Laine just got crushed by McCabe [mod warning in OP]

[Lepardi]

Should probably add the sarcasm emoji. Some might not understand that it's sarcasm...at least I hope it is.

I can't understand how it's sarcasm. Cause if it's sarcasm, he's saying that McCabe's hit was as OK as dropping a baby on its head. I don't think it's OK to drop a baby and thus damage its brain. I think a person who drops a baby on its head should take a long, hard look at what he/she did wrong. If you think there was nothing wrong with McCabe's hit, it's a really weak analogy to compare it to dropping a baby. Unless ofcourse you think there's nothing wrong with dropping a baby.

I doubt they were cheering Laine

I guess you speak for many. I speak for myself.

I think anyone cheering injuries is classless. If it happened in Winnipeg my stance would he the same as it in this situation. It's called standing by your convictions.

again, as a whole the crowd wasn't cheering an injury here. Maybe a few jerks, but the vast majority gets quiet as soon as the scrum ends and Laine is still down.



That video shows a crowd cheering a hit, cheering a scrum, then getting quiet for an injured player. Then they cheer again when he gets up and skates off.

He was down the whole time. Fans prioritizing...I guess.

fans watching the action, not him. Put that same series of events if any arena in the league and that's how it plays out with the crowd.

This still would have happened everywhere. Every fanbase has these people. Not sure why many posters in here have this holier-than-thou attitude as if it is exclusive to fanbases other than their own.

Yeah they were cheering the hit followed by the scrum. Laine was an afterthought.

Big hits happen. Fans cheer. You get the odd classless person (some posts in this thread are an example) but 99 percent of the time the cheering stops when you realize the player is injured. Your first thought as a fan Is Ohhhhhhhh shiiii he killed him.. woo yeah great hit. .. uh oh he's still down... maybe I shouldn't cheer anymore . It takes a moment to recognize the player is hurt

Maybe he can answer that for you. I was just trying to give him the benefit of the doubt.

That hit was a thing of beauty.
