This is truly the most hilarious thing I’ve read in some time. What an asshat this guy is.

Which guy are you referring to?

 

[tarheelhockey]

He couldn’t have played that more poorly. Literally the worst of all possible sequences that he could have made.

He basically said “I’m gonna bully TDA publicly for laughs” then crumbled when people objected to him even being in the room with TDA and then pulled one of the most blatant virtue signaling acts you’ll ever see. And I’m not one to use that term often. But that’s what that entire statement was.

Edit: One last thought, this idea that he couldn’t find “common ground” with TDA… the common ground is talking hockey. If he can’t get his head around that notion, that it’s possible to set aside political differences and just be about fellowship within the game for a while, then he’s just as bad as TDA and for pretty much the exact same reason.

Which guy are you referring to?

Surely not the guy who’s actively in anger management therapy

 

[kingsholygrail]

Social media was a mistake.

 

[Fixed to Ruin]

I think both individuals should be suspended indefinitely.

 

[crowfish]

Anytime someone uses the word "problematic" I just assume they are a giant p***y

 

[Satan]

so weak- bullied into apologizing for scheduling a conversation with someone with opposing views

grats on dunking on yourself dom

 

[the valiant effort]

I think both individuals should be suspended indefinitely.

In a room together.

With a podcast microphone!

 

[LemonSauceD]

Wait until they hear about how the vast majority of American hockey players have the same beliefs as TDA!

Saw this earlier and laughed in my group chat

Hockey commentary culture is as soy and pathetic as all hell. Dom L, Jeff Villette, etc.

Writing an apology post for this is really hard to believe. It’s an awful display of cowardice.

I'm totally lost on the dunking on DeAngelo thing? So I looked at his history, he said something very inappropriate stuff when he was 17 or 18? Is this something that deserves a lifetime ban?

And then he punched Georgiev after playing poorly and saying something to him? Avs fans would probably buy out his jersey if that happened today

And without going there, he supports a political party 70%? of NHLers do but is vocal about it? Is there more I'm missing? Honeslty everything negative I'm reading is just mentioning what he said as a 17 year old or reddit calling him scum for supporting Trump, is there more to this?

That’s because they focus so much on their education.

 

[BonMorrison]

I truly cannot emphasize how annoying someone has to be for me to be liking a Tony DeAngelo tweet.

Dom's such a clown lol

Backstory: Dom and TDA got into a back-and-forth about analytics versus the eye test. Dom was invited to join TDA on a podcast to debate face to face. Dom, high on the fumes of dunking on someone he hates, accepted the invitation. Then he found out that if you meet with someone publicly to humiliate them, then you aren’t cancelling them enough. So he walked back his attempt to embarrass a cancelled person by publicly re-cancelling him and refusing to even be physically present with him in the name of fighting intolerance (making a bunch of Twitter posts and a press release to dunk on him is still ok though).

Short version: two awful people being awful on the internet and ironically not seeing their similarities

 

[FinlandPanther]

Dom doing or saying something stupid. Name a better pair. Tony is also a dumb shit

 

[VeteranPresence]

These two don't have a single braincell to rub between them, so not surprising that somehow both ended up taking Ls in whatever... this... was.

 

[JackSlater]

Luszczyszyn, in addition to having an incrediblh tedious name to type out, always comes off as very immature in print and otherwise. DeAngelo seems like an asshole in general but Luszczyszyn comes out of this dunking looking worse. I did laugh at him pretending that a marginal hockey writer appearing on a marginal hockey player's podcast generated anything that can be described as "all the backlash".

 

[Romang67]

Can't say that missing out on a podcast featuring DeAngelo and Luszczyszyn seems like any great loss.

They had these exchanges over Twitter over the weekend, apparently Dom had no issue associating with him then. Then sometime between all that they agreed to go on a podcast together, then Dom releases this shortly after that comes out

. Tony is also a dumb shit

remember the story of the buffoon down the street who grew to be a old and wise man?
