Good game. I have been hard on Elliott but he made some big stops on the penalty kill tonight. Hope we can continue to beat up on these bottom feeders over the next few games.

Yes they did.

But that was a wholly offensive graphic. Yes, graphics of those sorts are allowed to exist, but I hope they violate the community standards established by the proprietors of this website.

And I supposed that's an ancient Hindu eagle with wings stretched out helmet as well?

That's great! - some people find the symbolism offensive no matter the context.

Agreed. Just saying it wasn't used as a Hindu symbol.

Some things started off with good intentions and then were made very, very, very bad. Swastikas and celebrating a hockey victory have nothing to do with each other, no matter the historical beginnings.

Plus it's just a stupid gif all together without the blatant display of Nazi Germany. Defending it just makes you look stupid.

It was inappropriate. And below the standards of this website.

Yeah. Poor him, Chiasson, Ferland, Hathaway and Bouma. Let's burn a candle for all those poor boo boos.

This is one of those "I did not expect this thread to go this way" threads. They seem to occur at this time of year...

So Google proves it's a symbol of Nazi Germany. Point made. It's offensive and wrong and has no place in a hockey forum like this as a "celebratory" image posted by a turncoat fair weather fan.

Assuming the NHL.com stats are correct, the Flames are top 10 in GF now.

Flames win, but arguing about Nazis are more important apparently.

It was inappropriate. There's a lot of other inappropriate posts that get called out.

Flames are 19-16-2 now. Technically in a playoff spot.
