King Heffy Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 Sent the following email to Sportsnet: I am appalled that you are providIng a platform for this unprofessional buffoon to make inexcusable jokes about head injuries, especially when the injury is a result of a dirty play. This is unprofessional and should be considered grounds for immediate termination of employment. Given that you are the sole broadcaster for the Canucks, I'll still be watching your broadcasts. However, I will make sure I do not patronize any of your advertisers until you do the right thing and fire Francis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rekker Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 Really, as Canuck fans we should be emailing Sportsnet in an effort to get this clown off the air. Edit. Email sent. This guy is a complete moron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rather than butthurt whining about butthurt Calgary. Canuck fans should hope every team in the league views this as a WWE joke. DOPes looks bad, I don't care who it comes from but the more negative press for the NHL the better. This has the potential to become the next "vote for Rory" or John Scott affair, pointed straight at DOPeS. I do not choose to look at this as a slap at the Canucks but rather DOPeS I meant I thought his joke was funny but ok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewbieCanuckFan Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 How about Justin Trudeau holding a contest to enact a policy similiar to his Dad's "National Energy Program". Guess those in Calgary would fine humor in that as well....I'm not even sure that noted Canucks/Vancouver hater Mark Spector would stoop this low.

Odjick29willkillyou Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 As someone who was slew footed from behind and had the dman's elbow literally drive me into the ice like a wrestling move, I take this stuff seriously. I was diagnosed with whiplash and a concussion the next day because I could not finish a sentence in our morning briefing at work nor could I move my head. I felt a very familiar feeling when they showed the replay and EP40 could not get up on his own. I remember trying to get up and the tendy yelling for the ref because I had Bambi legs. It is a damn scary feeling. After four on-ice concussions I have really had to be cognizant with on-ice awareness and potential head contact which even in non-contact can be unavoidable at times.

Saved_by_Jesus Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 As is evident in other threads, I am extremely upset about the "hit" by Matheson and I was really upset at the response by the Canucks... But I have no problem with this. It's just a joke, and I don't even think it is meant to be at "Pettersson's expense". I think it is more of a comment on how the hit was more of a wrestling move than a hockey play, which I think we can all agree with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
