Probably a bunch of crap. Although the fans were as bloodthirsty as I’ve ever seen them.

They are right about the cheering for Lindholm’s injury. Almost like the catharsis of 13 years of straight-up abuse of this team at the hands of the Bruins (ever since the 1st regular season game post 2009 playoffs) was finally unleashed.
Yeah, I read that thread and the whole evolution of that pasternak /crowd narrative is a case study of how sometimes the internet bad and people stupid. Some already agitated guy posts "and I heard" with no proof. People read it, take it as fact, and then apply the potential act of one idiot (if true) to the entire fan base being "disgusting" and "garbage".

Also, being at the game, fans were not cheering the injury at all - the crowd got riled first by the hit itself, then when 3 bruins attacked svetch right after the hit - and cheered the melee that ensued. There was no one cheering the fact that someone was injured.

To be fair, he was injured by the hit and the scrum happened immediately after, so it's easy to see why it might look like there was cheering about the injury.

And not pointing fingers, but a few posters on here were definitely advocating injuring Pasta last night.

LONG SMALL LETTER TEXT INCOMING.

I’ll be honest… I know I would have said some unkind things towards Pasta right in the heat of the moment when I found out about Raanta’s injury if it weren’t for Pastrňák’s passport. The bias is here, which also means I am ashamed of Pasta either because of recklessness, stupidity or at worst ill intent.

In the past I wanted players who intentionally committed injury out of my team (Olomouc in this case) and I have unapologetically wished an injury upon specific players in the past as well. With no lasting effects on their health, besides end of career. Talking about guys like Cooke.

That being said, I am in the camp of suspending him even for a game, because you are responsible for your actions regardless of intent.

I guess I forgot my English class rules from 60 years ago
In English there are no rules.

I must say, when William Caxton brought the fashionable new-fangled thing of printing pages wholesale to England, the stupid idiot decided to go with a spelling that predated the Great Vowel Shift. As a result, every foreigner learner for half a millenia and globe has had to struggle with the loss of the connection, between primarily spoken and secondarily written.

This is puticularly bad for Finns who maintain an Uralic ideal of "language should be just a tool, not a weapon". I'm probably idealistic with this. They don't think about it that much, which is a shame. Methinks.

Throughout the millenia, It happened Estonian is way ahead of Finnish. More contact.

So that's where the economy blows...

(No, I mean Canes should fight it all the way through, not seek alliances like Conferences or Coasts. I didn't mean that. Obviously I didn't mean what I said. What I meant, well, I didn't say that, or the reporter didn't see me say the opposite, or we have this delicious word salad on special offer) :: too much cable news :: out

You can say ass, peepee, and canadian.

You can't say the F word because it ultimately might lead to population growth.

You can say f***, it get's all three stars, isn't that a merit?

I'm really talking out of my ass here. The whole issue is a big ass-berg to sail into.
Are you ripping off Ismo's material, or is he ripping off your material?

The person on twitter who started those allegations have already walked them back as being wrong



I’m gonna go ahead and guess the beer-throwing claim is also false. I don’t care to count how many games I’ve attended at PNC, up in the cheap seats no less, and to the best my recollection I’ve never seen someone just lob a beer at somebody. If they had said someone threw a towel or popcorn or something, or about car damage or punches thrown, I would readily believe that. But beer throwing just isn’t a thing at PNC, not even on a rowdy night, and it’s really hard to believe that it happened to a random person for no reason, and that person just happened to be someone with first-name visibility to the Twitter fanbase.

I've only seen beer thrown once.

I did it. Woman came into a supporters bar with the sole intent of trying to start shit with everyone who was in there during the NCAA tournament. For 3 hours this went on, and when our team lost and our season was over, she took it up another notch. She kept talking shit on her way out the door, so she ended up wearing the remaining 25% of the pint I was drinking.

Here's the thing. She had also been treating the bar staff like absolute shit from the moment she came in. And after her complete Karen meltdown with a 'don't you know who I am' march into the manager's office, they kicked her out, told her she was barred, and they would call the police if she came back. And then, even though they had to kick me out, comp'd my entire tab because, and I quote "that bitch deserved it and that made our night". I've never done that before, never thought about doing it again.

But yeah... most of the time when I hear stories like this where that happened, 99% of the time you damn well know the beer toss was completely and utterly justified.

In the spirit of the thread, I’d say it doesn’t matter. All comedians borrow jokes when they’re first starting out.
Denis Leary has been a bit of a sore point for me in this regard. Back in the 90s, my circle of buddies watched repeatedly one of his MTV specials and thought that it was the shit. Then I learned about Bill Hicks and Leary's blatant thievery.

Today upon looking it up wikipedia tells me that he's a Boston Bruins fan.

So as a resolution, f*** you, Leary.
