Texsox Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 You seem to be bringing up the point that we have to protect all or nothing. Marking perfect the enemy of better. Change always happens in incremental measures. Hopefully the goal is a no one person's identity isn't used as a slur. If the next area for protection is the LGBT community, well we have to continue somewhere. I believe we started with n*****, which would also get a serious ban.

RockRaines Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 (edited) QUOTE (Tony @ Apr 20, 2016 -> 08:25 PM) I know this is what you are supposed to do on a message board, but the whole argument is stupid. No one should be diminishing what Saad is just because he's gone. He was a big loss, no matter who replaced him. However, in a case like Saad, you can't even really blame the Hawks. That whole situation was a mess, and I believe if he had any other agent, he'd still be a Hawk. I'm not diminishing Saad, he's awesome. But that wasn't be point. The point was Panarin has more than "an argument" at being more valuable moving forward. Because he does. 77 points as a 23-24 year old rookie is crazy good.

By the way, I'm not referring to any particular players or instances of the R-word being used, just kind of curious as to what groups the NHL might decide to stand up for, and what other groups they choose to ignore the slurs for. Just don't get caught on TV screaming any of those words. I believe they are all off limits. It's too bad that's going to be Shaws last game in a Hawks uni and that was his farewell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Middle Buffalo Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 I think the fine, suspension and sensitivity training are all fair and just punishments. Shaw acted like an idiot and lost his composure. To me, what he said is really bad if it was directed at someone who is gay or is thought to be gay. I suspect, though, that it's his ignorant way of emasculating someone. Also bad, but different. Growing up, f** was something kids called each other as a put down. Same as retard. It's not acceptable now, nor should it be. I hope Shaw understands that the player or ref he was yelling at probably doesn't care about what he was yelling (assuming he is not gay). But, a kid at home watching who is gay might be hugely impacted by what he or she was seeing. Back to hockey, I hope the rest of the Hawks can raise their level of effort to that which Shaw brings every time he's on the ice. He never seems to take a shift off.

joejoedairy Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 (edited) When Bowman gave up Dano and Danault at the deadline, getting Ladd was great but I would have preferred a defensive upgrade rather than the two depth forwards they ended up with.

LittleHurt05 Posted April 22, 2016 Author Share Posted April 22, 2016 QUOTE (Tony @ Apr 21, 2016 -> 06:41 PM) They have, and we all hope they do. It just hasn't felt like the same type of team for a while. I can't look past the 1-15-5 record (or something similar) against the Western Conference playoff teams since early February. But hey, if anyone is gonna choke away a series, it would be St. Louis. Get the W tonight, take care of business at home, then it's a coin flip game 7.
