Speculation: Roster Building Thread: Part LXXVI - On the Brink of Wasteland

[FIRE DRURY]

To add to this...



What a f***ing clown show Herman and Shapiro are.

Puck stealing racist. Amirite @Don Chytil ? Asking for a friend.

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

If this was bogus I’m disgusted that yet again Miller has to deal with this crap

and the bloggers that reported it should be done. Disgraceful the whole thing

Blueshirt Banter is under the SB Nation banner, I think. They should act on this

 

[TheBloodyNine]

I don't care what you think about Tony, I truly hope he takes every action he can against Herman and his lying reporting.

Once again, as always, the truth comes out!

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

you're like our Elias Sports Bureau..

does Reunanen play on the right side?

He can, but it's not his forte.

And thanks. I always credit my sources (Eliteprospects and Hockey-reference haha)

Which would actually beg the question of whether inventing a fictional race based narrative framing a perfectly well accepted and successful person of color as a victim of racism because it is compelling and fulfills an agenda, when no racism has actually occurred, is actually as racist as actual racism.

And that’s not a rabbit hole I even want to go down. Not sure why I’m even pressing post.

To be honest when it happened I thought DeAngelo made it a point to be the guy to get that puck for Miller. I actually was saying to myself good on him he wants to show the kid his reputation is in the past. Trying to welcome him. At least that was my hope when I saw it happening. I’m hoping that’s still the case.

I’m hoping the fight was Tony telling georgiev he sucked which he did lol. I’m hoping to told Quinn to go F himself. Anything but what’s been reported by the bloggers today. This would be a nightmare scenario otherwise.

Feel bad for the kid, he’s handled himself like such a pro since signing here, and dealing with a bunch of shit.

Yeah I'd like to see if they try to walk this back or stand by it. Not a good look and potentially crushes their legitimacy.

They have never been legitimate. Herman maybe had a small shot at one point. But he showed how poor he is at the basic aspects of Journalism. Unlike Brooks, he didnt have the pedigree or tenure to let his bias and emotions make their way into his coverage of the team. Herman was reduced to Blueshirt Banter where, as we saw again today, let his emotions get in the way of finding out the facts first before commenting on the situation.

This person could be over-reading, but it does resemble the description provided:

I’d like to see this at normal speed. Much like plays slow motion makes things not what they seem.

Anyways... over under on 9 minutes of TOI for the Bitteto Johnson pairing haha, that’s an ugly pairing

I actually completely agree. It is racist. Again putting Miller on the spot to have to answer these questions if nothing happened is disgusting.

 

[Don Chytil]

Puck stealing racist. Amirite @Don Chytil ? Asking for a friend.

When a story comes out about a white man harassing a Black man, my first reaction will never be to discredit the story. My first reaction will always be to sympathize with the Black man who has disproportionately been the victim of these stories in the past. I will never apologize for that.

But if Herman and Shapiro pushed this story without being 100% sure of their sources, that is also shameful. No argument from me there.

saying “sources have told” isn’t lying

it’s still a very bad look, no doubt

Life is too short to bet the under

omg, he’s pushing away from all his team mates too

Over all day long.

 

[duhmetreE]

Probably over.

I really hope Miller is on the PK1 with Trouba though and not Smith. Let the pairs stay the same.

Yeah he has always let his politics bleed into his writing. Even if I agreed with him it was annoying, because it was so overt, the political/social commentary took over the actual story.

Unless he can come up with a really good explanation for what went down here, he should be done. SBN should suspend his blog.

So basically your level of evaluating things is Unsubstantiated Hearsay > Actual Evidence. Got it.

Doubling down HAHA. You might as well wrote, I will always consider someone guilty without any facts or evidence because that is the sane and logical thing to do...

 

[TheBloodyNine]

it’s still a very bad look, no doubt

Which has now caused a complete shit stir online which will never fully calm down, as my boss is fond of saying "You can't put the shit back in the Camel's ass"

He should have properly vetted what these sources were saying. Instead, he ran to twitter to try to make himself look good. Now he looks horrible. There should be consequences for this type of shoddy reporting.

But but I thought DeAngelo, Miller, etc could go on record saying it happened and the dumb DeAngelo lovers would still believe it didn’t happen? Couldn’t possibly work the other way

 

[bobbop]

this is insanity and clown world.

We went from ADA getting into a altercation with his goalie. To he was holding down KAM and stole his puck... to now the Org.... 2nd to last to acknowledge George Floyd??

WTF AM I READING

Cancel culture alive and well in Canada.

 

[Brooklyn Rangers Fan]

Anyways... over under on 9 minutes of TOI for the Bitteto Johnson pairing haha, that’s an ugly pairing

Bitteto-Smith!

 

[Machinehead]

wow

please elaborate. Why is he 'probably a racist'?

-It's been rumored since he's in junior hockey that he racially abuses other players.

-He was definitely suspended in juniors for homophobic abuse and the Venn diagram of homophobes and racists is a circle.

-There are deleted tweets of his father using the N-word and I'll just let you look that up because I'm not posting it here.

-His sister's deleted tweets surfaced today and she couldn't write a single tweet that didn't have a racial slur in it.

-His father is on video (and it's been posted multiple times today) saying that they use slurs "every day" where they're from.

I'm 29 years old. I've been watching the Rangers my entire life. I have had this discussion about one player. That player is Tony DeAngelo. All I read all day is about "oh cancel culture, and nobody gets an opinion, and they're coming for everyone" and yet, it's one player. And it's that player again, and again, and again. And you expect me to believe that it keeps coming up because everyone is just out to victimize this one player because he shares political views that 50% of the country holds?

And before you say "that's not evidence" I got news for you: this ain't court, and we ain't stupid.

If it walks like a duck, it's a f***ing duck. You wanna talk about "let's communicate" and "don't cancel people" and "listen to other people," then the least you can do to open the lines of communication is f***ing admit when it's happening.
