Pre-game planning session in Kings locker room:

 

"Ok, we are going to try and skate with this team, let's fly up and down the ice, turn this into a track meet. If that doesn't work, let's take ridiculously stupid penalties. Got it? Good. Now let's go win the hit stat!!!"

How many more dead grandpas do we need to get some life out of this team?

 

Kane just lost it in the post game interview. Haven't seen him cry like that since Savard was fired. Kudos to him for even seeing the media after the game. He had an amazing game all around.

Really? I thought for sure with the pulled goalie that everyone would try and get Kaner the hattrick for his gramps. And maybe they were, but never got the chance. Still, he played great.

Oshie is beasting right now for the blues, another game winner last night.

 

That being said, Hawks can go get this one tonight and enter the break on a high note.

 

It's annoying that the Blues have had 3 games in hand for seemingly months now. Although their March will probably be tougher. Win one for KANER tonight.

Yea it's very annoying they have the schedules like that but I think with a tough March we'll see just how good the blues truly are, +1 for the Kaner add.

NEWS ALERT: Penguins defenseman Kris Letang will miss at least six weeks after having a stroke last week http://pens.pe/1jkmxmE

 

That's so crazy, at such a young age in such good physical shape. Good that he should make a full recovery.

My friend at 22 suffered a stroke, it was strange, he just started slurring his words and vomiting, and the furthest thing from your mind is stroke. It took him a while to get back to full strength.

Edit: NSFW due to language, lot of swears in the video. Don't blast your speakers.

 

Hockey related, so let's throw it here. The video will tell you what you need to know.

To me, it's tough to tell if the ref purposely threw him down, or if he grabbed him and then slipped and fell on him. Either way, I must say, all these parents can go to hell. I see this in youth sports all the time. Your kid or team acts like a bunch of idiots, and what's the first thing they do? Try to find the ref/umpire at fault for either causing it, not breaking it up, breaking it up too forcefully, etc. You can hear the woman beforehand, "get your hands of our kids." Hey, idiot, the refs are there to break up fights, they kinda sorta have to put hands on your stupid, fighting 12 year olds in order to break it up, no? It is 100% acceptable for refs to "touch your kids" to break up a fight. The end. If they let them just wail on each other, they'd be in the wrong, too, and get yelled at that for that. "Break it up!"

 

Criminal charges? Seems ridiculous to me, but whatever. Your kids started the whole thing by fighting (or something along those lines), then continuing to slash. Maybe I'm an asshole, but the kid had what was coming to him after the thing was done and he decided to keep slashing. You want criminal charges? Guess what, the coach who left the bench to start hitting the ref could face them, too, if you want to play that game. Assaulting a referee/umpire can face some major charges. Oh, and how about the little prick kids slashing the ref with their sticks?

 

I wish the video was more clear, but even if he grabbed the kid and brought him down to separate him, IMO, he's within his rights to do so to isolate the kid and make him not a problem. If there was no injury, I think this should be a non-issue. In hockey, there have been instances where refs end up on top of guys wrestling them to the ice - I've played in travel games and HS games where this happened. Hell, I probably was the guy being isolated at some point.

 

You put the ref in one hell of a spot, and of course, your angel kids can do no wrong. I don't agree that he should be slamming people to the ice on purpose, or to hurt them, certainly, but I think criminal charges is giant load of s*** at this point, and I hope he doesn't get in trouble for it. But, again, from that video, I'm not 100% positive he slammed him to the ice on purpose, though from the once bouncy angle it looks like it.

 

Anyway, gotta love youth sports and parents. Sometimes it's a wonder anyone wants to ref or umpire games for kids with the s*** pay and the abuse you take (I'm not just talking about this incident). Myself included.

Watching that video makes me want to vomit. That little fat piece of s*** Kainan Bell goes to start a fight, the ref goes to stop him, slips, and lands on the kid. The f***ing hillbilly horrible mother screaming the f-bomb well before the incident is 10x worse. Mistakes happen.

 

Parents in sports can be brutal, and this is one of the worst examples I've seen. For those parents to proudly release that video is sickening, given how they look in it. I like how their kid has such horrific injuries that they are yelling "WE GOT YOU REF!" and not even bothering to see if their kid is actually alright.

 

F*ck everything about this story.

ALOT of those fights involve the indian reservation kids and families up there, it didnt surprise me to see this one did too. They have a reputation for getting drunk and unruly at these kids games.

 

 

Tensions remained high after the on-ice incident, leading to an altercation between several adults in a hallway between two rinks at the community centre, police said, adding an investigation is underway into whether any charges will be laid.

 

And that looks like a fake cast/sling.
