"in America". And by saying that, you're being just as ignorant as you say they are.
You talk about Canadian teams skewing the NHL attendance numbers and, yet, you fail to realize how much basketball has the numbers skewed in their favor. Let's take a look, shall we?
Average Attendance...
Look, I'm not a fan of this either but obviously some people are and they aren't going to change their minds. Especially not because everyone wants to bicker about every little thing.
Just let them continue to praise who they want and, if you don't agree, let it go and move on
Was it about Reimer that I said nobody ever thought Tim Thomas would be anything either? I think it was, either way, I think that makes a lot more sense now.
He's the reason this game isn't closer. Well, that and some terrible play by the Bruins.
He was actually 4th and that was 2 years ago. He hasn't pitched all that well since and you're kidding yourself if you think the Sox wouldn't jump at the chance to trade him if he's pitching well.
And you don't want to call him a bust? Fine, he isn't. He's damn sure a miscalculated...
I agree he should have got 2-4 games but, in any event, they should have just suspended him to not hear everyone up in arms about this.
Some idiot just tweeted that the NHL showed favoritism in their decision today. Yeah, well, Savard would like to know where said favoritism was almost exactly...
lol it's obviously TOTALLY different when it happens to a player on your team.
I think the Cooke hit was different though but we all know, again, my bias towards that so we'll just not have that discussion haha
It's pretty much that. I've watched it a few times and you want to argue that he got his hand up and pushed? Well, in response, I'd probably say that at ANY other part of the ice (or even 3 feet before where the hit took place) Chara is only getting two minutes.
Obviously, as a fan, I'd say...
I don't think I'm at liberty to talk seeing as how I would have a Bruins bias but, regardless, my belief is:
Not intentional/dirty but INCREDIBLY (big understatement there) stupid hit from the captain
