Patrick Laine injured in pre-season game after knee on knee

[BrannigansLaw]

Well you leafs fans are kings of embarrassment ......so I'll have to take your word on that.

Settle down there. We don’t want you to get so upset you start pulling our hair

Not sure how i feel about the whole Reaves and X will have to fight in the first game this year, i prefer in game battles than planned fight.

Ah well being a hockey fan is weird at times.

Not quite, because if you read the article then you would have seen this part.


A spokesman said police suspected the calls were inspired by a local media outlet that suggested the idea. The police spokesman described the gesture as "irresponsible" — and he urged Montrealers to keep the emergency line free for actual life-and-death matters.

"Someone in the media has been telling people to call the police to complain," said Sgt. Ian Lafreniere of the Montreal police.

Just how stupid must someone be to actually call 911 because some radio station says to do it to complain about a hockey play?

look it up. might learn something

I wasn’t sure which was right,

I found 3-4 sites that listed most popular sports in the World

1) Soccer (football) 3.5 billion fans
2) cricket 2.5 billion fans
3) hockey 2 billion fans (includes ice and field)

'They can say he's a bad goalie. But when it gets hurtful, hateful or harmful, that's not acceptable.' Reimer was promoting an anti-bullying campaign in Brantford

Absolutely Reeves needs to fight x. Not too sure x will accept though, especially if the challenge is on Reeves’ terms.

 

[dukeofjive]

So both fan bases have rabid fans that go too far, just saying, i just find it funny that some people forget what there fan bases does also.

Its is job to fight for the team so not sure why he would not fight him.

Who? What?



Admitted where? Video and time stamp needed.

Ya he admitted he knees him in interviews, said didn’t mean to, and understood what Xhekaj thought he had to do.

Slaf made the a leafs player pay the price by… pulling his hair???

Yeah that was a bit of an embarrassing decision on his behalf. And then to get dropped, kinda made it worse.

Does that actually matter when we’re talking about NHL cities? Highly doubtful the people living in nhl cities know sh*t about cricket and care less about soccer.
In hockey we stand up for our teammates, or at least we used to.

Every fan base has their "special" people.

By virtue of their sizes, Montreal and Toronto will have a lot more of them.

I am scared to post on any habs forum on the net, i stick to the main boards, i get less abuse even being a habs fan.

Maybe when you guys can fill your own barn with your own fans you can have your own "special" people.

So we've established that BOTH of our fanbases have some incredibly toxic and stupid individuals. Not exactly breaking news, is it?

 

[Fatass]

Depends on circumstances. If it’s at the start of a Reeves’ shift and x has to square up I’m doubtful he accepts in that moment. During play, when Reeves is tired and x csn get a jump on him then that’s more likely. Squaring against a rested Reeves would be lights out for x. He’d eat fists. Not a good idea.

Tell that to your resident grandpa PaulD who makes everything about Leaf fans.

I don’t think that the majority of specials can afford to watch games in person regularly.

Suspected. Is the key word
But you’re still going on and on, and now look silly after the tweets the Reimer’s got.

One person can only be so wrong in one day, yet you’ve exceeded it now.

70% of your history is on one topic.

I was on your side on one point though, and pointed it out, but that was it.

Thank the hockey Gods most likely!

At the end of the day hockey's back baby! Everyone's excited! I hope Laine heals quick and makes the Leaf/Habs games more entertaining.

The question was, which is the most popular sport in the world, which I answered.

So yea it would matter in this case.
