tb all the way
lol i'm catching up on my tampa bay bucs draft press confrences and my boy raheem (head coach) is repping a lightning jersey. gotta love it. go bolts!
Under normal circumstances, no such an injury isn't funny (see: Max Pac). But since McQuaid is going to be perfectly fine, why isn't it okay to laugh at his own stupidity that put him in that situation? If he died on the ice, ya then I could understand the issue. He didn't though. He tried to make a hit of questionable legality and hurt himself. It is like when a baseball pitcher goes nuclear in the dugout and starts punching gatorade containers because they had a bad game. When Zambrano broke his hand doing that, it was the funniest thing I have seen in baseball in a long time.

The Hockey Gods suspended him. All is well in the game.
Whatever happened to that dude that was really into Datsyuk? I haven't seen him post in ages...
Figure of speech. learn it.
In all honesty the hit he was going to make would be a very bad hit. as in could've ended badly for the person he hit, but instead he got a taste of his own medisine, so yea i'm kinda glad he knocked himself out. if it was a clean hit then ofcourse if would feel sorry for the guy, but not in this case.
If this had been Kronwall, who has injured himself going for a stupid hit before, I would have laughed just so you know no bias exists. If McQuaid had went for a textbook check and cleared Richards out of the area it would have been fine. But he went for a lunging elbow to the upper region of another player and totally biffed it. He will be fine, stop whining about the injured part as it is completely overplayed. Laugh at his stupid action.
Didn't you ever have that friend who did something stupid and reckless and hurt himself? There is that brief second of concern, and then once the concern is past, all that is left is "Adam that was fucking hilarious you stupid piece of shit. What were you thinking?"
I thought it was funny.
I thought this was hilarious.
If actions speak louder than words
I'll be the most deafening noise you've heard.
I'll be that ringing in your ears
That will stick around for years.
Cooke deserves it though and that was a clean fight. He's not going to learn. He didn't get to play at all in the first round because of his BS.
Edit: Yeah, McQuaid's hit looked like it was going a little high, but I doubt it would have been a headshot had it connected. So saying he deserves it and laughing at him is messed up. It would be like me coming here and making fun and laughing at the Zdeno Chara and Max Pacioretty incident.

The chance Cooke will actually learn is about zero, you are correct. That guy is always going to be a tremendously talents second-third line player who can't control his stupid behavior long enough to stop hurting his team.
The Chara/Max Pac hit is worlds apart from the McQuaid. Pac didn't get hurt trying to make a dangerous, stupid check on Chara. If you want a comparison play, here is one:
Stupid questionably illegal action-check
Results in injury-check
Injury doesn't end up being too serious- check
Fucking hilarious-check
Only difference is the guy hurt his teammate instead of hurting himself.

lecalvlier is looking nice right now. Caps are actually playing a good game and not relying on Neuvirth to carry them all the way
Looks like the Green Men made a road trip to Nashville. I wonder if they were able to get their same seats.
i hope they have a cutout of carrie underwood or vince gill lol, that would be amazing.
