He wasn’t holding Subban down. Subban had a lock on his leg (look at Subban’s gloves) because he had lost his stick and didn’t want to let Crosby go. Crosby had the option of asking Subban politely to release him, asking the ref politely to call the hold, or do what he did.

Well, if you said it before, that changes everything. I’ll pay closer attention from now on.

Well, it’s pretty obvious she doesn’t watch much hockey.

But he was right about Laviolette: If you are going to whine about a call, you better be right. Lav professed ignorance of anything Subban did, which was lock his arms around Crosby’s leg because he had lost his stick.

If their leg is locked down and the ref is ignoring it, they might be.

Given that she made that comment about “unnecessary violence,” I don’t think she has watched too many hockey games.

But you can see, even in Emma’s photo accompanying her upset at “unnecessary violence,” that Subban’s hands are locked together; his arms are around Crosby’s leg.

He is top 10, but it’s artistry that cements Gretzky, Lemieux, and Orr in the top pantheon.

I guess you must watch NBC. Otherwise you would know about this endearing catfish phenomenon, which doesn’t get old even after the hundreth telling and closeup of said fish.

Don’t be disingenuous, Emma, with your horror at “unnecessary violence.” One, violence is rather a constant in a hockey game, “unnecessary” or not, including plenty of cheap shots dished out by Subban, not to mention bush-league chirping in Crosby’s ear after the game is over. Two, look at your own photo. See Subban’s…

My point is that half the time Toronto fans hate their team, or did, prior to this season for a long time.

Not sure how this applies to what I said.

I would say Geno was pretty invisible after the first; they kind of smothered him.

No, he said outside its fan base.

Anyway, I wouldn’t put it in the category of “robbing” him. It would have been negligent if he weren’t under that ball.

Nor is the United States. He would be African-Dominican

It’s just a rule that you always refer to a Finnish goalie by first and last names.

And so much better than Chicago, where the trains are filthy, are infrequent as a matter of course, are seldom patrolled, and are filled with people who don’t follow the codes and norms of rider conduct that are far more observed in NY.

And if the context were different—if Ham was writing about some Republican plan to assail the MTA as a typical inefficient public enterprise and to cut its budget, Hamilton would be painting the authority, management included, in saintly terms.
