Easy Ryder Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 of course there are gay NHLers, but there just aren't any openly gay NHLers. Cannot name them but there was some with the Oilers, the Maple and the Rags in the 80, some of them were traded to the Nordiques and moved to the AVs after that. But hockey players are good actors, usually they have a good family with a blond bomshell crying with their kids at their jerseys retirement.

That would fit in with 3 of those teams as he played for the Oilers, Leafs and Rangers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Habsfan Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 Glen Anderson has been rumoured to be gay for years.

The Chicoutimi Cucumber Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 Anderson is pretty much universally acknowledged to be gay. Similar rumours followed Stephane Richer around, but who knows? And who cares, really? More intriguing, as far as this goes, is the intensely repressed homo-eroticism of sport in general and hockey in particular - from the bizarre hazing rituals Juniors face to the endless 'macho' ass-fondling. The ways of the psyche are mysterious indeed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the guy could help us win, it was the least of my concerns. The first guy that does come out will be a legend in the gay community. Times are changing and I would bet it happens sooner rather than later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ways of the psyche are mysterious indeed The thing about the homo-eroticism is that it isn't intensely repressed, the hazing and the constant ass-slappage are out for all to see (well not so much the hazing, but we're talking about this homo-erotic behaviour because practically all athletes do it). It's strange how a group of competitive males, when kept together and made to bond as a team, will behave in this way. Perhaps the omnipresence of sex and sexuality in our psyche makes it natural for men to extend it to an athletic and competitive environment like pro-sports. Psychologists probably have many theories to explain this. This thread could really get derailed... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alright, I'm done. I read in the Globe and Mail today that Hossa had already turned down a 4 year 28 million dollar contract, so that puts our hopes of signing him for 3-4 years to rest. He's going to do no different than other guys in his situation, go for the maximum amount of money he can command, probably 7 years 50 million or something like that.

He's going to do no different than other guys in his situation, go for the maximum amount of money he can command, probably 7 years 50 million or something like that. I was all over going after Hossa until Vinny teased me with how it would be great to raise the Cup in Montreal line. Here is what Kozed posted Since we're playing the Bolts, just thought I'd throw this out there: http://www.corussports.com/canadiens/gaine...212-720742.html Lecavalier is saying Gainey will have an easier time signing UFAs now that the team is performing well... and that he (Lecavalier) would find it "magic to win in Montreal". Lecavalier's current contract ends in the summer 2009... THen I didn't want to commit to the ok chick, when the hot chick is thinking about it. Sad, we could get left with nothing, but one can dream. I would now rather Gainey shore up the D and try to win a Jersey style Cup and wait until we are on the cusp to make a splash. I think losing my mind temporarily after the Ottawa game was the best thing for me, now that I realize that the only way it happens this year is with Hu-ET standing on his head, or Price etching his name in Canadien lore.

If the Bolts sign Boyle they will be pretty strapped. They don't have any impact youth on the way, we pray they suck next year and he won't commit and they offer him up at the deadline.

Yeah, I definitely agree with that. This summer might not be the right time to go after a big UFA, first of all we should focus on keeping the important guys we have. With our current top 3 and the young guys we have coming up in our system, I think the D is looking good at this point and for the next few years. Our young forwards are still improving, and it's too early to really evaluate most of them yet. It doesn't look like there will be many perfect UFAs to go after this summer anyway, so I have no problem if we sit tight and maybe just add a player or two to fill small holes. When we know where we are, we can go after a big name to push us into the elite of the league. Plus, if we have a good young team at that time, guys will be more inclined to sign with us.
