cry baby european hockey shit (to sum it up)
games in european leagues are not the same like the WC or other IIHF games. bla bla bla
I heard some chants of "keep your head up", or "faker" were thrown out from the large crowd. That's just disgraceful. How much of an asshole do you need to be to yell at a guy who had to be carried out on a stretcher?
you will find such assholes everywhere .... and a few people laugh about it or smile. it's a fucking disgrace.
But wtf is this shit? "Canadian hockey isn't pussy like Euro hockey"? Are your nuts THAT small that you need to brag about people getting carried off on stretchers in your favorite sport? It's called being a huge douche bag, and usually the nationalistic Canadians do that. Not saying the US isn't the proud owner of douche bags (trust meh, we are), but in hockey it really only shows for team Canada.
Man, you have some issues. Everybody has witnessed idiot fans in their lifetime and they aren't just nationalistic Canadians that cheer for Team Canada. In a rink of 20,000 people, I'm sure you'll find a few drunk, excited, emotional or idiotic fans that want to voice their opinions. I've seen it, and sometimes the comments were funny or downright stupid. Just because you had a bad experience, there's no need to bash fans from Canada. While I was at the WJ in Ottawa, I witnessed an American fan (probably loaded) run his mouth off all game at the Canadian fans and eventually he took a swing at the guy next to him. He was carried out of the arena and the whole crowd cheered. After it happened I didn't come on this forum to say "how sooky American fans are" or "how idiotic American fans are" because I knew it was just one person out of millions that was acting like an idiot. Hell, I cheer for an American NHL team and I know how great American fans are so I know the difference. I dunno maybe I'm a minority here but stop bashing Canadian fans because we're not all the same.
As for the hit, I think the only problem was the lateness. There was no elbow, or malicious intent so I'm fine with the suspension that he received. The extra game was definitely because of the lateness or "interference" on the hit.
And lets be realistic here, North American hockey is rougher than the majority of the European leagues. Lets ask Zagrapan.
I went to the Sweden Vs Russia game and I didn't have a problem with the Russian fans (with a Swedish jersey on, I actually spoke nice with them). Or when my cousin went to the USA vs Germany game rooting for Germany he had zero problems. Both good examples.
My brother in law and his friend went to Canada vs Sweden. His friend was (they counted) verbally and almost physically assaulted. He had a Swedish flag and the Canadian ripped it out of his hands and spit on it. So 9 near fights there.
Every time I go to a Buffalo vs (Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal) game there are always ALWAYS ALWAYS many disrespectful, rude, and idiotic fans.
Look at TSN comments. Nuff said for that.
Youtube hockey videos are nothing but "STUPID AMERICANS SUCK AT HOCKEY!"
How about the generalization of the Ottawa, Toronto, and Montreal fans?
How about Canadians spewing that "Euro Trash hockey" shit because the Europeans don't accept head shots as part of the game? HOCKEY IS HOCKEY.
I'm not saying other countries can't have assholes. They most certainly have a lot. But when it comes to hockey, many Canadians have some egotistical and superior attitude against anyone who isn't Canadian.
I'm not bashing Canadians. I'm making a speculation of what I see and hear. I respect many Canadians, but many Canadians don't respect me or other Americans.
