tcan we just cut the crap and acknowledge what we're really talking about, which is that *maybe, just maybe* pierre page was yelling at sundin and the rest of his line not because they were european players but because that line was getting ventilated by the habs?
look at the game 4 and 5 box scores and it's clear who was on the ice when the habs were scoring in those one-goal games.
I as said think my wording may have been bad. My meaning of that you quoted was not to push Page (or the others...) as anti-european, but that his yelling at Sundin/Rucinsky got the anti-european crowd going. Because Sundin was, to me, unfairly singled out thoose PO:s. What he did awfully wrong as I see it is yelling at the bench on two 21 year old great prospects who are in their first PO:s. That will loose u the team in most cases. Take that behind closed doors, if needed. Or yell at the veterans that don´t get the team together. Even if I think yelling at a team is a card that´s only good if u only use it a few times a season at most.
And apologize for getting defensive as hell, but it hurts when suggested judging people on nationality.
