I don't see her raising a stink over the incident. Sounds to me like she wasn't offended and took it merely as a heat of the moment comment.

Yep, for sure and Karen knows this for sure. She's definitely not playing any kind of victim card.

Sign me up for wanting the Canucks and Blackhawks to meet in the playoffs this year. Would be one hell of a series.

Only way that could happen given their 1 and 3 seedings would be in the Western final.

No, I only work the odd game here and there. Maybe 5-6 a season.
Too bad, I like the OT hours.

those questions get asked almost after every game though
it's just not seen because most players don't react like jackasses, and I said it early I don't think it has anything to do with being sexist, just a jerk

"Hey, you know when Sedin scored that highlight reel goal on your team in this huge game? You should've had a penalty on that play too right?"
Pretty much what the reporter was asking, with terrible timing and tone but Keith is supposed to be a professional, he should've just taken the higher ground and said no comment or just walked away.

That sounded more offensive then what Keith said. I guess we should see a story about this soon.

Stupid question. Keith should have just taken a page from Tortorella's book, called her an idiot, gave her a stupid look like she was drooling and left it at that.

Maybe a lawyer here could answer this, but couldnt Keith sue McCowen/SNet for defamation?

Keith should have taken the higher ground and not been such a jerk.

Easy to say not having a microphone shoved in your face after a bad loss. Perhaps he should have taken the higher road but I can honestly say always having to answer questions when you really don't want to, being asked stupid questions at that, I would likely say some pretty "mean" things as well.
Some people are just trying to make a mountain from a mole hill with this (some overweight slob just shown on a clip from some SN radio calling Keith a Neanderthal). What he said really was no worse than what a lot of other hockey interviews have yielded over the years and this is only a "story" because it was with a woman. Had he been as "rude" to a male reporter everyone would likely have had a laugh and forgot about it 10 seconds later.
I still think he should have just stared at her with a raised eyebrow, looking at her like she had literally just said the most ignorant, idiotic thing ever uttered in a hockey interview and not said a single word. Would have made for a great youtube clip.
