This world is just becoming soft. It's actually sad. Next OP will suggest the players don't trash talk so they don't hurt anyone's feelings. i agree 20000% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harvey Specter Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 For what it's worth, Motte has chimed in on the situation (perhaps Gaudette will do the same in a bit) On the point of the hit / slewfoot, it was definitely more dangerous than most hits, especially in a team practice but the intensity is understandable while each player on the ice, especially the bottom-6 are all fighting for regular playing time in a condensed season. Stay healthy boys, it'll be a battle over the next few months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

c00kies Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 You are forgetting that taking a hit is a skill as well, and should be practiced alongside the other mandatory skills. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayDangles Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 Take hitting out of training camp? Then you'd end up with a team full of Eriksons and playoff mode Virtanens! There are two separate non- issues connected here. #1 -Motte slew foots two of his team mates during a practice scrimmage. #2 - Gaudette took exception and a scrap ensued. Non-Issue #1 will be dealt with off the ice. Greener and I'm sure 1 or two guys in the room will say something, either in passing or directly. It will end there. Non-Issue #2 is fun for fans to discuss, but in hockey, down at ice level this is nothing. Notice how the team is tapping sticks and acting chill. This is nothing these fellas haven't seen before. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Zepp Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 All I will add it is pretty clear a lot of the people posting on CDC about this issue (not just this thread) have clearly never been part of a professional hockey camp (let alone an NHL camp). Think of growing up with 30ish brothers and how many fights and less than nice tricks you would play on them....that is what a team is and sometimes the rough stuff goes too far and everyone involves knows that....Mom and Dad step in, have a chat and all is good. If there is a camp when such doesn't happen I would wonder about they guys far more. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gauds probably helped the team out by dropping the gloves. Had he not, there might have been some issues (albeit minor—it’s a good room and the guys would get past it quickly) after the game, but a fight can settle things much quicker, and probably to a man, the Canucks felt like the issue was resolved on the ice. Without the fight, maybe that isn’t the case, and there’s a little locker room tension, but nothing they couldn’t handle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean you couldn't possibly be berating folks posting on CDC for not knowing about NHL camps because they haven't been part of them... when you have literally the exact same level of knowledge and experience. That wouldn't make sense at all and would be a really dumb position to take, so I have to assume you are a former NHLer now wasting their time on the forum. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't see why this should change at all. Ya , slew footing in practice isn't. Whatever though. U do u. This has nothing to do with whether they actually kissed and made up or not. It's one guy putting himself above the team. Risking injuring a teammate to better ur position on the team is idiotic and selfish.

Nuxfanabroad Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 Slew foots are unnecessarily dangerous. I hope these 2 were not as blatant as they appeared on my small pc screen. I like Motte a lot..but this looked like some excessive risk. That said, am sure the coaches nip it in the bud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeremyCuddles Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 Coulda just slapped this in the Motte thread, but it's fine to have hitting in training camp. Motter just made a really dumb play. Even in a real game that play was beyond stupid. He could hurt someone doing something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a lot of friends and family playing hockey in Europe and also have or do play in NA in the dub AHL and NHL. Motte and Gaud's encounter is everyday business. Gaud for sure got some credit from his teammates for retaliating but probably also got ribbed for throwing like a girl. Anyway, It is a good sign that these guys are going at it a little bit. Ya tough if someone actually gets hurt but that's also part of the deal. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firstly, he just said they haven’t been part of a professional hockey team. Plenty of people have. Secondly, he was an NHL player. Briefly, but plenty of pro experience.
