We apologize to no one ๐
THG obviously knows more about hockey than me but I just can't 100% agree with this take. Tax free states aren't THE issue but they are AN issue. LTIR wasn't THE issue but it was AN issue. The Panthers don't get let off all of the time but they do seem to get a few easier calls from DoPS than other teams. People got mad about Bennett injuring another goalie more and more as his dirty play paid bigger and bigger dividends but ALSO because of mass hysteria. I'm not trying to trash his take and I think Shannon brings much-needed sobriety to the topic but I feel like there is a bit more nuance to be had. I will say, THG sees the crazy side of hockey takes way more than me though so we have different perspectives.
if you think the department of player safety is horrible, look no further. Colin Campbell is a cheat and he didn't get "fired" from his position in 2011, he actually got promoted to over-watch the hockey operations, including DPS. Shanahan tried to change things after him but Campbell "removed" him and put his goons in place. The fact that George Parros still has the position show he has total control. it's one of the things that repulse me as a hockey fan and we can't do nothing about it. they ignore social media. that's why they can't sell the game either.
Cos they cheat, are dirty, and game the system?
I like physical hockey.
I like a rough game.
I even like the occasional fight.
That's not the problem with the Panthers.
It's obvious to anyone who has played or watches a lot of NHL hockey (including you, Shannon) that the Panthers engage in a consistent pattern of attempting to injure opposing players, and whatever the reason, DoPS lets them off easy for it.
everyone except the broadcasters on the national feed.
I love them. I hate Chicago and LA by a lot though
This modern look for hockey is so much better. Near zero future stars get their career ended early, nobody has any life long injuries, stuff gets noticed more and the league looks way more refined, respectable and not nearly as rachet. People who say otherwise don't know what they are talking about and don't really care about safety or care for others.
Haters just love to hate. โค My Panthers!
Bring on the hate – Cats threepeat incoming
Flames fan here and chucky and bennie fan still,proud of them boys and i've been wearing my panthers tkachuk jersey the past couple days and been getting kinda harassed by canadien team fans here in saskatoon and i fricken love it…they try and talk ๐ฉ but can't back it up other than " wE sTiLl gOt mCdAvId" and "mAtThEwS iS wAy BeTtEr" lol
Bennett can score….
Very well said sir i would like to remind everyone stolarz took a fast puck to the front of his mask after that he never looked on his game. Then the Bennett incident happened. But people only want to believe what justifies there feelings. If the leafs won nobody would say anything about Bennett.
Emperor Palpatine – "Let the hate flow through you!"
I loved it when everyone hated the Blackhawks 10 years ago. Hate never felt so good!
Because it's not real hate, it's jealousy.
Compete and win, simple.
As a panthers fan that has now been limited to only being able to interact on twitter, it makes it so annoying that people keep using the DoPS argument to invalidate anything they do. Itโs also so annoying hearing people say that panthers fans have only been watching for 2 years. Me and most of my twitter keyboard warriors have been fans for at least since 2017. I have been a fan since 2011 and I have never looked back.
Been a fan from ๐ณ๐ฟ since the days of Mellanby, Laus ๐ค๐พ
Our team was irrelevant for nearly thirty years. Crappy ownership, crappy management and sprinkle in a rare playoff appearance here or two. Nobody wanted to play here, if you were drafted here, you wanted to find your way out as quickly as possible.
So now, NOW that our team has finally found our way, has found success and, not just a flash on the pan success, SUSTAINED success, you think we really give a crap what fans of other teams think of us? Of our team?
No, no we donโt.
Lemieux was a whiner for his size, like Lindros.
I don't hate Florida at all. They beat the Oilers twice in the Stanley cup final. That in itself makes me like them. (I do expect Oiler trolls to reply)
IF YOU HATE FLORIDA STOP COMING TO FLORIDA!
In the Original Six there was respect.
As a Cats fan since day one, the hate feeds my soul.
Really liked Florida up until they started winning in the playoffs ๐ญ
