NHL Hockey thread

[crazy canuck]

PK Subban broke Stone's wrist with that sherwood chop.

Excellent work.

And my disgust with the NHL is affirmed.

[Grey Fox]

Not this, again.

Not this, again.

I know.  It is terrible that this sort of thing keeps happening.

It is sort of an annual tradition. The NHL playoffs start and CC starts getting outraged by the NHL, which means he has more emotions invested in Hockey than 99% of the Florida Panther's fanbase.

Which is the other annual tradition: me making fun of the southern based teams.

It is the time of year that the media goes nuts about hockey and intrudes on my otherwise enjoyable life.

Except to be fair Stone's wrist has a "microfracture", which is a fancy term for a bone bruise.

True, but any sport that allows a player to continue competing after intentionally using their equipment as a weapon because its the "playoffs" is worthy of scorn.

Again, to be fair, he wasn't allowed to continue.  He was ejected from the game.

[Grey Fox]

half a game is appropriate.

[crazy canuck]

half a game is appropriate.

And not to beat a dead horse but that is exactly why I think the NHL brand of hockey will always enjoy limited appeal

[Grey Fox]

and the opposite is why I think Basketball is boring.
