Why was the Sharks broadcast team so upset Kadri wouldn’t fight last night?

hear me out for a second, I just can't see S.J being thaaat mad over wizardgate. So knowing that hockey players form a tight group. I can see Kadri talking a lil shit about a player(s) of coach(s) in S.J and thats why Tavares didn't go. Now I know its going down a rabbit hole of assumptions but it would at least explain the animosity. Or maybe the chunk of beard that Kadri ripped out was home to Joe's rooster

Do you follow old school hockey? Whether you are a Leafs fan or not, I know you moderate the Leafs board. You have to agree some things in hockey do not change. Kadri grabbed Thornton's beard last year in a fight. You simply do not do this in hockey. It is equivalent to pulling hair in a fight. As a hockey player Kadri knows the code of the game. I am old school when it comes to this. Much better to drop them than have a Kadri hurt with something more severe. If he dropped them in the first min, the Sharks would have left him a lone the rest of the game.

Do you recall how Cooke fought Thornton? It was settled right there and then. He did the honorable thing. And that was far worse than beard pulling.

If it's ok to punch someone in the face, why is it not ok to pull their beard?

I mean, if we like "passion" and fights happen because players hate each other, than pulling a guy's beard out seems to be an indication of passion and hatred.

I find it absolutely hysterical that in an unregulated fight (as opposed to boxing or mma with predrawn rules) someone complains about someone not fighting honorably. If you want an honorable fight then go to the state athletic commission and ask for a boxing match.
 
Maybe the Sharks broadcasters should've been mad they didn't try to fight the scoreboard instead..

People that think Kadri had a big effect on the game last night didn't watch the game very well... The opening faceoff was Kadri's biggest contribution. The penalty to Meier was bad officiating (he hit back at Kadri who slashed him hard), they both went to the box. And Melker Karlsson actually got Kadri to go to the box with him. Melker was probably going to get the only penalty in that instance and Kadri lost his **** lol

The Sharks lost that game because of the way they've been playing of late which results in ****ty high turnovers and constant odd-man breaks. How many breakaways or 2 on 1s did Toronto have this game? Way too many. AND KADRI'S TO BLAME FOR ALL OF THEM!!!! Damn Kadri for causing all those breakaways and 2 on 1s. Damn him! . . . It's been going on for a number of games now. I think Nashville had at least 2 breakaways and I'm sure more than a few 2 on 1 chances on Tuesday. There's a reason Sharks got creamed by Dallas and St. Louis.

The Sharks Defense is their own worst enemy. This isn't news for Sharks fans, but clearly is for the circus that is Toronto media and fans.

But yes, Kadri is the result of the Sharks losing, not their piss poor defense :rolleyes:

The first goal was a direct result of SJ stupidly trying to make a point instead of playing the game.

You are trying too hard.

People talk like Kadri is so Innocent....he played the part well, and in the end he wasn’t going to fight anyone. We may have given it to him, but he gave it right back and still wouldn’t back up his actions. The focus shouldn’t have been there anyway.

Sure, we pressed the issue and Kadri continued to be a pest about it, ultimately ending in their favor regardless. They won because maybe we were to rattled, but in the end Kadri had little to do with their comeback so I don’t see why everyone is so worried about it.

I'm sure he'd have fought Couture or Pavelski if they challenged him. He's not going to trade 5 minute penalties with Barclay Who and Whatsisname Karlsson.

The only people who look bad are those who didn't see the game. Look, I know it's Kadri and all but they were trying to fight him off the start. He was slew footed, he got hit to the back of the head a few times. Sharks players were targeting him the whole game. Even the coach acknowledged this



This has everything to do with Kadri and Thornton's fight last year when Kadri got some of his beard hair during it.



Kadri was just grabbing him Thornton is twice his size, it was a fluke that he got some of his hair that was to chest level during this. Just immaturity all around there.

Lmao, it was actually over Thorntons beard? People were suggesting that as a joke.

Bravo Petey, Bravo.

on top of that Deboer coached Kadri for 2 yrs in jr and he purposely put a guy at C to challenge him. Soooooo maybe Kadri being close friends with J.T talked bad about playing for Deboer.

The honorable thing would have been Kadri to fight and get it over with. Not surprised he declined.

It would be incredibly stupid for Kadri to keep himself off the ice for 5 minutes.

Not really surprised that you'd call it an honourable move. Says a lot about you.

Nah it's because Thornton is upset that he got some pubes ripped off his face from his last year.

It's this. Kadri pulled on Joe's beard last year and now the Sharks were running after Kadri all night.
Kadri was smart enough to ignore them and play hockey, and his team won.
Next time Sharks should just play hockey and score more goals than Toronto, that's how you win hockey games...

A whole hypothetical scenario where Kadri maybe said negative things about when he played 2 yrs for Deboer to J.T. I can't see S.J being that mad over the beard incident, unless the part Kadri ripped out was where Joe' s pet rooster lived lol
