Status of Footer & Pegs?

[C.J.B.T]

Anyone know the status of Pegs & Footer?

[cbuckser]

After missing several minutes, Dan Pegoraro returned to the game later in the third period.

Carefoot did not look good.  He got kicked on the play.

[LynahFaithfulS]

From my seat I couldn't see what happened, and was really confused until I saw the guys leaving the ice.  From reading various threads here, I get that Pegs and Carefoot got hit/kicked.  Is there anything else to say about it?

Carefoot got a knee to the thigh, and has a bad charliehorse. Might not see him next weekend.

I did see the play, and it was dirty, or at the very least, extremely reckless.  A good example of Feola having no fucking clue what was going on.  Leg-on-leg hits are as dangerous as hockey gets; I think we all know how serious the effects of knee injuries can be (see:  Nieuwendyk, Joe).

Where did that hit happen? I remember seeing a something close to knee to knee and turning to a friend and saying that should've been called, and in the NHL would have. The one I saw happened near center ice, but I never really looked to see who the Cornell player was.

Comely on the Pegoraro incident that gave Abdelkader the DQ:

[Q]Comley was shocked at the penalty call.

"It was a clean hit,'' he said. "He hit him hard and the Cornell player's (facemask) is what caused him to be cut.''[/Q]

[calgARI '07]

It is likely what happened.  Feola of course did not see the play and basically just guessed what had happened.  If MSU hadn't been leading by 2 goals at the time, no way does he make any sort of call.  I personally didn't see the play and it may have warranted a 5 and a game, but my point is that Feola never saw it and didn't put his arm up at any point, signalling a penalty.  Just another example of completely inadequate officiating this weekend.  

[Harrier]

the kid drove pegs' face into the boards dasher with his full weight behind it.  Pegs had just mishandled the penalty shot cut towards the boards and was turning up Ice near the hashmark.  He deserved the 5 and 10.  The blood likely induced the DQ.  It was definitely a cheap shot and the puck was not there anymore anyway.

That's the one, happened I think just within a minute or so before Pegs got hurt.

This whole thread serves to illustrate exactly the type of dirty hits (among a handful of others) and subsequent unremorseful reactions that make CCHA teams and their coaching staffs a conference full of goons and thugs. According to Comley, we couldn't play in their league b/c we hit too hard/much… touché, and they in ours. We play hard hitting and for the most part clean by-the-book hockey. They, on the other hand, play with their skill and an amazing reckless dirty abandon. This team reminded me of the goons that Brown has put on the ice over the past 2-3 seasons. I'm glad to see them go back where people have no choice but to tolerate their shit.
There's the door boys ...

I didn't see the hit on Pegs, but from when it happened, it had to be out of the play.  Abdelkader was a huge goon the whole weekend, I was surprised he didn't get tossed Friday night for going after Mckee.

On the video archive replay (shortly after the 2:27 mark), Pegoraro swung toward his left after missing on his breakaway, and an MSU player followed him toward the boards very determinedly.  The camera moved away so you can't see what really happened, but he must have smashed Pegs into the boards/glass.  The puck was long gone from Pegs by then, so it really was a cheap shot.  Comley's statement about it being a clean hit is simply absurd--but then he did come across this weekend as a first-class jerk.
