My post in the GDT on this last night

When you try to kill someone from behind and miss...

When you bold only part of someones sentence to push your own point....

Yea the rest of it really paints a different picture...

 

[KrejciMVP]

it was no Chara on Patches attempt but maybe worth a look from the Boston DA

My gosh- This NESN logo with the backwards S and E is throwing my eyeballs in a loop

What is your point?

 

[Gonzothe7thDman]

What is your point?

You don't know what it means when someone rolls their eyes at something absurd?

 

[Donnie Shulzhoffer]

Yes I do. I am questioning why you find it absurd.

You think Polak was trying to reach out and stop Wagner from going face first into the boards?

 

[Tmac37]

Polak going for a dirty hit and got burned.

 

[KrejciMVP]

Yes I do. I am questioning why you find it absurd.

you said he attempted to kill Wagner, an eye roll doesn't seem to be that big of a pushback over your slight overreaction

Do you need the phrase "figure of speech" explained to you.

Yes, I thought Polak was literally trying to "kill" him.

just saying the roll isnt something to get upset about and then pulling the agenda card

There is a Mariana Trench-level gap between "Trying to kill someone from behind" and "trying to reach out and stop him from hitting the boards."

The fact that you immediately jump to trying to paint my stance as the comedic opposite end is pathetic, telling, and about as absurd as your first take on the subject.

The board deserves better.

Meanwhile you provided nothing on the subject of this thread.

The board deserves better.

Christ...

Didn't realize pointing absurdity to a figure of speech was upset. Trust me, this is miles from upset.

I hope Polak is ok but I don’t think Jack was wrong in what he said and he obviously stopped right away once he saw how serious it was.

Polak is constantly trying to make hits like this and misjudged the situation, hesitated and fell. I don’t think he realized Wags is a bit faster than he though and that he was able to get out of the way.

The manufactured outrage on Twitter is predictable and eye rolling

Twitter is literally the source of all evil in today’s society.

A few weeks back Howard Stern hit the nail on the head, said something to the effect that 'social media gives too much power to idiots'.

 

[GloryDaze4877]

looked like it would have been a nothing play if the Bruin player didnt trip and lose his balance. Dangerous game at high speed

Going to disagree with you a bit (about it being a nothing play).

It could have been a bad play the other way if Wags hadn’t spun off the short crosscheck from Polak on a player with his numbers to him about 5 feet front the boards.

I’m not a fan of Edwards, but he and Brick weren’t wrong, and neither of them knew Polak was hurt that badly at the time they said it. Zero problem with what Brick said, Jack probably could have worded it a little better, but it’s Jack.

Yesterday I disabled my twitter

I went to read Gammons on Mookie Betts and it was all his dislike for a non sports related individual

Twitter is a viscous place at times and an eye opener to me - Lou warned me

100 % agree

The uproar is a bunch of sensitive candy asses - 80% with agendas

Polak lives by the dirty hit and he got hurt by it

As simple as that

Just don't use a figure of speech like I did. I am currently getting my board status reviewed because of it.

I probably already do

My phone was charging in another room so I wasn’t on HF, had disabled my Twitter yesterday so wasn’t on that - otherwise I probably post or tweet

My immediate reaction was ‘that’s what you get you f***ing prick’

However, I didn’t realize the severity

Infractions are coming.

I think it was 2 players going hard into the boards playing the the puck if they both stayed on their trajectories it wouldn't have resulted in much. I think if you slow it down you'll see the last second turn by Wagner put both players off balance. I don't think he was trying to injure Wagner, just an accident IMO.

cmon, you call out everyone, one simple eye roll you can't take?
