Gaustad went right for the jugular — or, at the very least, the neck
According to Mathieu Darche of the Canadiens (via CJAD), Gaustad and Pacioretty were arguing when the Sabres forward asked "Where's Chara? Where's Chara?"; a reference to that horrific scene in which Boston Bruins defenseman Zdeno Chara rode Pacioretty into the stanchion last season and onto a stretcher.
"I don't think it's right to talk about an incident where a guy broke his neck. I thought it was classless," said Darche after the game.
Said Montreal goalie Carey Price: "He's got a big mouth, and that's about it. He's got a big mouth and he likes to run it. Can't worry about what he's gotta say because he doesn't do much out there."
(Well, save for scoring the game-winning goal against the Habs and assisting on two others for a plus-3 … no, he's completely an afterthought.)
According to The Gazette, the Montreal bench got its own shots in on Gaustad:
The Canadiens got in a few verbal barbs of their own when they asked why Gaustad didn't stand up earlier this year when Boston's Milan Lucic ran over Sabres goaltender Ryan Miller.
We're sure the language was a little more colorful than that. Gaustad's version of the events, via the AP:
Gaustad was singled out among Sabres players on the ice at the time for not coming to Miller's defense. "They asked me where Lucic was and I asked them where they were with (Zdeno) Chara, so it's the same thing," Gaustad said.
These lovebirds meet again in Buffalo on Feb. 17.

Word from Montreal radio is that Pacioretti started in on Gaustad first with the Lucic/Miller thing and Gaustad responded with the Chara hit. Nice to see we are in their heads.

Pacioretty is a little turd and deserves everything he gets. He'll be Komisarek part 2 if he's ever stupid enough to say something when Lucic is on the ice.

My uncle used to tell me stories of what was said on the ice in the 60s and 70s that would sicken a longshoreman. i know right? heck everyone was calling each other a fucking faggot or aids victim back in the 90's. Didnt they suspend Avery last year for calling another player a fag? I laugh my ass off at that. How bout that Ask the Ref column on tsn where Andy tells storys of a player coming to him "with tears in his eyes" lulz asking him to tell the offending player to stop teasing.. right like that really happened lol maybe in the show they cry to the refs? I never saw it go down like that in the minors thats for sure.. More like the ref over hears two players going at it and tells them to knock it off and the players would say things like "why dont you just worry about getting your fat ass up the ice!" <<all time fav or my tried and true "go suck a dick!" Some refs would laugh at you or with you depending on the comment others would just skate away.. then of course theres the one hard ass who is going to give you a 10 min rest and then proceed to cry to your coach about how unpro your acting.. I did get lectured by Gino Binda once about how foul language wasnt good for the kids in the crowd to hear and I was like you do realize they can't hear us right and he says I swear to god I'm gonna tell your grandma! lol

I did get lectured by Gino Binda once about how foul language wasnt good for the kids in the crowd to hear and I was like you do realize they can't hear us right and he says I swear to god I'm gonna tell your grandma! lol That story was about dickbag Claude Lemieux and Matthew Barnaby if I remember correctly. Barnaby was giving him the business about his divorce and Claude went to Fraser, crying...literally. If it had been almost any other player, I might have felt bad for him, but since it was Pepe I found it amusing. It is difficult to separate the player on the ice with the person off it when they conduct themselves the way that they do while playing. So much of his 'game' tended to get personal. Between his constant spearing and dirty little jabs at Neely to rearranging Draper's face - especially that incident. I am sure if you asked Draper if he took that hit personally, his answer would be an emphatic yes. It's one thing to talk smack and get a bit personal while trying to get under someone's skin, it's another thing entirely to go after another player with intent to injure...and maybe even end their career.

The double edge sword regarding trash talk used to be that if you said something over the line, you better be prepared for any possible consequences. That is no longer the case and you can no longer beat the crap out of the big mouthed shitbag.
But I don't mind the clever, witty barbs going back and forth without a fight breaking out.

Cherry and Burke rumble in the jungle Considering Brian Burke's tendency to butt heads with members of the local media (not to mention everyone -- dude has beef with more people than a Calgarian), you had to know that, eventually, he was going to have a fallout with Don Cherry, a similarly disagreeable curmudgeon.
Disagreeable curmudgeons are like soulmates -- they tend to find one another. And, like most soulmates, eventually the relationship devolves into curmudgeonly disagreements.
So what's this disagreement about? According to a Toronto Sun report, Burke was upset about Cherry's recent criticism that Toronto Maple Leafs' coach Ron Wilson didn't applaud the troops at a recent pre-game ceremony appreciating the Armed Forces, and "raised the issue quietly and professionally," which is another way of saying sneakily. Unfortunately, someone leaked it.
It should go without saying that Cherry isn't a fan of sneakiness, primarily because the loudness of his voice and wardrobe makes sneaking an impossibility for him. So he did what he normally does, which is say loud, brash things in response. First, the Leafs are crummy:
"It is quite obvious what Brian is doing," said Grapes. "He is trying to deflect from his team's performance missing the playoffs three years running at my expense and to be a hero to his players at my expense."
Second, bring it, sucka:
Controversial hockey legend Cherry said he will not be muzzled, adding "if it's true" Burke went to CBC management, then "he's got to get in line to get me."
Third, Ron Wilson is crummy too:
But Tuesday, Cherry said: "I have to admit I lost twice to Montreal in the finals and lost again to Montreal in the semifinals seventh game in overtime but maybe Ron is right because since he has been with the Leafs he hasn't lost a playoff game."
Okay, that last one's hilarious.
Joe Warmington speculated that, perhaps, this is about Bell and Rogers wanting those Saturday night Leaf games on their own network instead of on the CBC. But that seems like a stretch. To me, this appears to be little more than two dudes being true to their respective natures.
It's all pretty silly, really. According to Cherry, it's also sad, because they used to be buds:
"But Brian Burke doesn't like me. That's the sad thing. We used to be the best of friends. I used to get St. Patrick's Day cards from him ... no more."
People send each other St. Patrick's Day cards? Huh.
Anyway. I think I speak for everyone when I say that I hope this ends in a rumble, either in a barn or a jungle. Or on a rap album.

My guess is that even without another Cup or Norris, he's in. The giant story just has HHOF feel-goodery written all over it. Plus the all star games, hardest shot, long hard road to success.

The giant story just has HHOF feel-goodery written all over it. Plus the all star games, hardest shot, long hard road to success. If he were to quit tomorrow, he'd probably get in. I just figured I'd give him slam dunk status. In reality, he should already have 2 Norris. Last year he was far and away the most dominant he's been ever - much of which was carried over this year. Lidstrom really had no business winning it last year. I'd like to know who the yahoos were that gave Yandle, Letang, and Visnovsky first place votes and beat the crap out of them for being stupid.
