What is racist about it? Seriously? My point was that you won't hear a genre of music like Metal or hardcore as a point celebration song in the NBA, it would never even be considered for a vote, so why should it be for the NHL?

First off no team in any league would choose that genre of music as a celebration because when is there any song that is a celebration type in those genres?

You must be new to HB

Sorry, didn't catch your sarcasm, I'm just currently taking what seems to be a lot of slack for giving my opinion on a song.

It's angry music. Not happy "let's celebrate" music.

Reinhart's getting PP time at least. So there's that. I think they're just trying to get him used to the speed of the NHL game. Which is why it wouldn't make sense to send him to Rochester. Game is played slower in the A.

That's kind of serotyping, don'tcha think? Buffalo's own Snapcase did nothing but positive lyrics in their music.

I can't picture a bunch of 12-13 year old hockey fans playing the air guitar and moshing when Eichel scores a goal

They got some good zone time and a few decent looks at the net. I've seen a whole lot worse.

it's not even entirely about the lyrics. It's more about the beat and just overall heavy nature of the music.

Johnson seems to be reading the play well and getting himself into the shooting lanes.

Agreed. I thought he played pretty well on Thursday too. Especially when you consider he was thrown into it.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion about what music they like, but not everything in this world has to be forced into a melting pot of different cultures. Some things should be allowed to exist and just be left alone, and I believe the heritage and history of hockey in one of them.

Hip-hop is fine if you like it but it shouldn't be pushed on a traditional white cultured sport in the name of progressionism. If, that's the case then when should I be expecting to hear Slipknot or EyeHateGod being played at an NBA game? This PC garbage is just not a one-way street.

Yes, I know we are getting more players of different ethnic backgrounds, and that's great. I want the best product on the ice. But, that doesn't mean the game needs to start evolving in a way that it reflects an urban, hip-hop culture. I mean these people who are new to the sport and the party need to assimilate into the culture and traditions of the game and its past, the long-standing majority is not the ones who should be forced into change that reflects the minority.

If Johnson keeps playing like this GMTM most definitely will not be making any trades... Sad cause I kinda wanted Hiller incase Lehner sucks too bad and Johnson becomes inconsistent.

I know you guys don't want to hear it but I think our defense is at Edmonton Oilers status when they didn't have defense

The way your brain works really is fascinating sometimes. We just held the highest scoring team from last year to 0 goals and have the backup goalie in.

Agreed. Hard to believe that our Defense was our greatest form of depth a few years ago.

I think gerbe-75 was referring to the fact that our defense especially Gorges looked like they were really struggling through the first four periods this season. But, yeah, the score is still 0-0 so it could be worse.
