Kesler and Burrows talking trash about Backes' wife

[Frozen-Man 144]

glad i changed your mind

:caution:

Wow, seriously wow. You didn't change my mind. Look at the time and date stamp of that post of mine I just quoted. It was from 6:13 PM Yesterday - You didn't even post in this thread until 7:10 PM Yesterday. That was and always has been my opinion, you didn't change my mind one bit you just got your panties in a bunch and didn't know what you were talking about when you wrote your response to my post.

i'm in your head now son where am i where am i your rattled

[Detroit # 1 Fan 2,204]

Sorry Frozen, but I find it amazingly ironic that a topic started about Trash Talk meant to get players focused on others players instead of the game, has made you quote and comment on absolutely everything he says very similarily. Too good

[Guest Four]

you need a tissue?

who was complaining?

im not sure if you guys are thinking i was complaining about it or not...i wasn';t...in fact i like a little trash talk. but i do feel you leave someones wife and kids out of it....maybe just the kids.

Excuse me? Give your balls a tug.

[lomekian 201]

if i was black and someone called me a n____ (don't want to cause an uproar, lol), i'f take it as a cry for help and a last ditch effort to try and take me off my game...

not disagreeing with the general point that much, but this is one of those engage brain before typing moments....

[lomekian 201]

Also, just as a novel thought...surely its the case that just becasue something happens now, this doesn't automatically mean it should continue indefinately? This isn't me standing agains trash talk, just encouraging people to compose rather more intelligent arguments.

Although I never initiate it in any sport, i don't mind a little verbal sparring...I'm smarter than most people (modest too! and can hold my own. As I said earlier, this case is pretty tame, unless there is a personal background behind it that gives it meaning. A slap on the wrist to appease the squemish and ensure the boys do it off mike is all that's needed. Unlike skacore, i feel race is an issue that needs to be addressed with more gravity, particularly in a north american context.

Burrows is quickly becoming one of the biggest trash talkers in the league. The other night during a commercial break he skated by Khabibulin and asked him how it was to be on the waiver wire earlier in the year and got Bulin to cross-check him in the back

This thread was hilarious. That was a funny read.

I cannot believe some of the Sensitive Sallies around here. Good god...is this a site for hockey fans or the Disney On Ice? Hell, I bet the Disney on Ice people talk s*** to each other. The guy dressed up as Goofy probably goes up to Mickey and says "Tell Minnie I said hi."

And the idea that the Red Wings are somehow above this sort of behavior

[T.Low 1,011]

Wow. What do you people think they are usually saying to each other when they're yelling? "Hope your investment portfolio is more diversified than your break away moves!" "The color of your Bentley looks like duck poo!" "Only a moron would by vacation property in the Mayan Riviera!"

What a shame that all this political correctness and sensitivity has somehow crept into hockey.

What did he say "Give your balls a tug you big ******* *****" or something like that. "Kelly is a nice girl, tell her I said hi".

Puh-leeze.

You guys should hear the talking that goes on in my beer league, sheehs. This one guy is head of Oncology at the local hospital, and he drops more F-bombs than anyone I've ever heard in my life. He bitched at me about something and I called him a ******* princess, and it seemed to have stuck. Everyone in the league calls him the princess now. Except my wife, who got into a bit of a scrum with him. She's calls him Queenie.

Its an emotional game. A very, very intense, emotional game. Thats why fighting can never be banned; you're always just a fraction away from wanting to rip the guys head off.

One freind of mine who used to be on the Cunucks told me about fighting Probert from the openning face off one year. Proby was returning from his 12 gram cocaine suspension . The Game Program cover had Proby, Kocur and ? all with their shirts off psoing like wrestlers or something and the caption read something like "700 pounds of beaf". My buddy shouted at Proby "Hey shouldn't that program cover have read 700 pounds and 12 grams?!!" and they dropped the gloves right there. He said Proby was the worst to fight because he was a huge animal and because when he "was on the smack he'd never get tired". Gosh, imagine that, a pro athlete not only using performance enhancing drugs, but cocaine even! What a shocker.

While watching the Wings is indeed a thing of beauty, hockey in general is not a pretty game with nice people playing it. its a violent sport with violent people playing it.

Quit putting your team on an unrealistic pedastool.

I do not know about that BC; Mr. Mouse has some grit... Just look at the way he handled the Jonas Brothers.

This reminds me of some funny times. There was one guy we used to play against. Someone said he looked like the Hamburgler from McDonalds once and it stuck for some reason. Then it went through a couple different phases. Hamburgler turned into Turd Burgler. Then, somehow it just turned into Burger King. Don't ask me how or why. Burger King stuck for about 2 months until he couldn't take it anymore and he turned towards the bench from the ice and yelled: "I eat at the Burger King, I work at the Burger King... I OWN THE BURGER KING!!!!!". We all just kinda stared at him dumfounded. That was the end of it. Lol.

He refused to shake some of our hands after we bounced them. He was seriously hurt by it all. Hehe.

While that episode was on, I was laughing the entire time. Southpark is too good.

If that video was cut short, Carlyle's face was pasted on Micky, and paste Jonas Hiller's face on the Jonas Brother getting beat.

Perfect one would think.

As soon as I read "The Hamburgler" I busted out laughing. Thats hilarious. I know exactly how that goes, and thats half the fun of playing. We actually had a "Taco Bell" in or league a few years back. You ask any pro what he misses most after retiring and they all say the comradery, and thats the exact type of thing they mean. Those are the stories you hear when you tip a beer with these guys.

The NHL players figured out a long time ago that these things stay in the room, on the ice, and in the back of the bus. Not like the NBA players who flaunt it. Avery thinks the NHL should be more like the NBA, and personally I disagree. I don't think the game needs to be marketed better, grown, or changed in any particular way that will change or destroy the integrity of the game. For some reason I really like the fact that they all wear suits instead of bling (Ray Emery). If people don't like it, don't watch it.

[Ms_Hockey 0]

Players jaw-jack each other. It happens. Just because one of them happened to be mic'd up while doing so, we're going to throw giant hissy fits over it?

It's part of the game. There's probably 100x worse said when players AREN'T mic'd up.

You didn't happen to play on the Chiliwack Chiefs with Matt Butcher, did you? (Long shot, I know, but stranger things have been true).

They had a 6'5" Dman from Texas named Blackwood or something. Garth always referred to him as Blacky.

[uk_redwing 495]

Awesome stuff.

Exactly. It's funny. A lot of people like to pretend these guys are so regal when little do they know, Marian Hossa could very well be tricking people into looking at his bat wing. Hockey players are a little sick in the head and it doesn't stop at the Red Wing dressing room.

Nope. Not me.

Love the Queenie/Princess story, BTW. I need to get back to playing again though, I miss talking smack on the ice. Even though I suck at hockey so I can't really back it up
