Quebec is paying the LA Kings 10M to play 2 preseason games in Quebec city next year. One against Boston and the other against Florida. That's really WTF worthy.

I honestly don't know WTF they are thinking. The Habs I'd get it...but this? I don't know a single person that wants to pay big bucks to watch a Kings vs Panthers preseason game. Won't be surprised if the arena is half empty.
What the Hell.
No wonder PLD was the hot shit when he was on the trade market.
Too bad he plays like actual hot pieces of shit.

That's some funny stuff right there.
Those rosters are going to be shiiite too. Watch the Kings sign a bunch of vets to PTOs and send them instead of their regulars.

Avs fans: Kraken fans laughing at a slewfoot on MacK is terrible. Disgusting.
Also Avs fans: Kolesar got injured. Omg that’s the best F thing ever!

I never said Kolesar getting injured is the best thing ever, but he did get knocked the f*** out. Also was he that injured? He just got dazed from one punch
Generic comment not at you directly. Each time Kolesar has something happen to him people (here and Twitter) cheer it, but the Seattle fan cheering a MacK slewfoot was disgusting. Bias at its finest.
We know enough now to know that dazed is a brain injury.

I never wish for anyone getting injured even thought I might say I do when someone does something to a player I cheer for, but that’s more like heat of a moment thing

It may be contrarian bias, but it's still bias to take the opposing team's side on every subject.

I don't see how comparing "cheering" a slew foot of a top, major star in the league, vs a 4th line plug, who has injured multiple players on dirty hits over the years, getting knocked silly are the same thing.
f*** Kolesar. Give me a break. A plug with a history of dirty plays, let alone f***ing up our young Byram for a long time. We have valid reason to hate Kolesar.
Cheering on a slew foot on a star player that isn't known to be dirty is garbage.
Eh, guess I'm just echoing Bill here.

Maybe the actual history of the players also affects judgement but keep up the holier than thou attitude
Yeah MacK has never done anything dirty like throw a helmet at a players head.
How was he knocked out?
Dirty hit from another player or freak accident? Hate seeing guys hurt
Blown up in a fight? You reap what you sow
Trying to throw his own dirty hit but the guy gets out of the way and he misses? That sure sounds like karma

Fight. The Caps guy threw a nice clean open ice hit on a Vegas player then fought Kolesar and beat him up
Lol, knew you would bring that up. Totally equivalent
edit: and if Arizona fans were the ones cheering here I'd understand. Player history matters to specific teams/fanbases but you know that
Just sayin… and I’m not wrong. I don’t care about people cheering either way. It’s sports. Be consistent and not a hypocrite about it.

Yeah the comparison doesn't work at all. It would if people were cheering on Eichel going down on a texbook dirty play.
Honestly think this is a good example of trying to hard not to be biased lol like yeah a star player getting hit with a dirty play is going to be more upsetting to a fanbase than when a physical player with a worse reputation gets beat up. Goes without saying all fans are biased but this isn't a great example of it.
Thanks. Still don’t think that’s a cheer it on situation but I don’t feel badly for him either. You go into a fight knowing the risks so it is what it is
