newfy 695 Report post Posted January 6, 2012 Wow thats pretty ridiculous to get a suspension for saying that. He could've even just been making a joke about how one got thrown at him during that shootout. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Barch made that "slip on a banana peel" comment to PK Subban. 1 mjlegend reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

8 Legged RedWing 367 Report post Posted January 6, 2012 I was just going to say, I doubt he used the 'N' word because if a ref heard that, it would be a much bigger deal. I was thinking along the lines of a monkey or something banana related as well which it turns out was the case. I'm not sure on what the league should do about this specific comment but I'm with esteef on this one. If you don't want the specific word to be said to you, then stop calling each other it especially in music that EVERYONE listens to. 2 LadyWildcat and Hockeytown0001 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
55fan 5,133 Report post Posted January 7, 2012 Maybe the Shanahan needs to put out a video at the beginning of the season discussing this. I don't know about you guys, but despite having serious issues about racial/religious/ethnic/gender-related taunts, it is giving me the giggles to imagine. Good morning. I'm Brendan Shanahan of the NHL. Today we are going to discuss words not to be used on the ice... I'm telling you, the video would be comedy gold no matter how serious the subject matter.

Hockeytown0001 7,652 Report post Posted January 7, 2012 Suspended for "insensitive remarks"? Going by that nonsense, these players should be banned from hockey. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ally 448 Report post Posted January 7, 2012 So let me get this straight....they don't think it was racially motivated but it still deserved a suspension? I can't be the only one who thinks that's ridiculous. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bring Back The Bruise Bros 1,029 Report post Posted January 8, 2012 So let me get this straight....they don't think it was racially motivated but it still deserved a suspension? I can't be the only one who thinks that's ridiculous. Had it been Crosby, he wouldn't have been suspended. Krys Barch is an easy target, being the "useless tough guy" that he is. I guess they're regulating on ice talk now. Get ready for double minors for swearing. 5 minute major if the victim of the bad language has a tear coming out of his eye.
