No your thinking of AleppoIsn't this the same city that trashed their own town?

I hope you're joking.Ok well two wrongs dont make a right but whatevs
And it really wasn't THAT bad either result aside.Yup. He seems like a decent guy who did a bonehead thing.
Yeah thats trueAnd it really wasn't THAT bad either result aside.
Athletes are people too and fans sometimes buy in too much to remember.
Get rid of social media. Problem solved.
Here's the lowdown on fan base bashing. You can talk about idiot fans who do stupid things. No problem. The people that are the topic of this thread are definitely that. What you cannot do is generalize and lump all fans together under one giant black umbrella. There are two reasons for that. Number one, it's stupid. Number two, it never leads anywhere good in the discussion.
I don’t expect anyone wants to injury another. Did he hurt to get a good lick on him? Yes... just that extra shove was unnecessary hen he’s already on his way down.Matheson had stated his internt was not for EP to get injured, has apologized and accepts the suspension. Even tho im really angry with EP getting concussed I’ll have to say that this is as good of an outcome as it gets from this unfortunate incident.
You have my signature.Get rid of social media. Problem solved.
But it's moderated. Filters are impoartant.hf is a form of social media
Just curious, why is the solution always to avoid assholes? How about people be decent human beings and no one would have to avoid the assholes.Get rid of social media. Problem solved.

But unreflected actions based on uncontrolled emotions are purely reserved for the internet terrorists. An athlete, who plays a full contact sport, needs to control his emotions and actions every millisecond on the ice. There is no excuse for those so called fans.While I think this is reprehinsible behavior, I view it more of a byproduct of passion and love for the sport. Let's not judge the group by the actions of the vocal minority.
Oh wow threats, imagine if they took it to the next level and choke slammed him to the ice or something.

Than you come back with this post:Well don't body slam our rookie next time ya dingus.
We are talking about you (FINGER POINTING) in this thread.I would be lying if I said I didn't fantasize about Matheson getting payback for the hit but to go and act on those kind of thoughts by sending them to him on social media is just poor form. Probably some troubled youths with access to the internet. By now most people have cooled off. At this point I'm much more angry about Duncan Keith's elbow to the head of Daniel Sedin 5 years ago than Matheson's hit earlier this week.
It's really no surprise in this age for this to happen when you make tens of thousands of people very angry at the same time. It's part of being a public figure now. I would've been really surprised if he didn't receive any death threats. I don't think any of them are credible though but this could get a whole lot worse if Pettersson doesn't come back to his old self soon.
