Post-Game Talk: NAS - CAR Game 2: 3-0 Canes win - lead series 2-0

[tarheelhockey]

No? Then what was the issue?

Here, I'll even provide some receipts. I said this about him previously in a GDT in which he was being largely the same guy, and also having a good game against us:

"He was a whiny f***ing jake when he got traded here. He's a bitch and I want him to suffer and fail."

And that's pretty much the harshest thing said about him on these forums.

Well, given the various statements from Shane Willis and others, this is a pretty much dead-on assessment of how his erstwhile coach and teammates feel as well.

So. What was the issue?

I made the issue extremely clear the first time through. Including saying about half a dozen times that I have no issue whatsoever with heckling him for what he does on the ice.

Also not going to start pulling receipts and blowing that argument back up again 48 hours after it should have been over. Not sure why there’s this pressing need to keep bringing it up again after everyone had said their peace and moved on.

It was all Oskar Osala's fault.

Oh?

Criticizing the on-ice theatrics was never the issue.

So...there was a pressing need for that comment?

You've had a bazillion replies about this, and it all comes down to your personal view of the world. Enough with the virtue signaling, please.

 

[Anton Dubinchuk]

In fairness - wishing that Hakanpaa would hit him so hard that he suffers a tragic, Mortal Kombat-style death definitely falls within the category of “on-ice theatrics.”

 

[tarheelhockey]

Oh?

Listen, I let a handful of “how about defending Haula now???” subtweets go by the wayside. If I wanted to start shit, I would’ve fired back at the people who were looking for it.

I actually did make a single line response to someone who wasn’t looking to start shit, and all I said was “it wasn’t about that in the first place”. Because it wasn’t. As I’ve said over and over, and keep having to say over and over despite this being about a thread from two days ago.

Oh, **** right off with calling it that. Jesus Christ on a stick, we can have a disagreement about a hockey player without it being about some sort of bad-faith character flaw.

 

[Roboturner913]

good grief, this has gotten stupid. You'd think we were down 0-2 instead of being up 2-0. Did somebody really just seriously use the term "virtue signaling" in a goddamned hockey thread?

Get your shit together people. Seriously

 

[sheriff bart]

Haula isn't worth the attention

 

[hockeynjune]

How awesome is it that we have this incredible hockey team . We have waited a very long time for this and been through some real live crap together to get here. Life is good now , let's enjoy it to the fullest.

 

[bleedgreen]

Virtue signaling and living rent free in a head are so fetch.

"Hating on him because of his on-ice behavior is one thing, but it is a far different matter to project that onto him as a person...why, that is simply out of bounds!"

Not sure how else you intended it, but that sure does come across as pointing out a flaw in my character.

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

Aho looks like he's turned it up a notch these first two games. He looks faster and much more intense overall. I was surprised by how pumped he was on his first goal last night and he's been all over the ice.

Hopefully that keeps up as it's fun to watch.

I'm disagreeing with assessments of him as a person that are 99% based on rumor mill chatter. That's all it is.

We had this whole thing 2 days ago and I really don't see why we're continuing to revisit it other than for the purpose of starting an outright fight over a stupid topic.

If it helps, we’re cool and I did my best to coolly transition from the discussion by starting the tongue-in-cheek Haula insult train.

That was all tongue-in-cheek? Boy, do I feel stupid now.

Wait, you started that?

Erik Haula’s the kind of guy who would just stick his tongue in your cheek for no reason. What a weirdo.

Marchand and Haula, two peas in a pod. Well, other than Marchand is a good player.

 

[FlyingSquirrels]

Did Necas bang Haula's girlfriend or something? What did I miss.

Thats funny right there now.

 

[3CanesInTheBox]

Erik Haula is literally tearing us apart. lol for that alone he should be shot into the moon.


ETA: Here's some endorphins for you all

Nah. Vast majority of us are in agreement on Haula

 

[3CanesInTheBox]

[Roboturner913]

The only disagreement is whether we should hate him because A.) he's possibly a douchebag off the ice in addition to being a douchebag on the ice, if rumors are true, or

B.) if it's enough to simply hate him for being a demonstrated douchebag on the ice.

Me, I fall into the latter category, but que sera sera
