GB5 Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 Back in the Yzerman Lidstrom playing days Detroit played tough but honest and exciting hockey. I always appreciated their honest work ethic and pure form, I hope they are not starting a regression from that by resorting to name calling and after the whistle cheap shots. To me that is not Red Wing hockey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me that is not Red Wing hockey. I actually feel like we're approaching that "tough but honest" area in Vancouver. We might not be at the same level the Red Wings were during their time, but we have a lot of hard workers on the team now that clearly make things tough for the opponent. I really think this is something that should help us come playoff time a lot. If we already have the drive with some of our players, I can imagine that drive being contagious. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems like the message is standing up for one another finally It so irritated me as early as last year BB and others skating away after seeing EP or QH dumped like they never saw it happen or not my problem attitude So far it seems like a tougher team mentality and getting involved 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s an offensive term nowadays. Even a $5K fine would send the right message. Lol. Are u serious? Edited October 18, 2021 by cuporbust 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slegr Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 I’d say midget is nowhere near the N word, but on the same level as calling someone retarded. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they have the wrong info? Edit :I'll answer my own question, the google is wrong ! on their conversion, 1.78m is 5'10" ....my bad. Did more digging and there is a bit more to this, apparently people have said he has fibbed about his height for a while and claim he is shorter than 5'10" ...anyway Zadina is a punk. Edit 2: ahhh, Dumb Bish gets it now, the google convert is a % of a foot at so it show 5.839895 Edited October 18, 2021 by bishopshodan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact we are debating this in depth is hilarious to me. He called him a midget. Who cares . The M word? Is this thread for real? " well, connor is a little shorter than some other players , so he may suffer some kind of personal trama from this " right ?

alt kilgore Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 I think it’s a compliment in a way. https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/midget midget (plural midgets) (originally) A little sandfly. Although tiny and just two-winged, midgets can bite you till you itch all over your unprotected skin. (loosely) Any small swarming insect similar to the mosquito; a midge. (sometimes offensive) A normally proportioned person with small stature, usually defined as reaching an adult height less than 4'10". [from later 19th c.] (sometimes offensive) Any short person. (attributively) A small version of something; miniature. if he takes it as the the first two definitions. He’s a little pest and proud of it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The "N" word is bad, but it's nowhere near the "single most offensive", because anything involving racial undertones is just as bad. I said arguably, and stand behind it.

Decent people care if they are using derogatory terms and racial slurs. What's really pathetic is people, peticularly young people, who refuse to acknowledge that society has shifted to the point we actually care about those around us.

No, it's shifted to the other ridiculous extreme. That's pathetic. Hard times create strong people. Strong people create easy times. Easy times create weak people. Rinse, repete .

If this was true , connor mcgregor wouldn't be one of the biggest superstars in sports . I can't stand that extreme either, but don't tell me human nature has changed . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanleyCupOneDay Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 6 hours ago, Patel Bure said: It was a dumb post(s) of mine. I got fired up in the moment as I was typing those “criminal charges against Zadina” posts. It’s ok, we all go overboard in reacting to a situation sometimes, especially so for one that hits close to home due to our own experiences. It’s a good thing to be able to admit you got it wrong and is a trait more people need to have. I can only speak for myself, but for me I find if I’m ever feeling a strong negative emotion such as fear, anger or sadness (to name a few, there are many more) I tend to not react appropriately to whatever situation has caused that emotion. I do better when I take time to process instead of reacting right away. When I react instantly is usually when I end up being wrong. Like for example the one time I got in a road rage situation being stuck behind someone driving 10-20 km/h below the speed limit. I was late and felt frustrated, but in hindsight potentially putting other people at risk by increasing the likelihood of an accident caused by myself or the other driver was the wrong response and made things worse. I haven’t been in a road rage incident since then. We all make mistakes, as long as we can learn from them that’s the important part and what makes us become better people for it. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
