[PGT] New York Rangers at Vancouver Canucks | Jan. 04, 2020

ahh- didn't know that was consensus on him. i think he's going to be really good tbh. -
We had one of these a number of years ago to some success and should maintain another one now that the team is good-ish again (...and only getting better ). I am tired of being memed and ridiculed upon sharing legitimate thoughts and analysis and would enjoy a more laid-back and constructive approach to Canucks discussion on the forum, which could only possibly be afforded by the wonderful group of humans who now frequent these areas of expression. The road to happiness is definitely in White Noise somewhere. After years of dedicated thought and study, that much I am certain of. I am hopeful that this thread will in some way contribute to our finding it... the missing hyperlink (to happiness). I think it was in a count to a million thread or something, but those were outlawed strategically by high command to force us into sorrier states, to crush our noble efforts to escape this silly labyrinth, and what used to be there I fear is no longer extant anywhere on the interwebs. I think this might be a good way of finding it--or a new one--is all 'm expressing.

I guess I don't know hockey considering all the confused reactions? He should be a 1st-pairing defenceman for a very long time and possibly consistent top-15 d-man throughout his prime. It's nice to watch him play in his rookie year even if he's not QH. He's on 40-point pace as a 21-year-old and quarterbacking their late-game empty net rush as the sole man at the point. A team that just outplayed us heavily trusts him with that. It's cool imo. Could someone tell me why I'm dumb? -

Adam Fox is a wonderful talent; we were lucky to watch him tonight. -

Aaron Rome tried. God knows he tried...

safer, then? we're both talking about hockey, yes, just in different centuries.
-
okay so if a safe work environment isn't important, why do goalies wear masks? just because every one since jacques plante has been a marvel superhero with a double-secret identity of playing ice hockey? they go into the dressing room, sneak out the back dressed up like bums, and have their PR guy come out to handle the media and pretend he was in net while looking nothing like them? for what purpose? like what do the superheroes get from it? or are they villains?
-
Yeah. I don't mean to say by all of my posts that he's obviously a Marchand-type or that his reputation is never going to recover. He has a chance still, but whether we like it or not, he's at a point where he has to learn pretty quickly imo. It wasn't an elbow if you watch all the angles; but that doesn't matter because all hits to the head are illegal under iihf rules iirc.
-
did i? i didn't bring up their names and only entered into discussion on them when other people made remarks. this started on someone else's hypothetical that we have a marchand and that it's a good thing. this is the 21st century, and major sports organizations have a legal and ethical obligation to ensure that their games are played in a manner as safe as possible owing to the obvious restrictions on that that will always be there. and they have,--for reasons that are surprisingly easy to grasp with a basic level of empathy and understanding of the importance of the brain to its individual and their entire network + family,--a major duty to prevent head injuries and fight the long-entrenched cultures that create people like you who think head trauma is lols and giggles and manly-man stuff people need to drink beers to get over. subsequently, as neither you nor myself nor nils hoglander are doctors, nils hoglander, to our best understanding, has both a /professional/ and /moral/ obligation to follow the hockey authority's rules concerning what they consider fair contact regarding head-plays, as these are informed by scientific research and consultations with neuroscientists and medical doctors who have a much better comprehension on these topics and the ethics of such plays within the sport of ice hockey. 'tirade' is exaggeration. i just don't think we have very good opinions in here and that they're kind of dangerous to be waving like flags and get kind of frustrated when anyone utters a different view that they are mocked with base, base emojis.
-
for the record- in looking at the video, i don't think the hit was /that/ bad. but i also say this knowing i have a bias. what i think made nils deserving of the penalty (esp. under iihf jr rules...) is that, while he started by bracing for a hit, it obviously wasn't coming, and he had an opportunity either to try to avoid as much contact as he could--seeing as denisenko was vulnerable--or continue into contact. he should have known it was a dangerous play and particularly tried to avoid contact with denisenko's head, which i don't think he did. denisenko made a mistake and put himself in a bad position, but nils should have played more within the remit of this tournament's rules and with more respect to its scope of age considering he normally plays in a men's league. what i find disturbing is that it's his second failure under two different hockey jurisdictions to remain eligible for all contests owing to a judged major infraction. it's honestly concerning, especially if you're from another fanbase. i don't think it's right at this point to be defending him so openly; my response to the earlier event when it happened was that i wanted to give nils the benefit of the doubt but would hope he does nothing this borderline again in his career. and i think this was considered quite a fair take on here at the time, unless i'm misremembering and only talked about it in other circles. and now that he's done something quite questionable-to-bad again, i'm going to be just crossing my fingers that nothing like this comes from him in a long time and that if/when it does, it's another 'well, seems he honestly didn't mean to thing' that doesn't end up putting a hardworking person out of work and health for 3+ months. i think this forum tends to misunderstand how devastating that must be for a person.

i am not a squeamish person, and it's not about my sensitivities. it's about fostering a safe work environment for people so they don't develop CTE. will collisions with the head ever be removed from the game completely? probably not. but you're clueless if you don't think hoglander has an obligation both professionally and otherwise to follow the rules within the leagues he plays in (and to re-evaluate himself when he gets hit with suspensions/game removals), and your ability to deflect blame and cover for him shows that you're entirely blind toward the actual important topic here of where the kid's reputation is heading and what happens if he keeps getting penalized on dangerous plays he could have mitigated. i feel like the culture on this website is still 10 years ago.
-
imo there's no place in this organization for Wilsons/Marchands. if he turns out to be a dirty crop,--which all i'm saying is becoming likelier truth the more he doles out illegal hits,--i'd like for him to have a good, non-prejudiced and open discussion with team coaching/management here and given the opportunity to make appropriate adjustments to his game for the safety of his opponents, i guess because i'm not from the stone age and believe hockey players have a right to earn their living in a safe environment that prioritizes their surviving to retirement with their brain in tact. if he can't adjust well, i would prefer him to be shipped out. the players in the NHL are doing their /jobs/. when they are on the ice, they are working. they do not deserve to go to a location of employment and have people who are their colleagues running gun at their heads. that's just ridiculous, and as a respectable team we should recognize it and make sure nothing of that type of play manifests within the talent we pick at the draft and then develop into the league.

He didn't let her. He was in 'own the lib' mode.

You can't prove it's wrong.

reddit does quite a bit to influence player reputations, yeah. i think if there's a pattern of 5-and-game penalties and/or suspensions that the player has to sit down and think about what they need to do to play within the rules better. as i understand it, there was another concerning play by hoglander that wasn't penalized sometime- not sure whether it was this season or last. but if he doesn't want to become another 'rat' among other fanbases/league officials, he does need to calm down, sorry to say. another poster said it well; we are all biased when evaluating the sportsmanship of our prospects/players. that people laugh at the guy who points this out is sadly good tell of the quality of discussion that can be had here.

this cdc place is an echo chamber of opinions i will never understand.
-
did edler do anything like this to another player before he was 20? the other guy hasn't played since- and this was early october. look at the reponses on reddit; people are already seriously tying his name to players like marchand. if that's the reputation he's gaining for himself, there's something that needs to be removed from or altered within his game, probably.
-
Nils is going to develop such a reputation as Tom's if these 5-and-games continue, end of story.

hog just got 5 and a game... ~4 minutes into the game.
