Franzen vs. Kane - The battle for the mouthguard

PrintSo by now, you've probably seen the clip of Franzen taking out Kane's mouthguard. If you haven't.. here it is:
My reactions really went through 3 stages:
First stage - Well.. isn't that special Franzen? You picked on a guy who is almost half a foot shorter and 50 lbs lighter. Don't you look like a real tough guy? What a jackass...
Second stage - Man.. that's embarrassing. What a perfect metaphor for that game.
Third stage - You know what? That damn mouthguard has annoyed me for the past two years. I'm glad someone finally did something about it.
Chris Kuc got Kane's reaction to it today:
"I'm kind of whacking the goalie (Ty Conklin) and [Franzen] comes in and just takes the mouthpiece and throws it," said Kane, who often skates around the ice chewing on his mouthguard instead of having it in his mouth. "You never really think he was going to come up and grab your mouthpiece and throw it out. It was kind of surprising at first. The ref was right there so I was hoping he was going to call something, maybe a misconduct. I was kind of asking the ref a little bit for that.
"It's kind of surprising. It's never happend before."
Kane told me, "it's pretty funny, check it out on Youtube."
This is a reason I really like Kane. Instead of flipping out and making a scene.. he asks a question to the ref then just lets it go and laughs about it later.
A2Y seems to think he's a punk for skating away.. instead of what? Starting a fight that he'll clearly lose? I'm glad that at least one Hawks decided to pick his battles wisely.

I'm over it.
I don’t even know what game you’re talking about or where the hell that clip came from. Far as I’m concerned, Kane can wear that thing pinched over his nose if he wants so the mule-scum smells less the barnyard beast.
Like, for instance in Detroit, tomorrow. Hopefully the mule is busy stinking the place up.
"Call Detroit, tell dem... BULLSHIT!"
harmless
This is only news because we lost the game. Franzen does a harmless little thing, and people scream “OUTRAGE!” These little things happen, but rarely get so clearly caught on camera. Kane knows it’s funny. It is funny. Here’s a rallying cry: “play smart in your own end” or how about “clear the zone cleanly”. This mouthguard talk is just stupid.
Hawks in 7???!!!
Wow. That is just balls of steel optimism… I like it! There is no damn reason this team can’t take game 5 and bring this thing back here for more rowdiness. Back to Lateralus.

YES
Thank God. I would like to put forward a motion to immediately detach ourselves from the phenomenal amount of negativity oozing out of every pore surrounding our boys right now. Alright, alright… it happened. It’s over. No, really, it is over.
"Call Detroit, tell dem... BULLSHIT!"
Fine.
But if Olcyzk says one positive thing about Detroit, just one, you better believe I’m going to start a new thread demanding he gets fired…eeeeeeemediately.

Stage 3
The whole thing made me giggle. And it is good to see the Hawks have senses of humor, too.
If I can't be a good example, I'll just be a horrible warning
I’m totally down with Hawks in 7.
I was pissed that Franzen did that even though it annoys the crap out of me, but still, it simply shows a TOTAL AND COMPLETE utter disrespect for Kaner. It’s the hockey equivalent of kicking sand on my boy. Total dick move.
I sincerely hope this move by Franzen was the Willie Mitchell of last round and that G Money comes out firing. Firing I tell you. Go get em Kaner.
SKAGS you the MAN
“….but still, it simply shows a TOTAL AND COMPLETE utter disrespect for Kaner…..”
Just remember the last person to say “disrepect” was the BIGGEST ASS-wipe ever heard on TV….. Pierre MacQueer. That little shithead needs to be sitting between the benchs and someone needs to drill him with a slap shot and show how much RESPECT people have for MacQueer. If things get out of hand WEDNESDAY can someone soot the puck in there….. PLEASE!
mouthguard
so moose took kanes binky.do something back like score. ozzie ozzie
Moose? How many fucking animals are you going to nickname this guy after? Is it only animals that start with M? Can we call him Manatee or Muskrat next?
Manatees are bullshit

the 3-1 goals lead is the most dangerous to have in a game. Why can’t it also be the most dangerous to have in a series?
Am I the only one who misses watching the CSN commercials?
I really miss seeing the IPA folks every other commercial break, and as annoying as that “ENERGY” commercial was, I kind of miss it too.

