Lol, Panthers colour commentator calling Daniel Sedin a low life. Now blaming Sedin for the entire line brawl. After whining for 5 minutes that Derek Dorsett caused the entire brawl. Get it together, how hilarious/unprofessional
That's pretty ironic since Potvin's now-ex-wife has claimed he is a drug addict and alcoholic and has beaten her.

I mean, I don't know what you'd have to do to piss off Jagr at this point in his career. The guy got some of his teeth knocked out by an opposing player recently and he just patted that guy on the back telling him it was no big deal. I highly doubt he even cared.
In any case, why isn't Denis Potvin selling his own Peanut Butter brand by now?? I would imagine it would be the first PB with beer as an ingredient. Alcoholic PB & J, just imagine.

I am toxic
. . . even in small doses
He was in the penalty box when the OT goal was scored, not sure if he was caught over there while everything went down.

So Potvin is guilty even when it wasnt proven.....
Yet people were mad when people said P.Kane was guilty over the summer...
Interesting

Potvin never testified against that claim in court when someone of his image at the time probably should have if it weren't true.

And? He publicly denied the claim, no hearing specifically for the abuse...its divorce court. Mud is slinged always.

If those rumors about it being a comment on Rick Rypien are true then that's just insanely messed up and had zero place in hockey.

Well I mean, all I've heard all thread long from Panther fans is that he was on his 8th beer when he said what he said...
Thornton is a piece of ahi IMO but even he's not dumb enough to use Rypien in his trash talk. Having said that, it had to be more than harmless "I won a cup and you haven't". The Sedins have been hearing that for ages.

yeah. i'm a panthers fan and idk why other panther fans are defending potvin so hard right now. he's a alcoholic geezer, we talk about it all the time over at our board.
i don't get it. take him of the air please, he unbearable to listen to and is apparantly a pos.

And God bless him.
Even if it's true, it's not ironic (sorry for the grammar Nazi/English teacher coming out in me LOL).
Does Potvin have a book coming out as well? His words seem like a cryfor attention, or book sales. the title of his book will be something like...Lowlife and Peanut Butter, words from the disgraced
I'm not a big Potvin fan on a personal level, but honestly he doesn't need to do things like this for notoriety in the hockey world. He's one of the greatest defensemen and overall players in history.

Lol thats fine. He always sounds drunk.
has nothing to do with being an alleged 'wife-beater'
He's a massive homer who should be taken with a grain of salt, but for what it's worth, Canucks radio colour guy Dave Tomlinson is claiming the thing someone on the Panthers said to the Sedins was not a sisters joke or a 2011 reference. He says it was worse. FWIW.

It's pretty obviously the case that it's worse. I mean, there's no reason they'd react in that way and then also discuss it in the press afterwards if it was some immature but ultimately benign thing they've heard before.
Agreed. I can DEFINITELY see him referencing something about 2011 though - with the smirk of a lifetime on his face while saying it and laughing all the way home.
Absolutely agree if true, but I have a hard time believing that a Panthers player would be stupid enough to say something like that, especially when the captain and goalie of the Panthers are both ex-teammates of Rypien.
