I mean, minus the whole throwing pieces of metal into the stands part.

Haha yeah which is why my first question was if it hit anyone.

 

[bl02]

Not gonna lie I like the fact that the kid hates to lose. You can't teach that.
Probably not the best thing to do but still its refreshing to see a someone that cares so much about winning and losing coming to New York. #attitude

[GeorgeKaplan]

Hopefully he goes to South Korea in a few months and wins a big gold over there

 

[Rick Nash 61]

Honestly I see more positive than negative here. Lias wants to freaking win.

 

[NYR Viper]

Yeah that’s a ‘I don’t want it because it shows 2nd place’ toss. Not a fastball into the upper deck.

 

[FireGerardGallant]

At least his shoulder is alright

 

[Rick Nash 61]

On another note if we miss the playoffs this year there is a huge silver lining- having a lottery shot at Dahlin. He is a generational talent. And from what we learned in the draft lottery last year anything can happen

 

[ColonialsHockey10]

we do have a player like that actually. Another Swede, maybe you've heard of him.

Don't need your sarcasm after what was generally a positive post.

Hank has a tendency for being a colossal baby. I like what Lias did there overall, but he could have handled it better. The fire is great, but there are different levels of intensity. Hank screaming at his teammates when he lets up a shit goal is just as ridiculous.

Oh my god the replies are wonderful.

Hur dur classless brigade

 

[FireGerardGallant]

I saw someone mention this online and its 100% true, the same people getting mad about what Andersson did (Ferraro) were the same people talking about how important winning gold was for the returning players from last year because of the sting of coming up short

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

All the people hating on Lias are all Canadians who would be praising the player if it was like McDavid or something

"How dare this loser now bow to our win!"

 

[Levitate]

Honestly I don't think that's something you should bash a kid about. Something that was done after an emotional game by a guy who hates to lose, the discussion should be about the passion and dedication these kids have to playing for their country and winning and how that hurts when you come up short, not ragging on him for...what reason?

 

[aufheben]

Aren’t you Canadian?

You know a lot of Canadians that move to New Jersey?

 

[HatTrick Swayze]

Year after year Canada gets serious help from the officials

He shouldn't do that. He's 18 and I'm not going to get mad at him, but I have to disagree with the people praising it.

 

[ColonialsHockey10]

Thank you. The hypocrisy on this board is something to behold.

Lias had a great tournament though. Shame it had to end with that.

No issues with what he did. It's not like he disrespected the opponents.

 

[Steve Kournianos]

Boqvist hasn't gotten time in the SHL, thats not an unimpressive stint. Gotta be given a chance to be unimpressive.

I've watched every single SHL game of his, including the CHL games.

Boqvist has been unimpressive -- overmatched, intimidated, weak and careless. That's why he plays so little. The problem is that he's too way good for the J20 and they needed to give him a taste of the SHL. Where Brynas stands has little to do with it because if he played well in his limited time (like Brannstrom last year with HV71), he'd stick and gain more ice time.

Not everyone values things the same way others do. No point getting mad at them for it...

 

[Machinehead]

No issues with what he did. It's not like he disrespected the opponents.

He didn't necessarily disrespect anyone, but it comes off as childish to toss something you won into the crowd because it wasn't good enough.

I'm not mad at anyone

Who has been hypocritical?
