Re: The NHL Thread
An explanation doesn't = an excuse for being ignorant. It just explains why he's ignorant. No one is saying it excuses him from facing repercussions or that he shouldn't feel remorse for what he said.
When you look at sports, they are inherently more insensitive and ignorant to social issues. They are manly institutions that are rooted in the bigotry of our country during the 18-1900's. That stuff has trickled through to today. Be it equating player safety when sliding into bases to "wearing dresses" like the Blue Jays manager did, equating women to weakness. Or players using the term fag as an insult, whether it's in hockey or in basketball when Rondo did it earlier this year. That's actually how shit is, it's not an excuse, it's an explanation. His emotions probably did get the best of him, and his natural reaction was to yell an insult, a word that's been regularly thrown around in locker rooms as an insult for decades. I'm not saying that makes it right, it's just what happened. He's been suspended, fined, made public statements and then when out of his way to find a homosexual member of the media afterwards to apologize and tell him that's not the kind of guy he is. What else are you expecting from him? On another note the conversation around "fag" always reminds me of this South Park episode http://youtu.be/yskrelBCD0g |
Re: The NHL Thread
A couple takes:
-Laughton hit was scary but nothing dirty. Just a shove and he caught an edge. Just a dangerous part of the ice. -Good for Shaw. It doesn't matter if he knows he has to see that reporter in the next years or not. That takes being a grown up. I've been in his situation before having said stuff that I should never have in the heat of the moment and I've felt awful after. I like Shaw as a player and I hope he grows from it. -Schenn a dirty player? Shut the fuck up Brohan, seriously. Go learn what a Gordie Howe hat trick is and then maybe the adults will let you sit at the big table. |

sure, i've regretted saying some things before but i can't think of a time where shortly after it happened i completely forget what i said. i don't believe he forgot what he said for one minute and yea, i'm glad he apologized. it was the right thing to do at that point. i'm just not going to give him a free pass and brush it off as an "explanation". thats all im saying |

As for meltdowns - I recall a soccer game I played in HS where we lost to a very inferior team in OT during a rainstorm. I was 18 and some reporter came up to my soaking wet and muddy ass and he asked me how I felt. I snapped and ranted every curse I could think of in a matter of 45 seconds. 10 minutes later I knew I had flown off the handle due to frustration but I had no idea exactly what I said. |
Re: The NHL Thread
Ok so everyone agrees on Laughton, good. So if the Flyers win Game 5 how much worry will Caps fans feel?

Kings v. Sharks was fun to watch last night. always like the atmosphere in the Shark Tank for the playoffs, especially against L.A. it's not that the Kings look terrible, but the Sharks are a terrible matchup for the Kings this year. They skate better, possess the puck better and are just cleaner all around (line changes, special teams etc) glad i stayed up to watch the whole game though fucking playoffs make me so tired for work :lol |

Re: The NHL Thread
summary of last night
-no bracelets, just t shirts -gotta say having been to a couple playoff games before in the lots and concourse before the game this did not feel like a playoff game at all. atmosphere was very blah. Ghost goal energized everyone . -having not agreed with bringing in Neuvirth, he played great -that 3rd pd was unreal as far as the ice tilt. Our seats are on the side of the ice the Flyers shoot at twice and I swear there was no action in our zone for more than a total of 2 minutes of the entire 3rd. if that game went 2 mins longer caps woulda tied it... and prob ended the series in OT. Flyers have a tendency to play defensive with a lead and it usually hurts them. -Laughton hit was scary. hope hes alright -Someone called Schenn dirty??? I thought all of his hits looked clean. he was just hitting everything in sight. -manning layed Wilson outtttt late in the 3rd, which I got a kick out of since Wilson a shift or 2 earlier was pulling some nonsense in a scrum around the net I was pleasantly surprised that the Flyers won.. I thought they would have no energy and the caps would put them out of their misery. Now if they are to win tomorrow night, there will be a ton of pressure on the Caps having to go back to philly for game 6. |

Pretty amazing to see how far the Penguins have come since November/December. Team was lost back then and now they've truly found their identity has as a team. Sullivan has done a great job at righting the ship

And, of course, the game is blacked out on that app due to local restrictions.
I'm not even fucking kidding. My DTV bill is $200/month for just tv, no cable. Why the fuck is it a nightmare to watch this game on my phone. Utter horseshit! |

Credit also to Jim Rutherford. His moves have worked this year. Bringing in Bonino, Fehr and, of course, Uncle Phil in the offseason. He unloaded the disappointing Perron for Haeglin. And he unloaded fucking Rob Scuderi for Trevor Daley! Just a great performance by the Pens organization, especially from December onward. |
