Proposal: Would you participate in a protest to Shanny?

[inthewings]

it's not just about this incident. it is about matt cooke.

Anyone who thinks Cooke intentionally cut Karlsson needs to take a break.

 

[Sens Mile]

It's not just "getting hurt". There is a possibility he may never be the same player. There is no guarantee the surgery will be successful as the Achilles does not "heal" like regular tissue. Until I hear otherwise I can only assume the worst.

Still, mental distress is a little too much. Go outside, take a breath, relax a bit

 

[Slow Hands]

I'd much rather see the Sens fanbase come together to wish Erik a full and speedy recovery in a meaningful way than some poorly thought out protest that reflects poorly on our fanbase.

.

Yup.

 

[Senator Stanley]

This is a really, really stupid idea.

 

[a a ron]

It would be pointless, my suggestion is to move on from the incident and get him next time you play them.

 

[Knave]

I play the game regularly myself, and I just can't imagine an NHL caliber player having that much non awareness.

It's funny how people level accusations like 'you've never played hockey' or 'you've never played hockey at a high level'.

Because if you come out of the gate swinging with ignorance and stuff that's flat out wrong, hopefully some of it will stick in the minds of everyone reading it!

[Do Make Say Think]

Outside of previous history there is 0 evidence that what Cooke was intentional

I'm behind the league office, there is unfortunately nothing they can do about this

 

[Golden]

Nope.

Come on, guys, I know we're upset but let's at least try to look sane.

This. Let's all collectively back away from the ledge.

 

[BK201]

No I think that this is a terrible idea.

I'm still sticking by our team too

We are not completely out yet were in a play off spot and we can grind our way into the play offs.

You heard it here first bro's.

 

[CanadianHockey]

Nope.

Come on, guys, I know we're upset but let's at least try to look sane.

Quoted for truth.

 

[Icelevel]

after something like this happens, to see so many of you defending matt cooke and refusing to want to even try to do something about it is pretty embarrassing.

I can't go to NYC to protest a hockey thing, as much as I would like to visit NYC one day. The issue for me remains Shanahan's decision not to have a hearing based on his phone calls with Shero and Murray. Clearly Murray would have wanted one, and by quick process of elimination, we can say for sure that Shero didn't.

I think this incident deserved further scrutiny, at the very least. That's not saying anything about intent, etc., it's just saying a player with a history of intent to injure should have another questionable play looked at by the league. EK, the Sens, their fans, and all the other star players who deserve some kind of protection from serial offenders like Cooke deserved some kind of due process here. There is to be none. This league is a joke.

 

[jeffsens11]

I'm just as upset as you guys are but lets face it, suspending Cooke won't bring Karlsson back as Murray said. We re upset, our favourite player is out, but we need to focus on our Sens and what we can do to stay in the playoff race. This will be a good opportunity for young dmen like Wier to step up and show what they are made of.

I don't that that's obvious at all.

 

[NyQuil]

We saw what happened with Habs fans.

Focus on the guys that are left and on Karlsson's recovery.

 

[Tundraman]

You'd get a better response from a brick than a @rick

 

[hogtownhabsfan*]

Nope.

Come on, guys, I know we're upset but let's at least try to look sane.

So the appearance of sanity for a fanbase over justice?

Interesting.

 

[MainDotC]

It was just a question with a poll. Ya'll don't have to be rude in your responses.

 

[pdoggy]

Nope.

This.

Guys seriously slow our roll none of us are Matt Cooke no one knows if he meant to do it other than him, now that I have had a night to sleep I am thinking quite rationally about this situation. It is extremely unfortunate but I watched BM's presser today and he expects a 100% recovery he also did not pressure Shanny to do anything and has accepted what has happened as an unfortunate incident. I think those who are thinking irrationally need to take a break from watching replays and just relax EK will be back down the road and will return to greatness.

Let's all be happy this happened to a 22 year old and not a 32 year old. Let's just watch the kids play now and give the team our support and show them why we are the best fans in the NHL. Injuries happen life goes on it will be hard without EK but we gotta do what we gotta do. Sorry not trying to jack the thread but I think a protest is quite irrational. We should be protesting wars, famine, education crisis, gun control, SOPA and other internet regulations. Protesting and injury in a sport played with sharp blades on your feet seems quite irrational. Wish Ek the best and all of you suffering mental anguish over this.

 

[McManked]

I read the edited OP, don't care.

I think anyone who thinks it was intentional are just embarrassing our fanbase.

Gotta get up, listen to me, clappa your hands, stompa your feet.

justice? It was an accident.

Amen.

I don't think I've ever seen an OP demand that only those who agree with him should comment on his thread. Glad to see so many sane posters ignoring that demand.
