Oh, my.  I read "hit woman during road trip" and thought it was a hit and run.

She slapped him first.  Sauce for the goose and all that.  I probably would have done the same had he lifted me (assuming he didn't get a hernia), but I would expect that if I hit someone that I'd be getting it back shortly.

If he gets charged, she should too as she hit first.

No she didn't, lets get real here.  He assaulted her first by grabbing her and lifting her into the air.

It'd be one thing if he just said some flirty type stuff to her and she hit him, but he physically assaulted her in the middle of a fight and that is is prompted her to slap him.

Meh.  This is all for nothing.  Someone will claim him, it sucks.

Just like with Wellwood, and Svatos.

Whether we get Nabby or not, I'm sure Holland has a plan.  Or else, he wouldn't waste his time with it.

It's called a different perspective.

People don't want that though, they only want to hear what they agree with.

Why do you think Fox News and MSNBC are still on the air?  

I don't know the reason for the ban, but it seems some folks are grumbling about consistency.

Well...  this IS a board dedicated to a team in the NHL, so they are probably just taking a cue from the NHL refs when it comes to consistency.  

reading the calgary forums has just made me dumber.

Yeah, I read some comments on one of the forums and found the number of "the league NEVER hands out discipline unless a Red Wing is hit" comments funny.  Its like some people just hate the Wings so much it makes them retarded and causes them to make statements like that.

I liked the hysterical girl in the comment section screaming about how Kostopoulos should get life in prison for last night.

So what I don't understand is why Toronto didn't call down and inform them that the puck was in thet net.

The ref probably would have just made some excuse to save face anyway and still called it no goal.  

Remember that on the Brad May goal, Toronto did call down and tell LaRue that it was most definitely a good goal, but LaRue argued about it and refused to reverse his call, because his massive ego would not let him admit he was wrong, even though Toronto, the people looking at the play from every angle, told him he was most definitely wrong on the phone.  s***, even Mike Murphey did a pregame interview the next game basically apologizing and admitting LaRue was wrong.  And that s*** NEVER happens!

(yes, I'm still a bit bitter)

I'm not saying people can't be converted, but to make a sweeping generalization about the only people who don't like beer are people who haven't tried beer is kinda ridiculous.




So reword your post so you don't sound so stupid. What a ridiculous generalization. Maybe the most ridiculous I've ever heard. Congrats on that anyway.

Perhaps you should work on your reading comprehension skills a bit, eh?

I said, and I quote "ALMOST all people I'VE TALKED TO"

I didn't make any sweeping generalization, I clearly stated that what I said was just based on people I have personally talked to.  I never said all either, I said almost all.

You want Hudler to start fighting?

You realize the kid is like 5'2" and 100 pounds soaking wet, and his head would likely explode on the first punchto the face  he received, right?

How come there are articles about it, journalists etc saying for the sport to grow among the general population in america they must remove fighting?

Because some journalists are clueless morons?

Hell, if anything, to make it catch on with the "average American", you'd have to have MORE fights.  At the very minimum one a game, I'd guess.

Dirty hit.

Wrong.  

If there was contact, it was because his chinstrap wasn't done up properly.  That was a whiplash play more than anything else.

f*** that.  I'd be happy if there were no Wings in the all star game.  Last thing we need is to risk one of our boys possibly getting injured in the silly all star game.

crosby is better defensively than datsyuk

Damn, dude...I told you not to smoke all that crack at once.  

Now look what you've done to yourself.

Pang had to feel like sh*t afterwards.

Yeah...and that is ridiculous.  

To be living in such overly PC-ified times that you actually end up feeling horrible and getting a knot in your stomach for making an innocent mistake in speech, that meant nothing more than being a simple slip of the tongue in two words that are nearly identical, is a sad state of affairs.

Hopefully this doesn't become a big deal because it's not at all.  He just got ahead of himself while thinking of the word, "way" and "white" slipped out.  I was expecting something worse, and I think you all know which word I'm talking about...

Good thing they weren't talking about which player was bigger, eh?  lol



Seriously though, the PC-ification of America these days is getting utterly ridiculous.  The fact that he felt the need to, or was forced to, apologize publically over what was obviously just an innocent slip of the tongue just further proves this.
