The death of "sense of humor" has been greatly under-reported.

this is hockey tho. emotion and fun are frowned upon.

Personally, I liked the Bye Felicia gif better as Hawks fans made their way to the exits.

The best part of this was when the Hawks fans realized they were on camera, and turned around and waved. "Bye! I'm getting the hell out of here!" Awesome, good-natured fun.

See this is proper reaction.

It's ridiculous that they can't even handle light-hearted banter. The jumbo-tron operator's job is to put up stuff for the fans to enjoy. The twitter-man's job is to do the same, in a social media-y way (which posting a popular meme is). The only problem is if it is offensive or inappropriate, of which any of that was neither.

What's even the point of watching sports if you can't handle the lightest of banter? I love the back and forth. It seems like for those people sports is only enjoyable if your team wins every game and every person is a fan of your team.

Plus this game is important to the Canes in terms of getting people to the arena. I don't care that 'it's not like you won the SCF or anything.' People enjoy when team accounts go a little off-script and poke fun. And calling attention to a game where the Canes dominated a current NHL powerhouse at home is the kinda thing that will maybe get people back in those seats.

I could be wrong, but I suspect the vast majority of fans can handle light-hearted fun. The ones that handle it just don't say anything about it, for the most part so you never hear from them. It's only the ones that can't handle it that go out and complain about it.

So, can you post a photoshop of Wysh with a crying Jordan head in the comments section? That would seem to be the most appropriate response to this article.

I would like to think you are correct. I suppose that the clarification should be that it is directed towards those that can't lol.

Damn, that would be awesome. CI could tweet it to him.

i think its a matter of wyshs hating it

he worships the dallas stars media people, as does everyone else

but as soon as the canes do it its too far, even though its just a super popular meme



sure, maybe jordan wont be an investor any time soon, but otherwise its completely harmless

Lunch break fun. What do you think?

People are getting way too serious these days. They need to learn to chill and oh I don't know, have fun. Last I checked hockey was a sport, sport is entertainment, entertainment is supposed to be fun. This was all in good fun. I don't see the backlash it has gotten. The Dallas org has poked fun at visiting teams fans and I don't see the backlash there.

It's like the stupid people whining and crying that Cam Newton dabs and celebrates his touchdowns. What is he supposed to? Next thing people will be crying that hockey players are celebrating their goals. And I doubly love the ones complaining that he gives footballs to little kids. Guess what, he just made that kids day and has made that kid a fan for life. Nothing wrong with that.

People need to quit being so butt hurt over stupid stuff. Too bad I don't see these people getting upset over our veterans being homeless, starvingkids, or Trump trying to run for office. These are things to get upset over, not a harmless meme at a game.

Perfect, now someone tweet that to him and @NHLCanes. I would flip my **** if the Canes retweeted it.
