DatsyukianDekes 2,428 Report post Posted December 8, 2010 Funny thing he correct himself as well He apoligized, must have been a huge embarassment. Bob mentioned Kenny also, when they were discussing the option of a 3v3 overtime. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NvrFrgtRussian5 85 Report post Posted December 8, 2010 (edited) I guess this is when it is a good thing that the NHL isn't a widely watched sport. If this was an NBA commentary it would be all over the media. Even though it was really just a mistake. People are just WAYYYY too sensitive today. Don't let Jesse Jackson see this!

I'm on my phone and have a weak signal, so I'm not able to stream the video to it... They were discussing PK Subban and Pang commented on Peterangelo and said he plays defense the 'White' way, when he meant to right the 'Right' way. Funny how one word can change everything.

Funny how one word can change everything. ahhhh... he's known to be pretty good friends with Kevin Weekes, so I HIGHLY doubt there's anything more (even Freudian) to it than just tripping over his words, but yea, that's gotta be embarrassing...

ACallToArms 270 Report post Posted December 8, 2010 (edited) That's not even bad. "Right" and "White" are easily tripped over, its kind of sad he had to even apologize to pre-empt all the "you're a closet racist" comments. I was expecting some f-bombs or something like that!!!

Shouldn't there be a black player from america playing in the nhl that's not a goon, all black players in the nhl are from canada if memory serves me right, there's potential with their athletic skills but the hockey culture hasn't moved forward in the states it seems.

daniel1 32 Report post Posted December 8, 2010 It is pretty sad how uptight our society is about political correctness... Sad yes, but given the history of inequality concerning human rights all over our planet it's not surprising. I'm thankful everyday that I live in a country that never condoned or allowed slavery, and I'm glad that the USA is doing everything it can to make up for mistakes of the past. That being said, I'm sure Panger didn't mean to imply anything with his slip up, and I don't think anything will come of this, he may be annoying at times but I doubt he's racist given that he's good buddies with Stevie Y, and The Captain would never be friends with anyone who was like that I'm sure.
