Around The League - 2016 Playoffs

So Andrew Shaw is probably going to be suspended for saying gay a couple of times.

Wouldn't it be hilarious and so NHL that he would be suspended longer than Pierre-Luc Bellemare & his hit on Orlov?

I think he's in bigger trouble for the double middle fingers at the ref while yelling "fuck off, fuck off"

Or is he actually saying "gay, gay" there?
 
We'll see how FlyerFan reacts tonight if the Orange and Black get swept, as I expect. Monday night was embarrassing, to say the least. The media here has been unanimously harsh on the idiots who ruined Ed Snyder's tribute.

He also gave the ref a double bird.

Yeah but this is 2016 where driving someone'a head into the boards is not as big a deal as calling someone a gay.

He said gay twice. One was in the penalty box where he said "**** off, gay" and another time on the ice.

Flipping off the refs won't help him, but probably would have gotten him a fine at most.

Speaking of the refs, what in the hell were they doing when they didn't give him a game misconduct after that? Complete incompetence all night from that crew.
 
I think it's more about the hate speech than the hurt feelings. I highly doubt the ref's feelings were hurt in the slightest.

If I call you a gay when you aren't is it hate speech?

I also don't think the NHL or any league should be policing that. Interesting that the NBA suspended Rondo for saying something similar but they never suspend when one says nigga to another on the court. I suspect the NBA does not want to get into the morass of whether or not old white guys can tell a black man how to use that word.

Is it offensive to people with beards when you refer to MB as "the Beard?"

well it offended some when he was referred to as the Revenant so I supposed it will.

Hell I am probably offending Thornton and Burns by referring to them as Jackson and Longstreet as it implies they were southern slavery proponents
 
TV ratings down 61% NHL and Rogers/Sportsnet are apparently in shock - only some 500K Canadians are tuning in. Traditional data suggests: ratings steeply decrease each round after the first round......things will get a whole lot worse.

Good. I've barely watched the playoffs and I usually do... I am so angry at the amount of $$ I now am forced to pay to watch the Habs... Pfft. :nono
 
true, hell political correctness cost the Clippers' owner his team for something he said in a private conversation to his old lady

Didn't he even say that his 20 year old squeeze could **** black people as much as she wanted, but just not take pictures with them?
