Back to Sports Media....

I'm kind of surprised Rob Wong doesn't get a more significant role on Fan590. I know he does Sportsnet Today on weekends sometimes but I think he's pretty good on radio.

Something tells me she’s far more sane and trained to commit a crime like that. Like most people she’s aware of the stand your ground self-defence law and wouldn't open fire.

At the same time I don’t think Matthews and his crew are going to walk around breaking into just anyone’s car at unknown or unsafe locations.

Not sure that's a very safe assumption.

Right now, this week, is the trial of Amber Guyger. She's the Dallas cop that shot and killed an accountant who was home alone in his apartment.

She had somehow mistaken his apartment for hers, and when she saw a strange man in "her" apartment she drew her weapon and fired, killing him. Act first, ask questions later.....

So..... you think a female on her own at 2AM in a state with "concealed carry" laws is no threat to a bunch of strangers trying to open her car doors?

Turns out you were right. Sure could have gone the other way though.

 

[Walshy7]

Given the circumstances that we have been made aware of, I agree that in a worst case scenario he could have been shot.
1) female alone in car at 2am
2) works a security job so maybe is provided a firearm by company or keeps a personal one with her for protection
3) these guys try to open her car door

Can understand that if she was armed that she might have been scared, grabbed the gun and opened fire.

isn't she also an army vet with PTSD?, im sure I read she was unless someone just made that up somewhere. very very easily could have been shot

Hockey @11Central at Noon is about to kickoff for the season.

I don’t know her at all, but she doesn’t sound like a criminal to me.

oh sorry I didn't realize that was the conversation, I agree she doesn't sound like a criminal. I thought the conversation was people armed with guns can sometimes get spooked into shooting them hence why regular folk shouldn't have guns, especially if they have a mental condition based on a time when they were in the army.

That would be a crime.

 

[Walshy7]

That would be a crime.

ok? doesn't mean she is a criminal right now does it, she didn't shoot him. But it would be very conceivable a person could shoot someone out of being scared shitless. If you hit and kill someone with your car its a crime yet are you a criminal before that accident?

Button trying to explain the LTIR rules was hilariously botched

He and Miller love spouting off about CBA type stuff all the time and more often than not are totally wrong. Its quite embarrassing how they keep trying to portray themselves as the CBA guys

Anthony Stewart on HC is exactly the same as Kypreos without all the yelling.

Wants a bunch ot knuckle draggers and trashes skill

plugs hoping plugs don't lose their spots in the league. They know they will be completely forgotten very quickly if no one like them exist anymore

Blues Bruins VGK Wash have rosters full of “plugs” . Any idea what they have in common?

What plugs do the bruins have?

The bruins PP and the talent on their 3rd and 4th lines was the difference in the series last spring.

please show your working out here. Show me plugs as big as Anthony stewart on each of those teams. Ryan Reeves is the closest thing to a plug on those teams that played significant games, Tom Wilson is a skilled "tough guy"

Button keeps trying to push the narrative that Kerfoot is the only piece in that Kadri trade.

He never once mentions the main piece, Barrie.

What plugs does Vegas, Stl, and Wash have?

Hockey Central was awful today.

Starting the year off by Marek and Friedman congratulating themselves for being the main voices/opinions of Sportsnet/CBC hockey. Are they knowledgeable and connected? Sure. Are they entertaining? Not at all.

Exactly. Sorry Button, but the leafs are going for it this season.

 

[X66]

I wish people would call out Button more when he makes stupid claims.

Like the other day he was saying "If the Habs beat the Leafs in two games last year, they're the team with 100 points and not the Leafs, that's how close Toronto came to missing".

You can say that for a lot of teams lol. If the Leafs beat the Bruins in the games that they lost, the Leafs finish 2nd in the division and have home ice. Why doesn't Button see that? lol

As the immortal Bill Watters used to say to helium high pitched voice Greg Brady when Greg was inundating Bill with "but's" and "if's".........."If ifs and buts were candies and nuts, we'd all have a Merry Christmas".

What you're saying is true but it doesn't make what he said dumb because it is true. I think the point he was making imo was that you can't treat games within your division lightly because 1 game can make or break your season.

And the regular season will continue to be unwatchable.
