Doan yells at fans behind him in the box

[Michel Beauchamp]

A bunch of drunk yahoos probably saying all sorts of obscene crap. I'm not going to play the "stay classy" card on a player without knowing the full story.

I really like you, but shouldn't we give the same benefit of the doubt to the fans?

Maybe Doan simply rose from the wrong side of the bed that morning...

 

[Michel Beauchamp]

It was the PQ that had a problem with it after the french ref incident circa 10 years ago.... he had allegedly called a ref a "****ing frenchie", but he denied it (others saying it was Martin Hanzal that acutally said it).

If I remember correctly, the now mayor of Montreal, Denis Coderre, kept going after him about the incident and they eventually settled on something.


as for this video.... who the hell cares.

Always blame the PQ, even if they have never been in the Parliament and even if Coderre was a Federal Liberal minister...

So...what's the issue?

Doan is a loser meathead who cries all the time and is the kind of player who yells at the fans? I guess if every player did it there would be no big deal but they rarely do so it does make Doan stand out. Really not much more then he already does but it does stand out a little bit more. Add to the "legend".

Meh pretty tame. I still don't want that guy on my team because, at least on the ice, he seems like a giant ******* (and on the ice is what matters). I don't care if he is the nicest person in the damn world outside of hockey, the guy comes across as a crybaby when games aren't going his way. No thanks.

As much as I dislike him, this is nothing.

He's the worst leader in the nhl

Yeah man.

Here's a look at 10 of the NHL's all-time best in providing the leadership that got the most out of their teammates:

10. Shane Doan

Absolutely the worst.

I don't see how posting his past accomplishments as having anything to do with his ridiculously childish and totally pathetic behavior on the ice over the past 4 years. He has become an embarrassment to his team and the game imo since the 12 playoffs. He is a crybaby who now even yells at the fans along with the refs. I am sorry but who he used to be is a far cry from who he is today. I don't think what he did in yelling at the fans was anything to bad in itself but taken as part of a larger picture shows you a player who has become a joke more than anything else. The Coyotes deserve allot better.

Personally, it was devastating to me to see Doan yap at fans from another team while in the penalty box.

I hope I can recover to once again be a fan of hockey some day in the future.

Why bother? You seem really broken up and there isn't much pro hockey around where you live anyways. I hear there is a great basketball team near you. You should give them a try. Less chance of getting so upset.

 

[McPuritania]

I'm glad people are finally realizing that Doan is a dink.

 

[illpucks]

How does this have anything to do with being classy. Having people yelling at you that you are a steaming pile of **** 24/7 is not pleasant and sooner or later the player is going to lose it.

Here is the former DoPS head

 

[ClassLessCoyote]

Shane Doan seems to have quite a few bad days at work these days. Slew footing unsuspecting opponents, crosschecking them, intentional elbows to the opponent's head, crying to the officials on a regular basis.

Like an earlier post said, he is pretty much just a sore loser.

Do you by any chance know what Shane Doan has gone though as a player in his career?

Do you honestly think that should be a factor in his embarrassing behavior on the ice? Lots of guys go through a significant amount of hell to play the game and don't act out like Doan does. His off ice challenges are well noted but that doesn't mean anything as to how he acts on the ice.

Then I guess it shouldn't matter that he has come out in defense of hockey in Arizona on more than 1 occasion along with the fact that he has defended the Coyotes Fans from garbage attacks by those who want to see the team relocated.

Such a bad person.

His acts(regardless if excusable or not) are the result of what other players would do if they went through what he went through in their own careers and that includes going through a relocation and the threat of relocation on 2 other occasions.

You tell me another player in the history of hockey that has been though what Doan been though.

That's it? That is the best you have to defend the reason Doan shows increasingly poorer decisions during his play? I mean based on your opinion then Doan should simply quite playing and get a front office job with the team? The guy has shown on several occasions that he is an embarrassment at times and while that may only be when he is on the ice he is wearing the sweater of an Arizona player and as their capt it does reflect on the rest of the team. So he cheeleads for the Coyotes off the ice, that is great but it doesn't cancel out who he has become on the ice on many nights throughout each season.

Baloney.

Several other players have gone through as much and more than Doan (players have had children killed spoused die been broken and more and don't pull some of the garbage that Doan does).

Now on page 4 of arguing about absolutely nothing.

We are not.

We aren't arguing at all.

Nope.

Also I defend Doan from those who display their irony with regards to "dirty" players.

As I said before, while some exceptions do apply, lots of fans don't like a player who is dirty, reckless, etc, except when they're playing on the team he/she is a fan of.

Look at for example Raffi Torres as he was hated highly by the Sharks Fans before the trade in 2013 but now those same people who hated him in the past like him on the Sharks now.

 

[LeighDx59]

As a Wings fan I thought it was hilarious he was giving back to the fans. He's still a sore loser most of the time, especially against Detroit, but this is hardly anything to make a big deal out of.

I'm fairly sure I made my point clear. He can be the nicest person in the world off of the ice, but what matters is how he conducts himself on the ice. We already have a couple of guys with checkered pasts. We don't need another. I believe it is quite clear that Doan has given himself a bad name when we have a thread full of folks flipping out over nothing.

btw my favorite episode of Mantracker was the one with Doan. I'd probably hang out with the guy if we could keep the discussion away from religion (a Southern rule is all polite conversation should stay away from religion and politics), but as a hockey player I don't like him at all.

I don't see Doan as being dirty at all. Maybe he has had his moments but lots of intense players do. I am calling him out for being an absolute embarrassment to his team and the game in general since 2012 playoffs.

Nothing wrong with that and I also met shane doan once, Super chill guy

I hung out with Tiger Williams and Pat Verbeek one night in TO and they were both absolutely great guys but that has nothing to do with who they were on the ice and neither does Doan being super chill imo.
