As a woman, I find it offensive that you would insinuate a man is not a man (a wimp, a *****, etc.) by giving them a woman's name. Doesn't matter what name you choose to use; Dorothy, Susan, Michelle, Amanda....whatever. And frankly, I don't give a rat's ass what you think I am to you. You're basically equating wimpiness or lack of strength with femininity which really.....is quite insulting.

If I get drunk and beat up a cabbie, I go to jail for that since I'm not famous and loaded. Since Patrick Kane is somewhat well-known (to hockey fans anyway) and has a few quid in the bank, he will avoid jail time. And who said there's no upside to having money?

I'd really like GordieSid&Ted to insinuate more people are ***, like he did when he called Homstrom96 "Dorothy" (Dorothy being Judy Garland, huge *** icon and slur against gays). That always adds a level of sophistication to the argument.

What? What? What? Is this your idea of unintentional intentional comedy?

Oh yes, he absolutely deserved a broken neck. That is absolutely the only thing that could have happened to him to somehow make up for the borderline body check he leveled on Naslund. Not a broken nose or a busted lip or a few missing teeth. Nope. Broken vertebrae was the only possible outcome that worked. Absolutely. Broken neck. Way to go, dude! Are you fraking kidding me?! People can die or become paralyzed from broken necks - if either of those scenarios happened as a result of this would you still say he deserved it? Or are you only saying he deserved it because he didn't die and can still walk? I don't care what the hell he did to Naslund, no one deserves a broken ******* neck. Edit: You better be joking.

Copypasta'd from the other thread: Not even remotely close to the same thing. McCarty beat the hell out of him yes, but Lemieux fraking covered his head and face for the most part. Lemieux knew McCarty was gunning for him, he even took measures to protect himself from the beatdown that was coming. Todd Bertuzzi BROKE STEVE MOORE'S NECK and Moore had no opportunity to protect himself from it. You want to equate someone getting a few punches to the puss with having your NECK BROKEN? If I had the choice between Darren McCarty punching me in the face or Todd Bertuzzi breaking my neck.....I'll take my chances in Thunderdome with Darren, tyvm. Moore's hit on Naslund was dirty. That doesn't mean he deserved a BROKEN NECK because of it. I've seen tape of what Bertuzzi did. He punched him in the back of the head and then fell on him and BROKE HIS NECK. Fighting is one thing. Hits are one things. Dirty hits are even another thing. However, BREAKING SOMEONE'S NECK is not acceptable on the ice, in the streets, on a basketball court, on a baseball field, on a football field, in a bowling alley, at a restaurant, in school, in any arena of life you may encounter. I don't care if the broken neck part was not intended. He intended to cause great physical harm to Moore because he started this fracas off by punching him in the back of the head. The broken neck was the cherry on Bertuzzi's sundae. You can stand up for your teammate without being a punk. If someone leveled a cheap shot on Nick, would you want someone on our team to do this to someone? How would you feel about that player afterward? To respond to a point you made further up the thread, if Darren McCarty broke Claude Lemieux's neck, I would absolutely throw him under the bus for it. That s*** is not acceptable. You want to get revenge on Turtle Boy for what he did to your best friend, I'm pretty sure you can do it without BREAKING HIS NECK. What the hell is this s***, the MMA?

My favorite thing ever is when people misinterpret what a player says and then proceeds to slam them for it. I knew what Hudler was getting at. He didn't think Babs gave him the opportunity to really show what he could do and kept bumping him down line. So now he feels he's on a team where he'll be given the ability to do that. And that problem with that is...........................?

Jesus, that's funny. I live in North Carolina and I'd wear one. Granted no one would know who it is, but why quibble over that little detail?

How hard is it to just wait until you're 21? I've never understood how or why people go ga-ga over booze. Seriously, I'm at a loss. I knew people when I was in high school and in college who would just drink, drink, drink and drink some more like it was going out of style and always seemed rather incredulous when I said I wasn't interested. These are people who flunked out of school because they were too drunk/hungover to bother coming to class on a regular basis. I guess that's a pet peeve of mine - people who waste either their money, their parent's money or the government's money to go to school only to spend the whole time wasted. If you want to get drunk, go to a bar. Not college. Anyway, rant over. That being said, holy s*** is this kid stupid. Drunk or not, who the hell beats up a cabbie? The fare was $13.80, he gave the guy $15. First of all, that's an insult. $1.20 tip? If Kane can't pony up an appropriate tip, maybe he needs an accountant and a money manager. I shudder to think how he tips waitstaff at restaurants. I've seen people with hardly a dollar to their names tip more generously than people with cash coming out the wazoo. Secondly, he beats the guy up because the cabbie wouldn't give him his $.20. Right there, you know we're not dealing with a supreme intellect. Throw the book at him and let the Blackhawks' brass deal with it.

To quote Col. Sherman T. Potter, "horse puckey!" Give me a break. Good hockey is ALWAYS entertaining. You want "entertainment", go watch the WWF. I've never been bored by a Red Wings game, because I find the sport of hockey interesting, and therefore it's entertaining. Entertaiment means a show and if it's a show you want, go to a tractor pull or something.

Not only was it funny, it was a reminder of why I usually stay the hell out of GD until the season starts. That was epic. Just epic.

A happy belated birthday to the best owner in hockey. I hope he had a great day.

See? This here is why I love you.

LOL. I swear, the bipolar nature of this place is almost comical. You want him gone, so he leaves. You all seriously remind me of the guys in school who would dump a girl and then when they'd see her with another guy, start talking s*** about her. You dumped her! She's free to move on! Let it go, you luddite.

Damn right it's charming. Better recognize. That said, I think it's really quite hilarious that the person who has been insulting people left and right wants to "talk hockey" and keep the off-topic stuff to the Water Cooler. As if insults are germane to hockey conversation. Big fat LULZ in your direction, good sir.

Who cares how long you've been here? That means nothing.

I was at the grocery store earlier today, and I saw Hossa steal a candy bar from a little kid. Then he kicked the kid's grandma and flipped off the checker. The person behind me said "aren't you glad that guy isn't on the Wings anymore?" Boy, don't you know it. Grandma-kickin' *******.

"Dollar" Bill Wirtz. He never allowed their home games to be televised. You could only listen to them on the radio. Away games were always televised, though. He was of the opinion that if you televise home games, people won't show up, opting to see the games from their living rooms instead. So he forced peoples' hands basically and took that option away. He was a cheap bastard. I listened to my dad ***** about this over and over and over and over and over again. When he finally took the big dirt nap, his son loosened the purse strings and allowed the home games to be televised.

Dear God, I CANNOT wait for the season to start. Maybe this inanity will end.

Legion of Broom.

I don't think anyone gives a damn about Anaheim now that the hemmorhoid is gone.

He is such a smarmy little turd. He could be personally handing me bags of $100 bills and I would still roll my eyes in contempt when he showed up. Every time you look at him you feel this indescribable urge to go shower in boiling water and Lysol.

Understatment x2. I hope that Kenny & Co. can get this squared away in due course.
