I do believe that Keith was being a jackass but not buying the sexist argument. In my opinion, he would have said that to anyone. He played the "I played, you haven't" card, but I don't think you need to have played to know what a slash is. Given Keith's history with Daniel Sedin dating back to last year's elbow, it was a fair question to ask. When Keith dropped the very cocky "see ya" at the end of the clip, that just capped off his condescending tone. No need to talk down to a person like that.

Karen has handled this great. She's not making a big deal of this at all. She's a tough lady, this is already water under the bridge.


Keith being a jackass? Yep. Keith being sexist? I'm not buying it.
I agree with you, but it is interesting how your on air collegues are making her out to be a greenhorn, and Keith '...smelled blood... and took advantage...'

Who is being sexist, playing the 'poor little girl card'. If I was Karen, I'd be more pissed at my co-workers for making such a big deal about it.
