WOW... Lias Andersson throws medal into crowd!!

[Ingolo]

Bob McKenzie, one of the most respected people in the world of hockey, on Andersson throwing his medal into the stands:

1. It’s an emotional game
2. They’re just kids, living and learning.
3. Lias is a fantastic kid and a great player.
4. He could play on my team, if I had one, any time.

I disagree with him, for the reasons I've said, and yet I don't think I'm any more right than him. I think that's what's getting lost here. I'm not angry at anyone for disagreeing with me, I'm just explaining why I feel the way I do. I was just voicing my opinion. Because this is a question of morals and opinions, there is no wrong answer, nor is there a right one. Just opinions.

What a sad thread.

Yes, I’m quite sure “rat tail” was in no way intended to be derogatory.

If you find that to be derogatory, you need to grow some skin.

Ah wonko. More personal attacks. I certainly hope you teach your kids to be better than you.

Says the guy who mocked me for where I am from.

Give me a break. Your posts are rampant with insults and rude personal attacks... more than any other poster on this entire site.

Here's a personal attack for you: You are clearly a young, immature dude who lacks a strong enough education to support his beliefs. Your default reaction whenever someone questions you is to be a snarky know-it-all brat, backhandedly insult them or their opinion, and make some tangental comment that's unrelated to the topic but somehow minces words to try and justify what you're saying. Or you go mute when you know you've lost. Those are all classic traits of insecurity, immaturity, and general stupidity. So good job. I believe you made a post earlier in this thread about how wonko's parents failed him (or maybe it wasn't wonko, it doesn't matter) and you also posted here that he needs to teach his kids to be "better than him". I'll ignore the ridiculousness of comments like that, and the disgust they make me feel. But honestly man, I think it's more likely that your parents failed you. You're thickheaded and argumentative and get off on the fact that people get riled up talking to you. What you seem to miss is that the reason we get riled up talking to you because you don't come across as very bright, your ignorance is blinding, and you end up derailing conversations we were enjoying.

So you know what man, learn to converse like an adult, contribute something positive to a discussion, or just shut the F up. Everyone reads your posts and just shakes their damn head. I've become so sick of you... it seems like you ruin so many decent threads with your word vomit. The site probably would've banned you but your trolling is great for clicks. We are here to talk about hockey topics, not each other. Stop twisting every thread to fit your feebleminded agendas.

Hopefully someone comes around and lock this because it's no longer a real thread, but I feel like this needed to be said.

That would imply I am upset about the remark. I’m simply pointing out it’s intention.

Lol. You can always ignore me, as I have to you. Or not. Your choice.

How about we get back on track and on topic. If you have nothing else to add about the medal getting tossed, maybe it's time to move on to a different thread.

Wonder if he would have kept the bronze medal after winning the bronze game?

[Godin]

Wonder if he would have kept the bronze medal after winning the bronze game?

Why would he even have played?

[PenguinHunter]

Why would he even have played?

Yes he would have played... the whole medal thing was a heat of the moment thing..

To determine to play in the bronze medal game he would have had more time to think about it and make a calculated decision.

Talk about turning a mole hill into a mountain...

[lucafen4]

are we actually still talking about this?

[Run!]

This kid will never play in the NHL as a regular. Every time he hits the ice, they will cut to him throwing his medal. He'll be playing the SEL or KHL regardless of his talents.

I politely disagree... the kid is talented and I think he can become a regular in the NHL. Evander Kane is still a regular in the NHL and I think he has more that the NHL could cut too.

[Run!]

Evander Kane didn't disrespect his country or the tournament. He posed with his loot.

I don't have any skin in the game... but I guarantee the Rangers are regretting drafting the kid. First time on the ice, he will be asked. It'll haunt him forever, as long as he plays in the NHL.
