I mean cutting off native Americans ponytails was a thing that happened in this country. I don't know where that comment he made comes from anywhere other than the history already in place with it.
Who knows if Shawn knew that or not. Either way the suspension is justified. - hereticpride
I wasn't aware and I'm certified to teach history. People can't be aware of every misdeed that has happened to every "group" of persons all-time.
IMO he was just messing with a guy that had long hair.... Like if he said to shave Burn's beard....
Here we go.A win streak coming.This team is too good to finish bottom 5.Those of you hoping they will are going to be disappointed. They wont make the playoffs but will pick between 8-12.
incase you missed it Shawny Hill is suspended from doing the Flyers because of an incodent during the wings game.
Shawny said "Let's snip the ponytail." Which IMO is not racist or racially motivated... Just sounds like he is messing with a member of the opposite team...
However the crowd started chanting "Scalp him"... that is racist, but I dont think it was Shawny's intention for that to happen.
I hope he gets his job back. This kind of thing is happening too frequently. Can we just only fire people that are intentionally racist, sexist, etc? - youarewrong

My focus is about why it worked. Simple concept. - MJL
How many times in life have you not been able to see the path to do something better as much as you try yourself to fix it? Then someone else comes up and says "Hey how about you try this?" and BOOM it works. You would have never fixed it if they didn't give you the idea.

If EDM is truly looking for a forward and defense (reported by Ek), I would seriously consider offering Simmonds + AMac (50%). Hell retain some of Simmonds if it helps the return.

Not interested in anything Edmonton has though. Maybe their 2019 1st rounder.

I'm trying to find different ways of calling someone a jerk/tool without actually saying it. I'm struggling. - youarewrong

simmonds + gudas for a good return - 2Real
I would be open to that too, but Chia is stupid and could bite on AMac. Forget who said it yesterday, but AMac 50% retained is cheaper than Gudas. If we move Gudas I rather deal him separately since he could get a decent return.

My life and experiences are not NHL hockey. That's far too simplistic. There is too much focus and credit being given for the talk rather than the actions on the ice. There are numerous instances of quotes given by Gordon about the team play which I'm sure is the same as he is giving to the team, without results.
