Player Discussion Jamie Benn - 2014-2015 Art Ross Trophy Winner

[beepeearr]

You grasshoppers don't even KNOW how awesome Saturday comics were, once upon a time.

They're garbage now, mostly. But Calvin and Hobbes was something else, let me tell ya.

You mean Sunday comics right those were the longer ones every week, Saturday Cartoons and Sunday Comics

 

[NukeJukes43]

So who thinks big man is injured? The first 9 seconds of the hockey game we saw old Jamie Benn. Wheres the killer instinct? We've seen him single handedly dismantle a defense and then some.

There has to be something wrong. Mentally or physically.

Well he was questionable for a game last week with an issue that's been bothering him the whole season and then he miraculously recovered to play that game and the games since then so yeah I think it's a fair bet that he's injured

Up here, the paper my parents subscribed to had a Comics section on Saturday.

It still does.

 

[Stars99Lobo37]

He looked good against the Hawks, and had a solid first against the Bruins, but he reverted right back to Jamie in the final 2 periods and capped it off with basically giving up after the Bs went up 2.

He's definitely injured in some sort of fashion but still disappointing to see.

 

[ElGuapo]

See growing up a beanie was one of those hats with a propeller on top

Yeah. I resisted the term beanie for a long time maybe that's why. Random, but I also hate the word dinner for some reason. Just don't like saying it. I say supper, which I believe makes me a hick.

That's about as southern as you can get.

 

[Satan]

I always called it supper and I grew up in Labrador but wouldn't associate my family with being hick

 

[glovesave_35]

Supper sounds funny to me in the same way pop does. A bunch of my family says both but neither come natural to me anymore.

You're one of those "soda" people, eh?

 

[ElGuapo]

Growing up in Texas everyone called soda/pop Coke. So if you were at a restaurant ordering you would say "Coke" then the server would ask "what kind?" "Dr. Pepper." Coke meant Coke and also soda in general. It seems like that doesn't happen as much anymore. I call it soda now. My cousin married an Okie and she says pop. First time she was around us and said it I don't think everyone even knew what she meant by pop. Don't know I've ever heard a native Texan say pop, but just over the river they do.

 

[Dr Pepper]

Ah, yeah I've heard of that being common in some areas.....I don't get it though.

It's like calling all burgers Big Macs.

"What kind?"

"A Whopper."

 

[ElGuapo]

"Hockey"

"What kind?"

"badminton"

Hmm makes perfect sense!

Congratulations Modo, you have now terribly derailed everything twice.

Definitely grew up on the "coke as all encompassing soft drink term" tip but call it soda now. Similar to kleenex/xerox/frisbee

 

[Rune Forumwalker]

I'd say it would be more southern say dinner/supper for lunch as well as in the evening.

 

[KiedisA]

Has been on a mission these games after the All-Star break.. Amazing skill that lead to the Daley goal(vs.TBL). Hopefully this is just a start for the captain, we need him to lead the line every night..

 

[aloonda*]

I like it when he is pissed.

 

[Burr08]

I have to say Benn was one of my favourite players in the league until this morning. After hearing his and seguins comments on the radio regarding the sedins I was absolutely disgusted. With how big the " you can play" campaign is in the NHL I can't see it going unnoticed.

 

[glovesave_35]

What did he say?

Please show us the homophobic statement with which you can coincide with your "you can play" comment. And please do not quote him saying how they probably do other things together, because that's you playing off of assumption.

 

[dechire]

What did he say?

"Jordie's 27." (When asked if he and Jordie room together since young players have roommates)
"Who knows what else they do together ?" (In response to a comment about the Sedins possibly rooming together)
"I don't know. So I can't say." (In response to being asked whether or not the Sedins are weird)

Those are literally the only things he said during that segment.

I'd like to hear the audio itself if someone has a link.
