this is pucking stupid, in multiple ways. DC, before you read it you need to wrap your head with duct tape...

Was there a pandemic?
So...the premise is supposedly to reduce concussions. I want to know of the 323 fights in the league....how many of those resulted in concussions...FROM THE ACTUAL FIGHT?
AND more importantly, by eliminating fighting (or punishing those who fight) and REDUCING the number of fights....how many MORE concussions will be added because there is no Whoop-ass response from the team's tough guys for questionable hits (which lead to concussions)?

Well, when you have someone suffering from CTE as your DoPS....head scratching moves will be made
-
They should really eliminate any contact at all. Pucks shouldn't be so damn hard either! :)
-
Next they're going to demand that all players be awarded with participation trophies and receive ice cream after the end of each game, win or lose, in order to receive pandemic relief funds.
-
I don't get it. Why would they do this
hockey is no longer a legal sport.
You can box, or... horse race, the cause o"Sport" ?f the most deaths annd injuries in gist
Oh fuck of. You got the H ha ha ! You got the gist!
Stuuuupid bloody computer. :lol:

No concussions in sports is like telling soldiers not to shoot to kill

Fake country? Your country is a fucking joke. As is your president. The majority of you think you're so great but in reality you're the laughing stock of the world.

there is so much more going on than what cnn is telling you, but you appear to be better off believing them

Easy there Frenchy. He said Faux. Not Fake. :raspberry:
I think someone might have peed in your Red River cereal this morning.
Our country is certainly not a joke. And if you think the current president is....just wait for the next one.
And I don't know if the majority of us think we are great (because I don't know the majority of us), but I do know that a small minority of us actually are. And how exactly did you gain this knowledge of what the majority of us think? Or the knowledge of the reality of what the entire rest of the world thinks of us? By watching what is reported on the "news"?
-

I don't watch CNN, look at the state your country is in with covid, total lack of leadership at the top.
And faux is fake in French if you didn't realize that but I'd expect that from self centered egotistical minds.
I'm not French either, but I'm a proud canadian that is not going to back down from derogatory comments like the ones posted above. I've worked in your country and have seen the way you guys treat the lower class there and it's pathetic in my mind. I've been to more cities to watch games and follow the caps than probably any of you have. New York, New Jersey, Columbus, buffalo, Detroit, Pittsburgh, Chicago, San Jose, LA and Washington numerous times.

Because it's common knowledge that if you go to Europe and you are Canadian you gain way more respect than Americans. Some Americans that go there put a maple leaf on the backpack just to save themselves from being looked down upon. Your country only cares about itself and that why you didn't join ww2 until pearl harbor. Canadians are embraced for what we've done to help out during both world wars and man for man have one of the strongest armies. Remember the battle of 1812? Probably not because your school systems are too embarrassed to teach that war. Your military goes to poverty cities and picks the poor out to fight for you because that's the only chance they have of making a dime. I'm not against all Americans because some I've met in my travels are great people but lots aren't and the way those that aren't carry themselves and think they and their country is the greatest rubs me the wrong way. I come to these boards often more to read than to post and seeing bullshit like this I won't stand for and have to say something. Sorry if you don't agree with my point of view but I'm going to express it and we can all agree to disagree after I post what I feel on the subject.

wow, makes me think every Canadian is a self absorbed liberal
and this ignorant
-
Put me down for not giving a -single fuck- what the "rest of the world" thinks.. Don't get wrong, Covid was dead scary!!! ...4-6 months ago. Lot of "the world" don't wanna accept were late in the 3rd here.. All you hear now is how many people are "getting" it. Which isn't gonna change, ANYWHERE in the world.. (think FLU, it doesn't ever go away) BUT! We just watched a 74 year old fat man recover from it in 2 days. Everyone in his cabinet apparently got it.. How many you think are gonna die? Therapies for that shit are getting better and better by the week. Protect the elderly/vulnerable, but get out of that hole and start living again!! Life is short.. :hearts:

I will remind certain faux French board member(s) that one of the rules of this forum states:
- "No Douchebaggery as defined by the Oxford Dictionary."
That will be all.
TRUMP 2020, MAGA, WWG1WGA, and all that!
Best President EVER!

