The NHL should get in touch with the Catholic Church and see how to get away with just reassigning or sick leaving these motherfuckers
So, “Playoff Price” is really just regular Carey Price loaded up with a critical mass of painkillers and steroids?
Waiting for the story of Brian Burke walking around with his pants at his ankles because it looks cool to seem like you have no time to get ready for work.#CancelCulture is hitting the NHL. Fucking lefty woke mob!

This trope has been taken over in the politics world.... the demasculinization of men.I'm sure douchebags whining about lefty mob and cancel culture will be all over this one.
It isn't Price, it's Habs management. All they do is lie.if my memory serves, this... directly contradicts the statement(s) released by the Habs at the time he entered the program?
not a good look to lie about that type of thing...
Eichel living the life in Vegas right now
It’s like that in all sports to some degree. Even in baseball, the number of sketchy, borderline abusive things that happened and we all just chalked it up to that just being how things are. The only way to really stand up to it was to quit.That's a staple of hockey culture. Really wish I had the balls to come out to try to cancel people back in the day. Some of that shit is traumatizing.
Masculinity in a violent blood sport like hockey isn't toxic, it's an absolute necessity.This trope has been taken over in the politics world.... the demasculinization of men.
Joe Rogan being the new king of red meat eating, beer drinking men who punch each other in the nuts and don't even have any feelings.
They will be the first to say that Hockey has gone soft. So stupid.
And if you use the words Toxic Masculinity, it just further plugs their ears and makes them rage even more.
Physical assault is one thing but if we're going to fire coaches because they hurt a player's feelings then I have officially lost the will to live. If you as a player can't function because your coach chewed you out then you have chosen the wrong career and you will amount to nothing as a player. There's no such thing as a safe space in the real world. Reality doesn't give a shit about your feelings. A pro athlete, if he wants to keep earning a paycheck, needs to maintain a high level of performance. If he can't handle pressure or criticism, if he's going to assume the fetal position every time his coach yells at him, then he's too fragile to be in pro sports.Ya, I had a coach who physically assaulted one of our players (he was a friend and a big time shit disturber but, like, you can’t put a 14 year old in a choke hold)…

Masculinity in a violent blood sport like hockey isn't toxic, it's an absolute necessity.
In the 72 Summit Series that Canada was in the process of losing and being humiliated in, Bobby Clarke and his toxic masculinity (and the Sher-Wood he was carrying at the time) purposely broke Valeri Kharlamov's ankle, rendering him ineffective for the balance of that series, a series that he had been dominating up to that point.
Nobody wins anything in this sport without being a type A, full on Messier-like asshole who is prepared to kill to win. And yes, the sport today has become a repository of euroweenie sissy boy phonies who push and shove but don't hit unless the other guy isn't looking. And in the playoffs when the referees no longer protect them those players are exposed as the frauds they are. Do you think that the reason why Matthews and Marner choke every year in the playoffs is because they aren't talented? No, it's because they're a couple of pussies when all is said and done. Matthews is the epitome of what Humphrey Bogart described as a "pocket edition desperado" a phony tough guy. The two of them could use a healthy dose of some masculine toxins in time for the next playoff game. Sidney Crosby is every mother's dream and a great hockey player. But he won 3 Cups mostly by being the kind of player who would gladly cut your heart out and show it to you if you got between him and his destiny.
Toxic masculinity is pervasive and accepted in the NHL because it works. Unfortunately, some of the people involved don't know how to turn it off once they leave the ice and it bleeds into other aspects of their lives. But on the ice, toxic masculinity isn't a problem. If anything the game doesn't have enough of it.
