Idk how to say this without offending someone so I'll just say it. QH hasn't (to my knowledge) slowly sulked his way off the ice and then turned around later and freaked out at the backup goalie when they didn't get off the ice fast enough (due to confusion not attitude) In JT Miller, I see similar qualities as Jovo and Bieksa. Were they not also leaders? This team absolutely made the right call! I couldn't see Kesler as a "C" (though he never took a night off even when a playoff spot was already clinched). Bieksa I think had the right temperament to be a "C". But that is just my opinion. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's evolution is team sports, a form of tribalism, safer battles than wars to wage against each other. You know, not all fighters are the insults you use...meatheads, chimps. Just like, not all none fighters are ...pansies, wussies. I am sure you can make your points without using insults. However, in my opinion, being compared to chimps isn't a reduction to me. We are just naked apes ourselves. Evil, hating, smart apes, that are filled with conflict and are killing the planet we walk on. We should hope we could be as gentle as those chimps. I suppose you are against body checks too? legal bodychecks are the leading cause of concussions. I have seen body checks break backs, necks, legs, you name it...they even end careers. 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How could you ever trust a player that would disrespect his fans so intensely by showing respect to the opposition or enjoying the game of hockey. The gall of it all, this is a job, not something that they are to enjoy. It gets worse... I am so sorry to inform everyone but I did some research and...damn, I dont want to even tell you. Ok, I have seen Demko talk with the other team goalies, at the redline before the game is even started! Right out in the open, stretching away, yapping to the enemy. Our Demko! maybe the most important position on the team. My god we're screwed with all these turncoats. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's very human. It will one day be removed from nhl hockey but no need for you to be calling all pugilists names. But if you do, make sure you keep it to the internet for health reasons. Yes, of course. Kevin Bieksa, highly educated meathead seems to have done alright for himself. Perhaps the poster you are responding to feels that if players go to the sit for 2 or 5 minutes in your safe place space would be a better way to setlle a testosterone fuelled score. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your honour, I present to you exhibit A when Ms. Deb & Mr. Miller became bff's on the day of his arrival: 6 hours ago, bishopshodan said: Wait. Quinn once smiled at a friend on the ice? Strip him! bastard. Useless...how could we make such a mistake...we'll never win! Now, my other bff, don't make me drop the gloves here and fight you. It's ok to smile at a friend: 1. during warm ups 2. after your team kicks his team's ass and their bus is pulling out of the parkade 3. when you're both retired and you're sitting back talking about the time you kicked his ass It's NOT ok to smile at a friend: 1. when your team is engaged in a heated scrum and he plays for the opposition It is mandatory that you punch him in the face in that situation. Then smile at him. Cheers PS (I also love Huggy...but my captain will always be Miller) 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's ridiculous if it's true. If one of them spears Petey in the groin...I expect a fight. From whoever's in the vicinity.
