I don't mean to nitpick but seriously, what is the point of your reply?

Sure, the NHL has had someone drive drunk. So what is your point?

Oh, that is right, by being clever and sarcastic you can make him look dumb without actually saying anything of substance yourself or actually defending your side with facts.

Fox News style of reporting and sensationalism at its worst.

I don't really care about the whole Vick thing. He can play if he wants it doesn't affect me, although I do hate what he did, but to compare the NHL to the NFL in terms of stupid people getting arrested or in trouble for doing stupid s*** isn't even close and you know it. And sarcastically pointing out a few NHL examples doesn't change that.

Whether or not you are going to have a negative reaction to the NFL like Everlast seems to have is irrelevant, the point is that he's right the NHL does have a significantly lower "thug" factor.

For every 1 Patrick Kane incidents in the NHL I bet there are 3-5 arrests on drugs, guns or assault in the NFL.
Why would you call out a guy for an insubstantial post when he took the time to post an effing solid re-cap earlier in the same thread? Weird, no?

Especially the way you spend half the post taking a shot, then the next half giving your take anyway, which actually wouldn't have sucked if you didn't open with being hostile.
