Shift-4 Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 35 minutes ago, Hugor Hill said: PL was essentially saying how the Sedins are as good men as hockey players get yet they get no respect from not just other players but broadcasters around the different markets. He went as far as saying 'it makes my blood boil' when the Sedins are mistreated. Good man. Thanks Good man indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They actually had a big meeting amongst the NHL broadcasters last summer to touch on just this, the over the top homerism.. The kind that makes John Garret look like a Bruins fan With so many people watching games out of market the NHL believes it was actually hurting their bottom line because people would just choose to not tune in. The Sedins are two of the finest human beings to ever grace this fair city. We are blessed! Denis Potvin is a waste of our breath! NESN obviously missed that meeting.

They control all the licensing of the broadcasts and should perhaps start handing out fines and suspensions for such outbursts as Potvin's. Panthers fans on HF hate Potvin anyway. Just putting this out there as someone in the other thread said that Panthers fans were defending Potvin which isn't true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skeena1 Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Statement From Florida Panthers Television Analyst Denis Potvin: "My choice of words at the conclusion of the Vancouver game on Monday should have been more appropriate. In the passion of the moment and under the circumstances of how the game ended, they came out wrong. For that I'm going to extend my sincere apologies to Daniel Sedin, Trevor Linden and the Canucks organization." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viking mama Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 As the truth begins to unfold here....Willie Mitchell & Roberto Luongo need to man-up on behalf of their team and set the record straight about the Sedins with these eastern media & Panther-fan types. The post-game fly by the Panther bench by the streak-breaker D. Sedin to stare down the offending player like an angry librarian,...is simple behavior corrrection. The game's results = karma. The hockey-gods were simply delivering this dufuss a message that his 'mates & the league have failed to deliver. Bet the offending comments were made by a player from one of those other league 'enabled' teams,... who win abetted by refereeing atrocites, the mis-interpretation of bogus drama & by un-curbed violence. Those teams hype-up players who have become somewhat mis-wired, & unable to learn the many of the life-lessons that rest of our world does.

RonMexico Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Apology acknowledged. Florida can continue to be irrelevant even when they are at the top of the standings. Bottom five attendance for a team that is in the top 5 of the league right now. Pathetic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like who told him to apologize and what were the repercussions to himself if he didn't? Aren't those called self-serving and backhanded apologies?

theminister Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Apology not accepted. Let's see him make a 5 figure donation to the BC Children's hospital in the Sedin's name and then I'll think about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuxfanabroad Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 5 hours ago, DIBdaQUIB said: Potvin is irrelevant in the hockey world and that bothers him. He needs little sound bites aimed at a small fan base to generate attention. Pathetic what he has become. As for the Sedins, this is actually just drawing the attention of the classier press to stand up and express how wrong those comments are and how much unjustified criticism and abuse the twins have faced. Pierre LeBrun was very outspoken about how he has never seen two classier guys in the league and that the abuse they take on and off the ice "pisses me off". The Twins will be more fondly remembered and be more respected as players and peoples than Denis Potvin by a significant ,margin. I do believe the NHL should take steps to curtail the degree of homeristic comments being made by broadcasters as it is creating a degree of animosity and unprofessionalism that should concern the league brass. They control all the licensing of the broadcasts and should perhaps start handing out fines and suspensions for such outbursts as Potvin's. Solid post.

amitriptyline Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Peanut butter licking? Is that supposed to be funny? That is beyond retarded. And to call Daniel a classless lowlife. That is the most asinine commentary I have ever read in my time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Botchford said today on 1040 that this was in fact not true. Players from the Canucks who were there, contacted him and had said this was not true. Both Sedin's said it was about them and them alone. However, how bad did it have to be to get that upset? By this time in their careers, you would have to think they have about heard it all so whatever it was must have been way over the line. RT @BMacDonnieMoj: Botchford: I can confirm 100% what was said to the Sedins included nothing regarding Rick Rypien. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