Self absorbed for standing up for ourselves? It's ok for you guys to speak your minds and give your opinion but not alright for me to stand up for a country that I live in and love after someone trashed it? And for the liberal part of things, yes I am liberal and damn proud of it. No one cared to comment on my facts from my previous post which doesn't surprise me one bit. Facts are facts and I just laid them out for "y'all"
I know twice as much about the NHL than any of you no doubt and actually coming to the site on draft day and no one really mentioning fuck all about it was discouraging. I'm a real caps fan and have been since I was old enough to know what's what and picked a team to cheer for. I was there when big bad DC (by the way great city you come from, "that's America and you should be proud of it. :P ) was [size=78%]trashing the caps after they lost the first two games to Columbus the year they won the cup and said it wasn't over. I flew to Vegas for game 5 to see the boys hoist the cup and that being said I was also there when we got shut out 2-0 in Washington to Pittsburgh the year before and sat in disgust listening to the "fans" in the stand trash our team instead of supporting them. I've came to expect that from "our fans" at this point to be honest though. Let me know when any of you have travelled around this [/size]continent[size=78%] and have seen the boys play in 18 different venues throughout the league. I doubt any of you can say you have and I'd bet on that one. No one had a response for me sticking up for my country and saying facts about this world other than to say you don't give a fuck because that's really the only response that's reasonable when I call you out and there really isn't much to say to defend the truth. so on that note, take your cleak like atmosphere and stick it if I'm not allowed to defend someone trashing my country irrationally. It's ok for the majority of you to say whatever the fuck you want but heaven forbid I go against the grain and be called ignorant because of it.[/size]

this post is not filled with facts, it is filled with the exact bullshit that lets everyone else know you are a liberal that believes everything that cnn and msnbc has fed you. in this country, cnn has been known as the communist news network damn near from day one in 1980

let's look at the list...
Americans, primarily servicemen, were advised to not tell people they are American when traveling in Europe because of the La Belle targeted bombing. That advisory died years ago. It's got nothing to do with "being looked down upon", in fact, if you'd actually have been to Europe you'd know quite a few places to this day roll out the red carpet for Americans because of what we did over 70 years ago.
This country did not get involved in WWII right away with actual military personnel because we didn't want to get involved in yet one more of europes many wars. But maybe you could explain what the lend lease program was. That is also why we didn't get involved in WWI right away. Maybe you can also tell everyone how Canada could NOT be involved in the world wars from day one when you were direct sovereigns of the crown of England. What is the year of your faux independence? I keep forgetting. The British empire didn't break up until after WWII. That is why the international business world speaks English, not because of American hubris.
Since WWII, the U.S. has been quite often been admired and scorned ar the same time by the same people, we are somehow expected the be the policemen/first responders of the world then admonished by liberals(which today means socialists) for "consently interfering with other governments". We were very isolationist between the wars. Before WWI there is NO ONE alive today that had any influence in domestic or foriegn affairs to blame for the way the world acted over 100 years ago, which begs the question, why do liberals insist on applying today's standards to events that happened 75, 175 and 425 years ago?
What the fuck does the war of 1812(it wasn't a battle) have to do with anything??? True, we do have issues with the public education system. But they can ALL be directly traced to liberals and common core, and if we're honest, it looks like your education that is severely lacking.
You've quite obviously never met anyone in our all volunteer military. Our military has never "gone to poverty cities" to recruit. That is a libshit hollywood myth that came out of the Vietnam war. In fact, one must be highly educated, and very capable of learning to be in today's(since 1980ish) military. Low IQ democrats couldn't handle it. Which brings up another point, every single "poverty city" in this country has been run almost exclusively by democrats for the last 50 plus years. These just happen to be the same "poverty cities" where "systemic racism" has "cops targeting blacks". Odd how cops have the most interaction with the group that commits the most crime in those locations. Also odd how all this systemic racism happens in democrat run cities.
You may be able to claim you've been to more cities than me to attend games, but I garundamntee you I've traveled this country far more than you have. There isn't a U.S. city I haven't been to on the eastern seaboard, and not just to fly in for one day and a game, but to spend my vacations in. Those travels extend all the way to the Mississippi and up the front range. Though there are quite a few I refuse to go to today, and oddly enough, they are very poorly run by democrats.
yea, you definitely get all of your news about the states from cnn, without a doubt. Now, if you'd care to actually learn why you are wrong about trump you are invited to discus it on the other side since this side is supposed to be hockey discussion.

