Gurn Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 Excellent-you found where I said Cheating to win is not winning- now find where I said Kane is a cheater. You will find where I've said i don't want him on my team, you'll probably find where I've called him a liar, a trouble maker, a poor teamate, a poor excuse for a person and so on plus mentioned all the other crap this guy has pulled. But I don't think you will find me calling him a cheater. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I don't think you will find me calling him a cheater. But it pretty well was implied when you entered the previous conversation and added that . What ever, I get your stance.. and I can appreciate it without agreeing with it. I just find there is too many on here who don’t know the history of the game, and realize the type of players that have been, and are,. And how,.. even thought the game itself evolves, the different levels of player types are always consistent, there will always be players we don’t like ( or “hate”) who bring an awful lot to the teams and dressing rooms of a Stanley Cup Winning City.

I don't have a problem with jerks on the team, as long as the team is ok with that. Kane- more than a jerk- not fine by me. Too bad though as he is a good player, and sadly the exact kind of, on ice, player we need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pbhatti00 Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 Trade Miller in a package for a top 4 dman and picks. Sign Kane with the salary that would have went to Miller. Team comes out ahead. You'd think Kane would take an opportunity to play in his home town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miller spears McDavid off the face off- Mcdavid is injured and misses the remainder of the year. At the same time Podz slashed Drais hand, breaking 3 fingers and Drais misses the rest of the play offs. Canucks go on to win- all good in your view- cause cheating is fine? I would be celebrating I don’t care how it gets done. What about Boychuk breaking Raymond’s back or Ratboy injuring Salo. Or Duncan Keith taking out Daniel for the playoffs. Nobody gives a damn how you win. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is somebody going to commit 5+ million on a 3-5 year contract for him? Yep I bet Edmonton will give him $5m x 3-4 years if he is judged to be a UFA. And so would quite a few other teams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I don't want, is the team adding a person, with a pretty clear history of being a bad person, lacking in character, who has repeatedly worn out his welcome and become a distraction to numerous teams. No thanks. Nobody is disputing he knows how to play hockey well. Kane, the hockey player, isn't the issue.

Assuming you’re a Blackhawks fan and Patrick Kane beat up the cab driver and then goes on to win a cup? Is that not still winning? And would you not celebrate the cup? Or what about a guy like Pronger who’s celebrated across the league. He plays a bit dirty to say the least would you not want to win? What about Stevens taking out Lindros or Kariya. Would New Jersey fans cry about cheating? Or put yourself in their shoes would you just not celebrate the cup? You should win at all costs imo you shouldn’t apologize for crossing the line a bit. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But while that's your take and you're welcome to it it also puts you on one side of what's a pretty hard line for some folks and no amount of back and forth bantering is going to change that. You seem to value on ice performance above all else, whereas for others it's an issue of character and morality. Morality and one's interpretation and application of morality isn't an insignificant thing, and while perhaps you don't let that bleed into your take in regards to hockey and hockey players, some folks do. I don't agree with your take, but life is full of people with takes we'll never agree with and that's just how things go. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, players interact with each other a LOT off the ice. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Virtanen could hoist the Cup on Van soil and get booed out of the building for what he did off ice. It’s just that kind of crowd. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