Fuckn' Right Samfels we're winning in 7!
The Wings are not that good and are ripe for the taking. In fact the Wings are very similar to the Capitals in that it’s Euro after Euro and once the Pens took their physical game to a higher level the Caps had no response. Is Elroy Jetson that much better than Varlmanov? The Hawks are lot much better team than what they showed on Sunday but then again the same could be said of the Red Sox when they lost 19-8 in Game 3 to the Yanks and looked what happened next! If the Red Sox can do it, so can the Hawks and I believe they will. Khabby will be back and so will JHC and Kane will fianlly light it up and you know (as usual with this site) the calling out of Campbell will undoubtly lead to a monster game and rest of the series by the red-headed assasin!
Hawks in 7 FUCK YAH!!!
SamFels good job for there seems to be too many people scribing the epitaph on the tombstone without the body even being in the ground. I never have and never will give up on this team even through the darkest of times!
Keep it simple
Throw it deep and go get it. Against the Scum it should be effective as well as satisfying. If you don’t get the puck, at least you get to hit someone. It’s the first time this team has faced elimination and I’m curious how they react. It’s part of the learning process that they’ve done so well this post-season. They need to look at each other and ask if they want the season to end Wednesday night. If they don’t they can go out and play for each other. Take the hit and make the play. Move the feet. Keep going. Get up. Move the feet. Keep going.
Or they can prove NBC’s crew right, and that’s simply unacceptable.
That and I’ve got a poker game on Saturday and I want a game to watch. ’HAWKS IN 7!!!!
Nothing smells better than burnt wings
Hawks in 2010
Maybe. Possibly. Nah. Probably not.
I love how you call Detroit the Scum. They’re only more experienced, with more talent and better fans. Tougher all around. So I can see why you’re jealous.
I love how you whine about hard hits, too. And awwww, did some bad man take away Kaney’s passy? Bad man!
I love how you try and run down the city of Detroit. Betcha didn’t know that the Chicago area has more unemployed folks than Metro Detroit. Hope Sears doesn’t drop. All those custodial jobs down the drain.
I love it when you say that getting Khabby back will change things. Yeah, like the Wings don’t already have his number.
I love it when you stay so positive. It gives all of us in Detroit a warm feeling inside. Urp. Nope. Just heartburn.

Worst case scenario, we get tingly watching sad faced wings after the Pens get some payback. It will be a shame if the Hawks don’t go this year, but for a team that came from where they started this year it’s been a great ride. The Hawks are not lacking in talent, though they are a bit challenged in properly channeling that talent into the robotic machine that the wings and now the pens have become. Well, the pens still have some life and it will be exciting watching ferengi, I mean evengi score on ozzie multiple times. If the Hawks do indeed fall by the wayside, please do send us a picture of the cup…..raised by Crosby.
What's that?
We have more unemployed in the city of Chicago than you have living in Metro Detroit? Makes sense, I can’t see why anyone would want to live there anyway.
If I can't be a good example, I'll just be a horrible warning

is metro detroit the size of a city block?

Delusional
“We’ll send you a photo of the Cup!”
Um… I bet you have a really cool jersey, maybe even authentic with fight strap.
That doesn’t mean you’re on the team though, douche bag.
I love the credit Wings fans take for their team, like they actually accomplished something beyond waltzing down to the unemplyment office to cash the check to buy the jersey and beer and keep the electricity on for long enough to watch a game, during which they fantasize that they’re out there skating and the delicious post-game shower with eight strapping Swedes.
Can't wait for tomorrow...
…for when we win Game 5 and wipe those fucking smiles off the Scum right in the Joe!

You sir
know nothing about regular education. :-p
disregard the crusade
so any form of “gay” slang is off limits, but special education is fair game…….nice.
I just disregarded your entire crusade mjthor.
Completely different contexts.
And what’s this about a “crusade?” Do I look like one of these motherfuckers? (I guess that’s unfair question because you most likely have no idea what I look like. But no, I don’t look like one of those motherfuckers.) The fact of the matter is that this guy gave me a legitimate reason to believe that he has some sort of cognitive or developmental disability; or that he is severely lagging in his education. In either case — and whether or not you agree with the latter — he would most likely, based on the evidence he’s presented to us via his comments, end up in a special education classroom. Now, that opens a huge can of worms regarding why certain students get placed into co-taught and non-mainstreamed classrooms, but I’m not the one who writes IEPs.
In stark contrast to this situation is the comment to which I can only assume you are referring, where you equated Huet’s clean-shaven face with homosexuality. To save us all the pedantry, I’ll resist explaining basic logic and which specific logical fallacies you are committing with that conclusion. Suffice to say that it’s an absurd “argument” and makes zero sense. This is not even taking into consideration the fact that you’re using “gay” in a blatantly pejorative fashion, which is where the real offense takes place.
In summation, shut the fuck up you retarded homo.