A fucking Joke? You think our country is a "fucking joke"? Really?
Okay, I was being a wise ass. Um...yes...I know what Faux means. And I implied French because of the FRENCH influence in much of Canada, since it was first claimed by the French by Jacques Cartier (a French explorer) in the 1500's. He actually gave Canada it's moniker (sort of by mistake) but shit happens. (Even though the Brits actually started colonies there first.)
My apologies. I will call you Brit then (no offense Lil) since you were surely born before 1982, and hence a servant of the crown of England. Proud Canadian? because of it's vast history since 1982?
Since you are NOT French, and a proud Canadian, do you bow to the Queen since Canada is still part of the British Commonwealth? Wait, you became self governing in 1867 but didn't become an independent country until 1982? 1982? Now that's a fucking joke! SO...did the queen tell your poor Canadian bastards to go to all those wars back before you were your own real country? Since you gained your real independence in 1982, what wars are you so fucking proud of? I mean, MY country did not gain it's independence until 1776, so we can't/don't claim any great kudos for wars won prior to then from our colonists' and ancestors' participation in wars fought and won prior to us being a country.
And I'm sure you know more about Canada than I, considering you are Canadian, but I don't lump "all Canadians" in the same boat as you have done with us. That's very ignorant, as are many of the stereotypes you mentioned in your post.
I don't assume you watch only Hockey, and eat only Poutine, butter tarts and back bacon...with some maple syrup on the side.
And what exactly is your complaint about the United States entering either WW1 or WW2? Um....did you NOT want to win those wars? Which your country (England at the time) certainly would not have won had the United States not joined them. That's not my egotistical self centeredness talking, that's based on the history of the war, and I'm not claiming we (The United States of America) were the REASON the wars were won, but only one of many contributing nations. Hmmm....which nation do you think had a bigger impact on winning WW2...The U.S. or Canada? Oh wait....you were just a colony of the British empire. Let's try again. Okay, so I will admit that one of the Colonies of the British empire, named Canada (by a French explorer) had a bigger impact on WW2 than one of the Territories of the U.S. named Puerto Rico
I am happy that you have visited so many American cities, but why did you choose so poorly with so many Armpit ones? I mean LA, Chicago, NY, Detroit, Pittsburgh, Columbus, New Jersey (that's a state by the way) I don't even want to visit some (most) of those and that is based on actually visiting them already, not what I heard about them. I've been to all except Chicago, and I have no desire to go there. What criteria did you use to plan these trips? "Give me the ugliest most corrupt cities I can find...That's where I want to go!"?
Try some smaller American cities in other geographical areas to get some appreciation of the diversity of Americans and the vast beauty and diversity of America itself. Try going somewhere other than a big city. I personally don't like ANY big city I've ever been to anywhere on the planet. New England is beautiful, as is the Southwest, but they are almost unfathomable in how different the people and the landscapes are. There are beautiful places in the West, along the Eastern seaboard, down south and all throughout this country. You would (should) be amazed at the diversity you'd find here (if you bothered to open your eyes) and judge for yourself.
That's like me saying I hate Canadians because I went to Montreal and the people were rude (which they were). But I am sure that was my fault because I am an American. Although I was treated quite nicely in Nova Scotia, BC, Winnipeg and Calgary. I don't judge all Canadians based on my limited visits to a few of the cities....especially the armpit of Montreal. (and my apologies if you are from Montreal), but my country has Armpits too (which apparently you prefer)
I am not the world traveler that I would like to be, but I have been to countries in Africa, Central and South America, and the Middle East, and felt quite welcomed and well treated in all of them, despite some of them being very unhealthy places for residents and visitors alike. I did not judge these people or places based on the misconceived stereotypes I had "heard" nor did they of me.
Our country has its share of small minded ignorant people, but we are not all that way, nor is Canada I suspect.
I understand your anger from the comments in DC's 1st post, but your post was directed at our country and all it's people as a whole and how it is perceived and judged by the whole world. That's some mighty big shoes your wearing there. All that thin air up there in Canada must be allowing your head to swell if you think you know what the whole world thinks or even the whole of Canada.
"the fucking joke" part was insulting....the rest of it I could let go, but my soapbox was dusty so once I pull it out and dust it off, I might as well use it. ;D
-
just to point out, the sports fans in the NYC-Pilly-northern NJ region are arrogant assholes. Not unlike the people in Montreal that refuse to speak English. But to extrapolate that to how the rest of the country acts, well, it's no wonder you are treated the way you are when "traveling" the states

8-0
STOP!
ALL of you.
Just stop.

If you want to debate politics, that's' on the other part of the forum.This is the hockey part. The part where we're all part of the same team. We're all supporting our team and each other.We're all Caps fans.

this would eliminate fighting in the under 18 leagues..

I get it, but I still question....WILL this reduce the number of concussions? I mean that is their premise correct? They want to remove fighting to reduce head injuries.
How many of today's concussions are caused by a fight? I mean maybe yes, if a guy gets hit or loses his balance and then bounces his head on the ice (ala Tom Wilson)
I believe MOST concussions are caused by hits, not punches. Will taking the fighting out of the game reduce those type of hits that are causing the concussions?

the Canadians are talking about the under 18 leagues, which I'm honestly surprised fighting is currently permitted in. But yea, just going off of recent memory, I'd say a vast majority of concussions come from bad hits and boarding.
