Steve Simmons is such a shit head. I have never understood his schtick.. unless he's just has old man (white man) hockey brain
When Stevie traded up to get a second 1st rounder that year I would've bet the house it was for Wallstedt. Nope we got Cossa. Still think Wallstedt was the right choice but time will tell.
FWIW as you well know Jeff Vinik is basically a god in this community and from what I've heard he's a very good person on a human to human level. We'll see what happens.
It said he was a few years into his nhl career so St Louis right, expect absolutely nothing to come of it
So long ago but thinking back and knew for a 99% fact early Wizards Kwame Brown was banging a 16 year old I knew and whole school just thought it funny/she was a slut I’m not making any sort of statement
That is another misconception, females are also part of the problem. There is a weird toxicity about hockey wife hierarchy
I'm fascinated to know how you intend to tie Ian Cole allegedly grooming a minor into a feminine issue
I remember when Rossi finished his first season with the 67’s and he was projected to “only” be a top 10 pick in 2020. I thought there are 5-10 players better than him? If you look back at the draft tho… how much higher would he go in a redraft?
He is a piece of crap. Probably the most loathed media member up here. It’s too bad because he can make some good observations but always seems to fall back on his cuntish ways.
what in the world does any of that have to do with women and minors being sexually assaulted by hockey players?
Never said it did. His comment was about hockey wives. As was mine. Try not being an ass for once. Just try.
He’s saying that females are part of the problem is the misconception. As in she shouldn’t have been wearing that dress mentality. He’s not blaming the female in his comment; he’s saying those that believe a woman plays a part in being assaulted are a problem.
we're talking about Ian Cole and IHHH said "females are part of the problem". and you responded to that talking about Hoffman and Karlsson's wives. it feels like you're just trying to find a way to drag women into this by bringing up something completely unrelated. no clue how I'm being an ass.
He never said females are the problem; you are just looking to bag on him. He then commented on hockey wives which is a separate issue than Ian Cole and his alleged assaults.
No, he's not blaming the woman who was groomed and assaulted. He's saying that women in society are part of the problem in addition to men. Jesus
Not at all how I interpret what he said. Guess we will let him clarify but in no way do I read it as him blaming a woman or implying women in society are to be blamed.
Hate to say it, but the canucks are right on this one. The quote is… While that English is fucked, he clearly is calling that out for being a misconception.
There’s nothing more dangerous to a thread than an ambiguous IHHH post left unchecked from the night before.
When I was in middle school a blues player was banging a friends older sister and everyone knew about it. She was still in HS. We all thought it was great because it meant there was slight chance we got to hang out w Blues players. Alas, we did not. Just looked them up. Appears they are married w 3 kids now.
hey, that’s not cool what I meant is that women are also part of the hockey culture problem by putting these fuckers on a pedestal because they are good at a sport. Hockey is almost a religion up here and in some parts of usa, it’s not healthy i am not blaming the women, I am saying that the issue is deep as hell and it goes further than what is on the surface. reading the Ian cole story reminded me of some shit I saw, girls being passed around like they are just a toy and they go with it because they want to be popular and hang with the hockey team. At the end of the day the guys doing this crap are dirtbags and should get the punishment, but there is some education that could be done here to young women.
Sounds like Elmer Soderblom might have made the Wings roster. Guy is 6’8” and looks ridiculous on the ice but he has some ridiculous hands.
