Don’t listen to Boiled Hardeggs (Doyle Hargraves), Holland is a bum.

“The Detroit Redwings select, Filip Zadina” - Holland

Does anybody have that clip of Benning and Weisbrods reaction when Holland drafted Zadina. Boiled Hardeggs needs to see that again.

Holy fuck suck it up you whiney little bitch. This liberalized political correctness movement has gotten so ridiculously out of control.

How can he look at himself in the mirror after trying to ruin a guy over a stupid locker room insult like that? Sure it's insulting...sure its wrong but to drag the guy over the coals like that is disgusting

The worst part is all the SJWs screaming for Peters' head based upon a single tweet.

For all anyone knows Alui may be a pathological liar.

Or maybe he misheard Peters due to a hearing/mental problem.

Maybe he's under heavy medication these days and dreamt it.

Point is, they know NOTHING about this guy yet choose to completely believe a random tweet.

Hell, maybe a hacker hijacked his account...

Every once in a while a sane person will say "Let's not rush to judgement, wait til all the facts are in."

The usual response to that is "Screw that, Peters will lie and say he didn't say it of course... FIRE HIM!!"

It's a mad mad mad mad mad world...

What we need is a world wide truth and reconciliation day. Everyone gets a chance to fess up for every N word, C word, Homo word, every off colour joke, every racist thought, every bad thought, word, deed, they have ever had or done. Get it all out and then forgive. then we start with a clean slate and see who is who. I mean I get the me too movement but it pains me to see people crucified for something they said or did 20+ years ago. Every off colour joke etc. now except for the real bad guys, let it go already.
The only HW the Canucks need

...and so the ‘Cultural Revolution’ in the West continues to roll on. Better play your SJW-approved victim card before one gets played on you and you get kangaroo-courted by the SM mobs into “de-platformed’ status.

Dunno what Babcock shit is coming out, but then I don’t pay that much attention to leaves shit despite Sportsnet’s better efforts.
Love the Sport. Love the Team.

Hate the League.

I might need more than a day. :oops:
I get the me too thing too but I thought the burnings took place in the sixties. ;) kidding.
Though I support Mark Donnelly when he skips that part in the anthem and the fans sing it the old right way.
The whole things BS anyways cause when I was a kid,I always thought it meant son of God. Go figure.

I only take folks seriously when they feel truly hurt and are trying to help others. I do not when it's exclusively for drawing attention to themselves, personally. Can a keen eye tell the dif? I'd like to think so...

Bill Peters is going to be getting the hook and rightfully so. Racist POS. One wonders if he would have the jam to call Donald Brashear or Georges Laraque that name.

The best part is how he lauds himself as being a potential 20 goal guy with zero special teams time. Other than that brief window of minor league "success" he never lasted anywhere very long. His one crack in the NHL came with Calgary and after that he didn't stick with a single team for more than 19 games.

…. ummm.. I need longer than 24 hours for that. Can we make it 36-40 hours of 'reconciliation time period'?.. And I think I am socially against the word 'day'.. I mean, who are we to judge how that time period wants to be addressed? its a Label, and I am not comfortable with that kind of temporal profiling...

Well they're still investigating there Mr Lynch.

But if it turns out he's found guilty...

Do you think he should be fired for a 10 second rant 10 years ago?

(if guilty, wouldn't an apology and a course in sensitivity training be enough?)

How would you feel about it if you were the one being investigated Mr Highandmighty.

We both know you've said worse... is it grounds for YOUR dismissal... 10 YEARS LATER?

He wasn't employed by the Flames at the time of the alleged comments

... if they fire him for this will they face a lawsuit?

I'm not saying it's okay to say what he allegedly said.

It's not looking good for Peters right now, but we really should let the investigation run its course.

https://www.tsn.ca/calgary-flames-gm-no ... -1.1404023
“He walked in before a morning pre-game skate and said ‘Hey Akim, I’m sick of you playing that n----- s---,’ ” Aliu told TSN, with Peters, who was then the Ice Hogs head coach, referring to Aliu’s selection of hip-hop music. “He said ‘I’m sick of hearing this n-----s f------ other n-----s in the ass stuff.’

“He then walked out like nothing ever happened. You could hear a pin drop in the room, everything went dead silent. I just sat down in my stall, didn’t say a word.”

Two of Aliu’s Rockford teammates who were in the room at the time of the alleged incident, Simon Pepin and Peter MacArthur, independently corroborated Aliu’s account to TSN on Tuesday.
BTW Aliu was as big as Brashear/Laraque and waaaaay nastier apparently.

Allegedly rotating billets because he allegedly had a habit of assaulting the billet folk allegedly.

Building a plant in Alberta 10 years ago, the new boss came in from texas and addressed us all as "snow n-----rs"....including a bunch of black dudes.

Everyone laughed it off and chalked it up to the guy being a prick but NOBODY would've ran to anyone and had him canned even though he was an asshole.

Billets probably couldn't stand his jungle rhythms either.
Over the Internet, you can pretend to be anyone or anything.

I'm amazed that so many people choose to be complete twats.
