Soft euro player. A good ol' Canadian boy would never miss a game because of that.
Pens have at least the #2 seed in the East. No reason for him to play really.
Kobe Bryant likely has a torn achilles tendon

guys all my favorite sports are more relevant than your favorite sports.
your favorite sports are bad and uninteresting, mine is the paragon of athletic competition and an allegory for the human condition.
regardless of who it is it's a bummer to see anyone who is one of the best in their respective sport end their career on an injury or plagued with consistent ones, especially someone with a long storied career.

Self inflicted burn seems to be a real problem for anyone with a NHL connection these days.
He's a known troll. MVP is the douchiest joke character on GAF. He's not even funny, either--just douchey and totally unlikeable.

still waiting to hear about all the racism yao experienced
i've also yet to see an NBA, NFL or MLB team need to put out a statement saying that their racist fan tweets aren't representative of their organizations attitudes towards people of color. what's even more pathetic regarding the joel ward situation is that a month later he got another barrage of racist filth spewed at him. but i'm sure these are all just isolated incidences and not representative of a larger problem in that the nhl is far behind on diversity than every other major sports league.
So I'm guessing that posting straight fucking nonsense during his heroin breaks is how he keeps up?

To be fair... Wizards era Jordan was Atlanta era McGrady...
MVP is right!

Dude, search Twitter for NBA and the N-Word and then shut the fuck up.

Dying? As in it's alive?
I just did. It's basically retweets of some racist "joke" about Kim Kardashian for the past ten days and nothing else, but that's not proving your point. Beside, you make no sense, since this is very different: the hostility would be directed towards both the NBA/basketball and black people, meanwhile, on the other hand, the "purity" of the NHL is defended by white exceptionalists.
we're all getting merged into the NFL singularity in the next decade. First they came for the minor league sports and I said nothing...
are we really claiming issues of race, and more recently homosexuality for examples of diversity, have not been or are not present in all sports? really?
Switch the sort option to All instead of Top. I wont repost the tweets but they are there if you take the blinders off.

I don't even know who you are. Who are you? Are you significant in any way? Contributed anything to this community recently?
Don't even know what that means.

I wish the 90s Knicks played against LeBron instead of MJ.
Our freaking small forwards were bigger and infinitely better defenders than our current starting center.

No he wouldn't. He would adapt to the times. Jordan in today's NBA would be on the ground pounding the court like Wade asking for a call.

lawl about 80% of those tweeting are black
moreover you can search nigger with anything and get a bunch of racist tweets so you missed the point which seems to be a refrain for nhl gaf this entire thread. joel ward got an avalanche of racist garbage thrown at him because he violated the "whiteness" of hockey according to a number of bostonians and the bruins had to damage control that shit as a result and then a month later fans of his own fucking team did the same shit and ted leonisis had to release a statement.

He couldn't even handle a fan trying to snatch his headband in that Chicago loss, how do you think he would with players tripping, elbowing & starting fights with him?
no offense but
NHL grew by about 40% between CBAs in terms of revenue
so what is it dying from

What? What do you mean "handle"? Just let the fan do it? Or get pissed like he did.

What does the NHL have to do with Kobe? What is going on?
The system where he gives zero fucks on 95% of defense plays making him a worse defender than a guy like Steve Novak?

He'd do what Jordan did and whine to the refs about it. WTF is with this exaggerated idea that the 80s had fucking landmines on the court or something? LeBron is a fucking beast. You really think he wouldn't dominate in that era as much as he does in this era because Bill Lambierr might give him a few hard fouls. Stop romanticizing the 80s.
Not to mention outside of a few teams who played super physical, the vast majority of players even all stars/hall of famers in the 80s played jack shit for defense.

Salty and spicy all at once. Wow.
This is the one of the main reasons I don't watch the NBA. It's a joke.
Feel bad for Koby. Sucks to see his career sidelined by an injury. He's still a dick though.

I'm on that amnesty kobe wagon. Larry Coon predicted something like this could happen in 2011. so far it's going according to keikaku.

It makes no sense to do that. He's only got one year left on his contract. If he can come back and play, he puts asses in seats and makes them money. If he can't come back, insurance covers his contract for one last year and then it's gone. Jim Buss might be stupid but the Lakers as a whole can't take the PR hit of not giving Kobe at least the chance to comeback.
Makes absolutely no sense even with the luxury tax to amnesty some guy making 30 million - and get him off your roster even though you'll still have to pay him. Particularly when it's likely he'll still play sometime late next year.
The reality is they will just likely ship off Gasol somewhere and try to cut payroll through other means. Whether Dwight stays or not.
Remember, Kobe takes HGH. Just like Suggs and Lewis. They both returned in speedy fashion.

Shhh don't use logic. It would kill their stupid fucking argument that their shitty sport is superior because the NHL is "dying".
3.3 billion and people can't name two stars that are playing

I feel you though. People try to tell me the Bobcats won't make the playoffs and I stan. You don't even know how hard and long I stan.
Since you love to tell other people that they ought to improve their reading comprehension would you care to tell me where anybody said the NBA is superior to the NHL because the NHL is dying?
