Nervous about this one..

Side note, what exactly is wrong with booing an anthem? Serious question...

Some people are too easily offended.

Doing it tonight, while not doing for the... prior months, would feel very odd.

I didnt even realize people planned on dooing it tonight lol

I remember when people booed it in the aftermath of the Iraq War and people (well don cherry) got salty over it....

I would rather start games without anthem singing/playing. It doesn't stir anything in me, either positive or negative.

 

[1909]

Booing a national anthem, your own or a foreign one, is stupid. Just shut up and sit if you do't like it.

I don't know if there were indeed such plans. I'm just saying it... well, possible.

I'm not sure anyone is 'planning' to boo it tonight but it seems a touchy subject in this thread.

I agree, I don't feel it has a place in domestic leagues. It's a rather silly and "western" thing to do...

never understood people who get upset over it honestly. If you wanna boo oh canada be my guest

 

[Adam91]

I'd be furious if I was Pateryn.

I agree, not sure what the thought process was in sitting him. Especially against a big team like the Kings..

People are too sensitive. Kaepernick was threatened and screamed at because he put one knee down during the national anthem. Yet, we live in countries where freedom of expression exists.

I don't really care about national anthems.

 

[pepperMonkey]

No, but he can easily be our 3rd-line center and pitch in offensively with at least 30-40 points a season, imo. He's a beast.

Err...dude has a career high of 6 pts...there is absolutely no data that points to him 'easily' being our 3rd line C and potting 'at least' 30-40 pts. Unless, of course, he's some elite player in hiding, i.e. an Eller WITH the toolbox as well as the tools...

*only if it correlates with the majority

Well, don't understand too much but those down south are a wee bit more (as in way waaaaay more) patriotic than us Canadians...

 

[Lshap]

Gonna miss most of this one. Big evening. Hopefully I'll catch the 3rd period.

I wouldn't mind a loss, as long as it's a very low-scoring, tight game. More concerned about the defensive structure than the record right now.

 

[Tyson]

Pateryn was brutal the last game. I still would not sit him against the Kings. I see no upside in sitting a big Physical Dman against a big Physical team. MT knows best.

DD with 0 points in 9 games is warranted.

He is more effective on the 3rd line. Habs have not been the same since they put DD with Pacioretty.

Still not sure where Shaw fits....

 

[Habs 4 Life]

I'd be furious if I was Pateryn.

I don't get this move, Pateryn has played pretty well. The guy must be so pissed about being here, the last couple of years he's been so patient and now that he is playing pretty well he still get's scratched. Unless they're trying to showcase someone, there shouldn't be any reason for this move.

 

[Binary Code]

Lol anthems dont mean **** sorry

 

[sampollock]

Subban fans won't understand.

nope, PK turned over the puck

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Does 20 SOG get it done against the Kings?

 

[Chili]

Rough scan of tonights lineups (outside the crease)...average height and weight


Kings 6'2 208
Habs 6' 0.5 195

Kings average about a year older then the Habs. (close to 29).

 

[Team_Spirit]

Will they embarrass us again and ask ''Please don't boo the anthem of your captain Max Pacioretty''

Obama had a pass in the last few years and people were quiet despite being at war longer than any president in United States history. With the return of a President that's socially acceptable to laugh at i expect the masses to show their lack of common sense once again and that is why i support the idea to remove the anthems at sporting events.

 

[Tyson]

This is one game that I dread. Kings have the team to pounce on our weaknesses.

Let's hope Price is up to the task of facing 40+ shots again.

the fact that you don't understand makes it clear to the rest of us
