Friedman speculating both teams will likely get a warning is already a stretch. Then they change the headline to make it sound like the NHL has actually done this already??
garbage account.
Somebody was cold-decking you. Or there was an Eddie in the space-time continuum. Not sure which.
People need to learn how to check the veracity of the information they consume today.
Being on a website or in a meme doesn't mean it's a fact.

I acknowledged that I misheard the quote, and linked to the part where it's mentioned, in my last post... but yes, trash account suckering Wings and Canucks fans into clicking it. It's possible they were warned to not engage in anything too controversial, but not likely the trash accounts of Twitter would know it.
That'd have been a really neat trick if they had been... but since no money changed hands, and we all took turns shuffling, it's hard to imagine that happened.
I like to think of it as the last of my luck being spent.

Sorry. To be clear my post wasn't intended as a criticism of you at all. I was adding to what you had stated and agree it's desperate clickbait.

Trust me, we're on the same wavelength. I didn't interpret it as a slight, just thought maybe you missed the clarification is all

oh man it's a beautiful dream but I fear those days are gone for good.
It's amazing how people will regurgitate something as fact but even when pointed out to them can't grasp the claim isn't actually substantiated. Because they agree with it so accept it as fact.

Should start with entertainment programming not being allowed to call themselves news. Especially when their lawyers go to court repeatedly and claim that no reasonable person should consider them as presenting anything other than opinions rather than reporting on facts.

Even dismissing the source, I absolutely hope that the Wings score early and often, with plenty of celebrations. The censoring / overreacting to this stuff is getting downright ridiculous.
Walman didn't come up with a brand new celebration just to taunt Vancouver. He's done the Griddy many times. It's not an obscene gesture or overly elaborate or getting right in the opponent's face or involving several players or props or any of the other dumb reasons people have used in the past to try to stop guys having fun after they score.
Creative (good natured) celebration should be ENCOURAGED. It's absolutely something that the younger demographic tends to enjoy, so be smart and let your players express themselves (while helping ratings).
Dance it up!!!

I absolutely agree, but I also understand the concern. With Vancouver being referred to as "soft", by various fans and maybe some in the media, for not responding aggressively to an innocuous goal celebration... plus the Reilly incident, that if it were to happen tonight, perhaps they would choose to take vengeance tonight instead to dispell such idiotic notions?
But I'm of the mind that the league probably hasn't done anything of the sort, at least insofar as the Wings are concerned. Goal celebrations aren't against the rules. If Hughes celebrates a goal with a little dance of his own, I couldn't care less. I honestly think we need more expressions of personality in the league, not less.
As the league, if you want to attract a younger audience to the sport, bring in more players who actually know how to connect with said younger audience. Walman is clearly one of those players, and I'm damn happy to have him on our team.
You can't put anything on the Internet that isn't true. At least that's what my wife Scarlett Johansson says.

What a bunch of something over nothing. The poll in that article asking if the griddy should be banned is laughable. You play a game for a living. What’s the big deal if someone celebrates winning the game?

It was Ash Wednesday yesterday no? I think you missed an optimal time for a smoked whiskey cocktail. Close enough right?

It can *always* get worse!
Seriously though, I'm sure I still have a little luck in here somewhere. It's just being shy... right? Right??

Your timing is perfect. My wife got me a cocktail smoker kit for Valentine's Day.
I am making some healthier choices for Lent. But giving up bourbon is definitely not one of them.
I think we have a couple of Selma Hayek's husbands on this board as well. Crazy small world.

It's all about balance. Cut the chips, keep the booze, makes perfect sense to me

We should call up Brock Lesnar for this game.
I heard he may be a free agent.

Even on the west coast the wait is nigh intolerable. I'll be second intermission drunk before the game starts
