Around the League 2024-25 season

McDavid buttends with his stick on Garland. Dude needs to get smoked

 

[AbsentMojo]

Unabomber McPuzzy at it again... dude has turned into a real scumbag

Let’s see the disgusting pacifists on this board justify not elbow bombing McDavid.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Completely premeditated retaliatory cross check in the face

There's no accident or hockey play to hide behind on that one and how many games in a row does he need ot push the limit before getting booked

 

[AbsentMojo]

Garland came out of it OK because he turned his head a bit right before the incoming crosscheck to the face... otherwise I would expect he'd be missing his front row

3 games, 3 headshots, 3 injuries. Maybe a stern warning this time?

At least this time he got a match penalty.. though that doesnt mean he'll get a hearing. Probably just a fine

Shouldn’t you be busy training for your playoff debut where you permanently disable McDavid and earn yourself a statue in front of Staples?

Dont worry about me, just prepare your excuses come playoff time

They'll say the match penalty was suspension enough.

On a more way off topic around the league...my wife and I went on a Northern Thailand tour, to temples and villages, other sites. And one stop was at this famous 'longneck' village, where they wear these rings from a young age and stretch out their neck...I asked one (that was talkative, so why not) if Darnell Nurse grew up here...and showed them a photo. They kind of laughed and said no. (I was not making fun, I had bought one of their crafts and donated to them) And I then showed them a photo of Barry Trotz and asked if he could benefit from coming to their village, and get a neck....this time, they were on to me, but not offended.
Many didn't buy their crafts and quilts, so I felt ok to ask. My wife and I bought a few things.

They start them young. My Thai wife's second language is English, of course, so I enjoy her English choice of words....she called the most famous one "she's the signature long neck'. The next hour or so, I called my wife short neck.

Kai loves Kings hockey and we watch NHL TV in Phuket. She wants to see the Kings, once she gets her visa. In the meantime, I’m spending 10 months here and come back to Cali and Colo 2 months to see fam and my 2 grown sons in Denver. We’ve gone to HK and Kuala Lumpur. Good times. Sux I can’t bring her to USA yet. Even on a tourist visa

I asked Kai who she thinks the Kings’ signature player is. Quick to answer “Kempe”
She’s very astute and perceptive and tells me when the Kings have ‘bad form’…and when they’re on their game and tells me we’re going to win today. Obviously, she knows the Kings PP sucks. Explaining a delayed penalty was arduous. “Why is the goalie leaving?”
She could tell Spence was Asian and has referred to him as “Japanese”, before she learned his name.

Garland with the ultimate troll job, 10/10. McDouche has it coming, someone is gonna want to take a run at him for this bullshit. Edmonton once again shows why they're the dirtiest team in hockey.

The Caps broadcast yammering about PLD being a Selkie candidate has to be one of the hotter takes I have heard this season.

Especially when Protas is on the same team, with 2 more points in the same number of games as PLD. Protas is a +26 to PLD at +15. He isn't even the most Selke worthy player on his team.

Pah!. He’s still no Mark Bernard!!


Edit: I have my tongue firmly planted in my cheek. I love a goalie goal!

I don't want to encourage or celebrate deliberately injuring a player and destroying a career. Just like we wouldn't want any Kings player, past, present, or future, to get injured deliberately.

I don't know if your obtuseness on this critical point is accidental or deliberate.

I'm all for McDavid getting a smackdown too. I hope it makes him think three times and look over his shoulder three times. I can't speak for @Herby @The Butcher or any other "disgusting pacifists" though.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

5 bucks he only gets a fine

only because you can't do that to another canadian team and their pisspants media

That's the thing. None of what you said matters. If a player like McDavid is actively going around hurting his peers with not a care in the world, the last thing he needs is compassion. I would be upset if it happened to a King that was taking players out but I'd understand it and wouldn't act as if it wasn't coming.

McDavid at this point deserves to get the same recklessness his way and if something happens to him, I wouldn't feel bad. If trying to be above it all isn't working then you have to stop the rats somehow. You can't pretend to be better than them and hope it goes away. Leave your compassion to players who are deserving of it. Not scumbags. People celebrated when Matt Cooke got knocked out by Kane. This is no different. Both trash.
