negged. stinky fish taco

lmao Bryzgalov and Dats give the best interviews I've ever witnessed. Flyers management must get pretty pissed off though, but hes ******* funny

One more hit, actually. In one more game, with far more ice time. Gorges is a far better shot blocker, but other than that they are pretty similar.

Did you even read the original post or the link? A linesman overheard it and skated straight to the bench. To the best of my knowledge no players are crying about anything. What a tragedy that will be. It's hilarious that you make this post and your username is league integrity.

Honestly, I think our world would be a much better place if people could get over themselves and go by a "sticks and stones" mentality and only once you remove the power of the words, can they lose their weight, but unfortunately that is not the world we live in, it's VERY PC and this becomes an image issue for the NHL, and in a year already marred in media scrutiny, the last thing it needs is racial intolerance to be brushed off... It needs to be punished, if for no other reason than that...

His act is starting to wear very thin.

Wrong. Iran has executed 4000 people since 1979 for being homosexual, there is routine imprisonment for such in Saudi Arabia. Homosexuality is punishable by death in Iran, Saudi Arabia, Mauritania, Sudan, Yemen, Nigeria, Gambia and Somalia. Over 5000 died strictly for that "crime" in Nazi Germany. It's a word, sure, but handwaving and saying it doesn't mean anything is patently wrong.

I think a major suspension (10+ games) is warranted here...

comparing the contracts sft, not what youve added to it. Ericsson seems to be the goat/whipping boy on these boards, he isnt as bad as fans make him out to be. When he makes a mistake everyone is on him like a rash, to try prove the point. Other more senior D men have made some howlers this year and it tends to be overlooked. Yes he is overpaid but whos the guy who offered him the contract? We have 3 of our D in the top 8 in the league in the +- and Ericsson is one of them so he cant be doing that of an awful job.

It is a shame he won't be around either for the Red Wings to light up in the first round this year.

I liked game 5:

A. Fixed that for you B. This is exactly the reason they HAVE to punish this

It's actually all stupid. Someone said earlier, sticks and stones etc... He does not need a suspension, since he used a racial slur and got caught, he will now and forever be labeled as a racist. For the players that are just like him, they wont care, but for the player (and teammates) that aren't, they will disassociate themselves from him and will alienate him from certain things they do together because they will not not want people to think that they accept him. He pretty much punished himself, he will always be remembered for this....and that is the sad part. It's gonna affect his current position with Florida and it's gonna affect his ability to sign contracts elsewhere. He dug his own grave.

Honestly, this. The site is going through another phase low on good hockey talk, unfortunately. Add to that the cheerleaders who only want positive posts about the team and the trolls, and it's just not as interesting of a community here lately.

Probably good because calling someone *** who isn't makes you sound like a grade-schooler.

Me neither. It's trash talking and it's supposed to hurt. esteef

Am I the only one that does not care about a racial slur? Maybe its just me but that is real life. Hockey players are no different.

If anyone ever questioned the greatness that is the Perfect Human, they can now be silenced by this: He makes Perry tolerable.

Now, the going gets tougher. Go, Team Canada, Go!

Our bottom six has just been brutal lately. What gives?

Yep. The play of Crawford and Emery will be a big factor in determine how far they go but they definitely got the scoring/talent.

i think a special mention should go to Drew Miller, he is having a great year and babs is rewarding him too with his mins going up. in fact i believe he is well on course for a career year, one of the unsung guys on the team that most average fans tend to miss the work he does.

It does seem like lately a lot more posts have been getting deleted, even when they're not in poor taste or malicious...