just trying to make a point.......
that in a sports blog, no one likes being lectured on someone’s personal, non-sports related convictions. (Which I’ve seen you do a couple of times, including once on detroit’s blog). I had no problem with your first post, but the point needed to be made. And a crusade is not just religious term by the way.
I think the authors of this site can agree with me when I say that one of the beauties (as VERSTEEG! would say) of this site is that it is a fantastically politically incorrect and vulgar blog on what we all love CHICAGO BLACKHAWKS HOCKEY! Can we all agree to no more non-sports related lectures?
"If you're scared, go buy a dog" - Stacey King
"Can we all agree to no more non-sports related lectures?"
Fuck no. If you call someone gay because they’re clean-shaven, I will berate you endlessly — no matter the context. If your “personal, non-sports related convictions” include hating homosexuals, then I’m sorry, this is not a social contract I am willing to sign.
Plus your point was bullshit. Maybe I did need to pedantically explain the framework of basic logic…
NOW STOP IT RIGHT HERE
you're hopeless
I never said I hated gay people. People use pollitically incorrect slang such as “gay” and “fag” (even the writers here on secondcityhockey use them, I don’t see you lecturing them) and don’t actually hate gay people. It is part of today’s language, and while that may not be a good thing, why can’t you just keep your iron fist rule in the classroom?
And don’t tell me that you really thought the detroit fan was actually mentally handicapped, because you didn’t, and if you did it would be horrible to suggest it in such a cavalier way.
"If you're scared, go buy a dog" - Stacey King
Oh, okay.
So I can use the “N-word” — BUT WAIT, it’s okay as long as I don’t actually hate black people. Am I getting this right?
NOW STOP IT RIGHT HERE
dude
rappers use it all the time, and they don’t hate black people. It is yet another example of pollitically incorrect slang being part of our culture. You can argue that the two n words are different, but they’re not. Can we just talk sports, that’s my only point.
"If you're scared, go buy a dog" - Stacey King
Well, you won this argument.
If rappers do it, it must be okay. I can’t really argue with that.
NOW STOP IT RIGHT HERE
I think that kid might have been.. honestly. Something’s not quite right anyway. Maybe he’s just really stupid though.
For the record – I really don’t like the use of words like fag or retard.. and prefer if both weren’t on the site. However, I do still occasionally catch myself using them… so please.. call me out on them… “gaytarded” is an exception though since it’s so ridiculous I don’t think it can really offend.
deal
But I assume mjthor has read SCH posts and recaps with such terms and he hasn’t said anything, but when nobodys like me or some guy on a detroit blog say something like “pahlsson not growing a playoff beard is gay” he is on us like flies on shit. That was my point. You guys can say whatever the hell you want, if I don’t like it I won’t keep reading (which isn’t gonna happen).
"If you're scared, go buy a dog" - Stacey King
I think he was on you because it didn't make any sense.
Gay dudes love beards. I’m pretty sure there’s a spike in NHL viewership during the playoff months amongst the gay community, and that is only tangentially related to the competitive play.
Really, Pahlsson’s clean-shaven face is kind of like a big F-U to the gay communtiy. We should be yelling at him. Why is he such a homophobe?
Got more soul than a sock with a hole.
see now that's just funny
Way to take the edge off chrome.
For the record and to test your humorous theory. I am growing a playoff beard and have not been hit on by any dudes, but I may not be an adequate sample due to the fact that I’m really not that good looking.
Let’s go hawks.
"If you're scared, go buy a dog" - Stacey King
This will sound funny saying
“my friend did this” but it’s true. My old roommate had been to a gay bar twice. The first time, he was clean shaven. The second time, he was sporting a beard as part of the Chiditarod costume. The second time, apparently, was much more uncomfortable than the first.

Kane and Franzen (mule, moose, marmaduke, whatever you guys are calling him)
I think if you guys read the whole post over at our place you’ll see that while we started out ragging on Kane, the tune changed after a while when it was reported that he had a sense of humor about it.
And I meant to post this yesterday, but the whole 24 hour waiting period deal delayed me. Full credit to the guys who run this blog. I’m fetal for a good 24 hours after a Wing playoff loss. You guys were all over it soon after Sunday’s game. I would have pouted for several more hours, like a little bitch.
Good luck tonite and here’s to a kick ass rivalry the next few years.
see, this guy is a wings fan, but he can type a coherent sentence (private schooled?). For that reason alone I am not going to tell him how I think his man-crush on Zetterburg has gone just a little to far to the creepy side ().
We don’t get fetal after losses here, more like rabid. Problem similar appearance to an outsider though.
Kane usually has a pretty good sense of humor about stuff like that.

No man-crush on Zetterburg
