Very nice win...Rasmussen was lucky he was wearing a visor...it kept his face intact when he tried to mash it into the glass between the benches.
Teuvo continues to get better now that he's being allowed to settle in on the Lottery Line...(please leave him there Q!)
Another nice game for Scrappy Doo.
Crawford was very good...still gave up to many rebounds imo...but they seemed to always land in safe places.
Panarin is ridiculous.
TVR looked decent...even slid feet first into the boards and got up!
Overall, the team looked solid.
Checked out TCI for shits and giggles...McClure wrote another unreadable pregame rant, reminding us how horrible white, male Hawks fans are and how disgusting sports teams are in general towards the fairer sex. His love for Kaner grows deeper each game.
Quote:
At center the Predators have two of the most despicable human beings in the league in their top two spots, however women’s rights advocate Mike Fisher will not play tonight. The other of course being Mike Ribeiro, who leaves a trail of shit so long it’s really impossible to keep up with. After his most recent playoff no-show, Ribeiro settled out of court with his children’s caregiver for his absolutely disgusting behavior (trigger warning). Making things even more dispicable was GM David Poile’s craven attempts to sign Ribeiro in the off season, going so far as to call him a “family man” on sports talk radio. That Poile could say that with a straight face to actively court a contractless Ribeiro over the summer is yet another glaring example of how this league and sports in general simply do not give a fuck about women.
And in some completely awful and cynical respects, the Mike Ribeiro situation gives some perspective on the behavior entitled, shitbag, white male Blackhawks fans since early August. Had the impossible happened and Garbage Dick had actually been charged (as almost no rape cases with even non-famous people result in formal charges and even fewer in convictions because of the Rape Culture we live in), it might have finally gotten through to these swamp creatures that there are bigger things outside of life that SPORPS. They would have had to confront just what cost on their souls all of these championship celebrations as a result of his on-ice feats has been. Even the threat of that being taken away or even questioned has led to numerous threats and harassment of anyone who would dare believe a woman’s claims of sexual assault. And that has revealed a heinous underbelly that is literally omnipresent in this fanbase. In that same vein the Preds’ pursuit of Mike Ribeiro is just absolutely pathetic, as he’s always been a wilting, shit-terrible player on the ice as well. But even acknowledging the discrepancy between the two is proof that there always has been and always will be a different set of rules for Patrick Kane, and he is allowed to exist in a bubble completely devoid of real consequence because he is good at hockey.
Tip of the hat to CH for posting that yesterday...though I missed clicking on the stinkfinger thread.
