Maybe it's in the column, but I'd love to see something to back up the assertion that you quoted. That's quite the statement to throw out there as if it is factual and I have a hard time believing it. I didn't read it though, so maybe he does actually attempt to back that up. Maybe I'll give the column a chance later, but I have no interest in it right now.

The riots undermine everything else.

The problem with this cell phone video culture is that you only see the second half of any incident, but then people immediately pass judgement as if they saw the whole thing. And as for the thought that this is the logical response and that they need to let their voice be heard, since when is it logical to respond to an injustice by burning down the local CVS. Now grandma has a much harder time getting her medication and the young mother will have a hard time getting formula for her baby. You feel that your community is being hurt, so the logical response is to go out and damage your community. That's not logical, it's self-destructive. Whiskey, you mentioned that past reform came out of events like this. The problem I have with that is I don't get the sense that we have the type of dynamic leadership at any level that can make something happen.

And all this crap does is turn people against whatever cause might have had a chance of being listened to. It sucks for Gray's family, but this is now his legacy.

They have no goal in this. Don't kid yourself. All they want is to destroy something. If there's some idiot out there who thinks this actually sends a message, all it does is perpetuate this never ending circle of stupidity we have going.

I guess I didn't expect such ridiculous responses. There is no logic to that behavior. The people out there setting buildings on fire and stabbing holes in fire hoses are pure garbage who do nothing but set back all of mankind. They're not angry, they just want a free bag of Doritos.

That's what I get for posting in here

Does the picture also have a captain talking about Adam Wainwright when you go to the page too?

I don't know if that's serious or what it is, but I have no idea how to respond.

What if that goalie's eyes are too close together?

It was an autocorrect. Don't play it stupid, you know who I was responding to.

Why are people so stupid?

Frame, you do realize that he already left home once to play hockey for a couple of years, right?

I bet he had an ammo clip in his trunk loaded with one too many bullets.

He was never the hero of the whole city though. There are five D1 hockey teams all within a couple miles of each other in Boston (granted, no one cares about one of those teams). BC dominates that market, so Eichel was actually hated by much more of that so called hometown market than those that loved him. And then there's the region as a whole, far more teams than most can imagine. No one player is ever going to have the whole area's respect. That's only going to happen out west where it is far more isolated. He wants to be more than just a local legend and that will never be accomplished at the NCAA level. You know who is a local legend around that area? This guy.

The news has the video, so the police have the video. The only reason the company wouldn't be aware of it is because they're intentionally avoiding it.

I'd still take that over the end result for this pickup truck.

And the lesson is, don't mess around on the roads because you have no idea what is behind the wheel of any other car.

And a couple other forwards projected as first/second round picks in the next two drafts, along with the son of a former Terrier/NHLer they're trying to recruit right now. They're bringing in a ton of talent and they're more than likely planning on using Eichel's scholarship for someone else.

Those are the kind of things I can't tell from just the video. Was it the thruway? I do wonder if the truck driver may have actually saved the whole thing from being far worse. I have no clue how those things handle, but I get the feeling he played some role in the whole wreck going off the road and the shoulder. There's no way that other truck behind him was going to be able to stop if any of those three cars had remained on the road.

One thing he does have going for him is that, as far as I remember, you never see his brake lights light up. So at least from that video, he could very well be moving at a good speed. For all we know from that video, it very well may be the truck driver speeding up so that he can't pass. I doubt anyone believes that for one second, but it could definitely be argued based on that video.

No one's defending the Camaro... well, except for maybe PA trying to come up with his crazy scenarios. I was talking specifically about the pickup truck in what you quoted. He may not have done anything wrong legally, but he was definitely an agitator in what played out. And thanks to me using that description, I am now picturing Brad Marchand behind the wheel of that pickup.

I can't imagine there was anything wrong legally, unless he's well below the speed limit at that point (not sure what the law's view is on that). Following the law and being a duchebag are not mutually exclusive though.

Keep in mind that the Hobey ceremony is the day before the national championship game.

Maybe it's a cold way to look at things, but if your scenario plays out, I say the pickup driver did his/her job because s/he was not involved in the accident. And damn you for making me type out those gender options. Too many extra keys! :wallbash: :P
