I love the guy. Now that they are showing the replay during intermission it looks like he didnt try to spear the hell out of him but more like just a stick to the chest. Dumont will be back in the game soon

At least I'm not the only one.

If he was on the Sabres, you guys would be howling about him. The only reason you like is because he's your goon.

Gauthier is seriously a joke. I cant believe how he keeps getting off the hook with hits. The one that pissed me off is when he runs Wellwood from behind and then says sorry right after like he didnt mean to do it. RIGHT BUDDY!

Actually most Flyer fans I know that actually know the game think Brashear's pretty much brutal.

No, no I wouldn't be howling. I like Gauthier, he's a good player, just everyone sees the couple bad things he's done and boom, he's a bad player.

[Chadd 916]

He was doing it when he was in the west as well, most of us just weren't seeing it every night. That's the key for me too, it's happening in EVERY game. Sure a guy may do something once a year and it was an accident or a slip. When a guy is doing something virtually every game that he could be suspended for, it's not just a couple things. The worst part is he's actually a half-decent player in terms of skills.

If Brashear never wears a Flyers jersey again it would be too soon.

I don't think the spear was intentional. He wasn't looking at him and I think he just tried to get a stick on him to know where he was.

The feeling here is that Dumont was embellishing a lot but I don't think so. He almost fell over going to the bench so I think he was legitimately hurt.

But he was back playing like nothing happened in the third period

Yeah but that doesn't mean he didn't get the wind knocked out of him.

Where did he get it? I didn't get a good look, but when I saw it it looked like he got speared in the nuts, which could explain the writhing in pain and quick recovery...

Looked like it was right below the shoulder pads. He missed the rest of the period so it wasn't a "quick" recovery.

[Miserable 6]

I saw somewhere that it hit him where he had some surgery and that it caused a lot of pain that went away after a while. Just scaned the article so I don't have all the details.

Looks like even Dumont realized it wasn't intentional even though his idiot coach doesn't but that might be more gamesmanship then anything else:

Dumont wasn't so sure Gauthier's jab was intentional.

"He's got a reputation, but I don't think he would use a stick like that," Dumont said. "It's part of hockey. We go on the ice and play hard."

He left his feet, otherwise there's no call.
