Actually just called a ref a cocksucker

I thought he said fag or faggot but I guess not.

Weak.

I read differently on twitter, but it sure isn't clear. If he did just call a ref a cocksucker, then fine him and carry on by all means - I don't think most ppl consider cocksucker inherently homophobic yet. Maybe in 20 years.

Yeah, it's interesting how things change. It's shocking when threads on here from like 2003 get necro bumped and it's "tranny" this and "fag" that all over the place.

I think it's considered homophobic academically, but definitely doesn't have the same severity attached given the history (or lack thereof) of the word.

Plus this guy made it cute:

I haven't used the word cocksucker since my early twenties. How old is Getzlaf? Immature word to use. So many other ways to verbally abuse a ref. I'm

Deadwood is so awesome. Gonna have to crack open that box set again.


Bottom line: racist/homophobic/etc slurs aside I fully support any player who feels the need to harshly insult and/or demean a ref behind his back as he's skating away. Those assholes deserve it, but there's a million cameras now you really gotta be careful.

Stunning the kind of character that has infested the Ducks franchise. Makes you wonder what DucksGAF says behind closed doors.

It's really...weird for an FE game mechanics-wise, but not in a bad way. I'm liking it so far.

Gaiden was actually my first FE, but it was nearly a decade ago and I never got more than a couple of chapters in.

like the dungeon crawling?
I have been in the dark for it
I only played the 3DS ones, from awakening->birthright

you play heroes? I kinda gave up, getting orbs is too hard, and its such a grind >.<

Welp, Fisher is out.

Frederick Gaudreau and Vladislav Kamenev are on the ice for warmups, as is Miikka Salomaki and PAP.

Hoo boy.

edit: Rakell out for the Ducks

Obviously this is a big setback, but I can still see you guys taking the series. This game will be a "show what we can do through adversity" exhibition, and then all you have to do is win one out of two.

That, and the core gameplay changes. There's no weapon triangle, magic costs HP, characters only have one item slot, characters can learn skills based on the equipped weapon (said skills also costing HP). Way different than other FEs.

I basically log into Heroes to collect the daily rewards and that's it. Got kinda bored after I put together a high-leveled team.

Certainly throws all of the matchups out the window, at least. We'll see.

i could probably be your dad. remember i saw Gretzky play in his prime. so show some respect.

im becoming a wise old man, i can feel it. with my wisdom i can predict Nashville will be out like they deserve because they arent a REAL NHL hockey team. also same goes for Ottawa. and Anaheim.
