not arguing with you there. but really, you wanna call him out tonight? He wasnt our worst player by a large margin...he actually played a fairly decent game all things considered.
all im saying is, the entire team was awful..dont call Gaborik out when nobody shows up to play. Call the entire team out. This was a disgrace tonight.
What did you like about his game? That his entire game this season consists of skating the puck in to the corner, and reversing it to....nobody?!
Gaborik is paid like an elite player because he was an elite player at some point in his career. That means he doesn't get a pass when the best thing you can say about him was "he wasn't our worst player".
It means "I want to have an intelligent conversation, without a bunch of BS about bias." Clearly that's not possible here, so forget that part.
It's not. You're right. Because you fail horribly at having an intelligent conversation. And you're actually going to come in here and say that "WE" are bias and you're not? Let's see...

You start your 'intelligent' conversation (and unbiased at that )

Seriously? How did I NOT mention it? Let's see...

In which I responded with...

Considering you're 'picking and choosing' what to choose and what to omit in you're 'unbiased/intellectual' conversation...let me spell it out for you: Wolski was WRONG on the CHEAP slewfoot and it has NO place in the NHL. The LEAGUE should SUSPEND slewfoots. How's that?

You WERE insinuating with your little no-so-subtle remarks: Goon, 'teddybear' in a sarcastic tone, these things are clearly comments to stir 'trouble' which you ...apparently... had no intentions of doing.
How is Sean Avery dirty? You did not make a case on how he's dirty. Just that he 'is'. Very unbiased and intelligent, if you ask me.
Oh, and you want to talk about biased with this little gem?

nobody ever said he gets a pass, i just dont get singling him out. it would be one thing if we lost the game 3-2 where we played a good game and he played the way he did...then i could understand calling him out, but EVERYONE was awful last night...EVERYONE (outside of Henrik of course)
As much as I love the make up of this team and their resilient ability to mount these third period come backs... if they continue to do not show up for the first two periods the losses will mount up as quickly as the wins did.
Why are the Habs fans still on our board? That's what I want to know.
and I really want to know how Avery is so much dirtier than a punk who slew foots and cross checks Boyle in the face. Are you related to his sloppy seconds or something?

It's pretty ridiculous, even worse though is that you can get suspended for 6 games for saying sloppy seconds, but a coach drops 300 f bombs during a televised intermission and not only does the league not say anything but the so called commissioner says he is fine with it. In fact he even said: “No one in this room is prudish enough to think that locker room language isn’t coarse.”
For what it's worth, I'm not a big fan of all the cheap shots aimed at Redden. (You asked )
Otherwise, I do like it. Thank you. E
Its been beaten to death, but he makes $6.5 million to play minor league hockey. If anything, he deserves more 'cheap shots', whatever that is supposed to mean.

Heh, yea really.
The trash talking on the ice from opposing players saying things like "Hey, nice salary bro!" when he messes up or gets into a scrum must be pretty brutal. Hopefully it gets so bad that he decides to retire / goto Europe and we aren't in summer cap hell for the next 4 years.

No, he deserves it, especially with his cap hit and sub-NHL-level play.
