Jennifer B Cutler: More praise for Weber & George Parros hired by the Dept. of Player Safety The compliments haven't stopped regarding Shea Weber and former Habs player George Parros has joined the staff at the NHL's Department of Player Safety.

Great read as usual

I'm really starting to be annoyed with all the people giving their opinions on the PK/Weber trade...just want the season to start to see how this year's Habs team will fare.

"when they verse the Boston Bruins this season:"


"In the countable sense, a verse is formally a single metrical line in a poetic composition. However, verse has come to represent any division or grouping of words in a poetic composition, with groupings traditionally having been referred to as stanzas."

So, the Bruins and Habs will be settling games via poetry slam this year?
Or maybe by rap-battle?
Probably should have kept the black guy.

Quite right, I corrected it to 'play'.
However, please refer to players by their name and not the colour of their skin.

Well said Jennifer!!!!

And also, Subban was not exactly traded for a lump of coal...

It's especially funny coming from a Canucks fan, who's top 3 players combined, and their one decent prospect, would probably not even come close to fetching them a Carey Price. And even if it did, as good as Price is, chances are he could not do much with the ECHL team he would be forced to play with.

He was referencing the rap battle as a reason to not trade PK, not the game of hockey

Do you write for the Vancouver sun by any chance?

Wow Vanoxy, I know from living on the island here most of you Canucks fans are classless, but this just takes it to a whole nother' level. Flagged for sure on this one, you leave us no other choice, see you in a week...

The main issue though is he won't be any brighter in a week...

FFS! He made a joke, my only issue with it is it wasnt funny.
He may very well be a racist but you cant come to that conclusion based on his joke. Are blacks not good at rap now?

Youre the same people who watch Dave Chappelle and roll on the floor when he does white jokes. I love him and im not offended, just as im not offended by good natured black jokes.
Even Seinfeld who is squeaky clean, came out recently to criticize all this over the top political correctness.

You know that not being offended isnt and has never been a right we have? You could never legislate it because whats offensive to some is not to others. Grow some balls.
No need to flag or pretend to be offended at something so harmless. No need to group all peole from Vancouver as racists, which btw IS ACTUALLY OFFENSIVE to the people of Vancouver. Read the comment and move on.

And go (frank) yourselves.
Flag away!!







Go habs go!!

Look, I didn't flag Vanoxy. Polite discourse is perhaps utopian but I believe that is the way to go... If he/she or someone else thinks twice before the next time they write/say something that may come across a certain way, then it has worked...

Sry quotes are still not working for me.

I want you to know that yes I understand it was a joke, and I LOVES me some Dave Chappelle or any other comedian that tries to undo racial tension (fluffy, Jeff dunham, Kevin Heart, Greg Giraldo, Jeff Ross the roast master) and so many others I'd like to mention. I'm just saying you have to bring context into this discussion, and his was not over the top, but it was. I enjoy Vanoxys view most of the time, but don't you think this was a little too much?!? Maybe I've just had a crappy week, sry.

I always appreciate Jen's cool head on these matters as well, so thank you ma'am!

Yeah..sorry about that. Its the accumalitive effect of stuff ive been observing lately that set me off, i shouldnt have been so harsh with you. I dont like the direction north american society is heading in right now when it comes to certain issues. That social justice warrior/micro agression crap.....

I could have talked respectfuly about it instead of flying of the handle. Sorry again.
