Elias Lindholm trolls and mocks Carolina Hurricanes

[Jugitsu]

Lindholm might just be my new hero. I thought that was absolutely hilarious. Serves them right for booing him with no apparent reason.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

What a classless *******. No wonder they traded him away.

To break out and be a fantastic player on a rising team?

What a bad situation to be in.

 

[Woodtkachuk]

I mean there are two types of hockey players in situations where they were low balled, traded, get booed by the fan base they played for and see their jersey get chucked into the mesh.

You're either the type that smiles and takes it or you do the carolina clap and give it right back. Hilarious, love the guy and his gigantic smile.

seems like a weird guy

Weird how?

Canes have been without the playoffs for 9 years, why haven't they blown up their roster & Tanked for 1st overall picks ? If i was a owner of a team thats been without the playoffs for 9 years i'd be really pissed they have no #1st overall picks during that time.

So why don't their fans boo the ownership & GM instead ? Booing former players cause ur GM lost a trade is just pointless.

You know, you don't have to blow it up and tank to improve your team. You can do it through good trading, good drafting, managing your assets properly. Just look at Edmonton for an example of why not to tank.

 

[Paper]

Yeah, the Flames were apparently able to turn their fortunes around not through tanking. Just need to find a team stupid enough to trade two great players for a song.

 

[Rangers ftw]

100% awesome

 

[tny760]

petty as f*** and also hilarious

my favorite kind of petty

 

[Makar Goes Fast]

this is awesome

 

[Huck Cheever]

With the circus celebrations that Carolina does at the end of their games....i approve

 

[DudeWhereIsMakar]

I mean the problem was Carolina misused him and soured his experience nearly sending his career down in the crapper. Calgary managed to salvage it so I don't see why not in his case. But I did think it was funny.

Evander Kane for us is a whole other story.

 

[The Panther]

Good for Lindholm. Okay, it's not exactly classy, but he's not hurting anyone, and the Hurricanes' celebration thingie is an embarrassment to hockey.

 

[Crazy Cizikas]

I couldn’t help but notice that none of his teammates gave a flying funk about his celebration.

Monahan and Tkachuk were both 6th overall picks, that's not exactly nothing. If you want to be extremely literal with the definition of tanking, teams very rarely ever actually tank. Teams usually just end up bad and selling. Only year I can ever remember teams proactively tanking for was the McDavid year and even then it's not as if teams just gave up from game one. Tanking also provided the backbone for Pittsburgh to win 3 Cups and, in a less literal and less strict use, made Toronto what they are today.

Maybe you missed his goaltender doing it also...?

What? Neal was laughing his ass off. Rittich joined in. They loved it.

Goalie give one clap. The rest of the team doesn’t.

 

[bleedgreen]

The canes had Skinner at 7, Lindy at 5, Hanifin at 5, Fleury at 7. Svechnikov at 2.

They’ve had their fair share of high picks. If you don’t develop them right and then trade them away it doesn’t matter whether you tank or not.

 

[Crazy Cizikas]

Neal was laughing his ass off over his contract. Rittixh looked like he just wanted to be part of something.

 

[Thread The Needle]

I appreciate the hell out of this.

 

[Crazy Cizikas]

It’s a lame attempt at mockery. Had no originality or support. If anything, it was more cringeworthy than Carolina’s celebrations.

 

[CanadienShark]

Well he's a bad sport.

 

[Ronnie Residue]

Hilarious, gained a lot of new fans with that one I’m sure.
