but apparently it has to do with a Maurice speech
What a dumb f***ing
. Not gonna lie that's a thing of beauty and I'm a bloke that doesn't even wear my wedding ring.Pretty cool.
Thought the “freedom” inscription was weird even for the US
C'mon, you minimize injury possibility if you graze someone's jersey before cold-cocking them in the head.
Getzlaf and Parros as the DoPs is hilariously bad. It's cronyism hiring and hiring based off of his ivy league pedigree for Parros while having zero actual experience to be in a role like that given the way he played. It's funny how they never hire the ex player that was dealt dirty hits etc.
The issue with the Watson thing is that there's been a lot of info that came out after that was ignored, I too, disliked him when it first happened but when I read about his GF and her issues, it all started to add up and made sense about what went down that day and she's right - it'll stay with him forever as a mark and that's kind of unfair. This isn't DeSmith and Voynov, this was his GF - an addict, going off on him and he likely had to restrain her and the cops got involved and the optics made it seem a lot worse and black and white when it wasn't. I can respect that there was more to it and he's not in the same boat as say a DeSmith and Voynov, but this is akin to Varlamov's case - Where in the end, it was found that his GF at the time was charged in court with abuse of the process and owed Varlamov 126k - Which likely meant she started it and then played victim when Varlamov defended himself as the case was also dropped and that was the result of the civil suit (she was looking for a payout, essentially trying to extort him - Jury backs Varlamov in civil case, awards goalie $126K , also she's maybe a little crazy, his agent warned him not to date her and she also got a tattoo of Varlamov when they barely knew each other, that's like a top 5 red flag)

Also funny how the league didn't like the reduced suspension, like the league acting all high and mighty about a situation that wasn't as clear and easy as they wanted it to be, this from a league that is super pathetic with how they've handled previous suspension and issues.
