I’m just imagining all of them saying random petty insults in a high British accent and then getting sent to the penalty box to drink tea and eat biscuits for 10 mins 😂
Derogatory term is classifying this to the extreme for sure. Most guys in competitive sports would find it funny afterwords and joke about it later in the handshake line. I'd say it's meant to be a funny insult if anything and meant to disengage the ridiculousness of the conflict.
@@GP8201 Derogatory is just a word, it just means disparaging or insulting, expressing a low opinion. Joking or not, the term is still derogatory in this context.
For the NHL too, Marchand literally says in an interview he goes out in the playoffs intending to injury people and the league has nothing to say about it.
Why didn't other bro get suspended for threatening bodily harm? It'd be like someone going around elbowing players in the backs of their heads and the guy who has to be stretchered off taking a flopping penalty...
to be fair, the OHL is juniors so a game misconduct i mean still shoudnt have that but we can care BUT 5 GAMES? thats worse than crosschck to a head bruh
@@microwavesgommmmmmmWho exactly did you think made these kind of rules and penalties? I get you hate seeing politics in the game but let's put the blame where it belongs.
bro glad im a 90's baby eveything is so soft and dumb down its sad.....things from my childhood are either banned or to harsh for kids nowadays LOOOOL even some books 😂😂😂😂
Remember the other player involved is Braden Hache (Captain of the Saginaw Spirit) whose DADDY is Director of Officiating for the OHL - and who was at the game that night. Most if not All other players are NOT going to go tattling to the Refs if this was said to them on the ice. I would be embarrassed to have him as my Captain. My biggest issue with this scenario is Braden got nothing for Threatening Bodily Harm - a Crime in the real world. If nothing else his part in the interaction should have been taken into account and lessened the Suspension on SIM.
So bro got suspended for saying a bad word, but the guy who threatened to injure him long term got absolutely nothing? That's like being bullied in school and ending up being the one in the principles office cause you called him a bitch 😂
Pusillanimity - lack of courage or determination, timid. From the Latin - Pusillus and animus. I would contend that this is the root of the offending word, not anatomy.
I always heard/thought it came from pusillanimous that also means the same thing but I don't think there is conclusive proof of that and yeah the way we use the work now has evolved. Very stupid to suspend a dude over language and not the other dude over a threat though.
i can't believe everyone is obsessing over other factors, but not this in the first place. 1) A criminal act - a threat/intimidation of violence is issued. 2) Neither comment was recorded or proven, it was a suspension issued off of hearsay. And the respondent who was just threatened with violence and intent to injure, in that state, responded by calling them a term intended to refer to the person as a coward, despite the word's negative connotations towards a separate demographic. I'm going to ignore these extremely stupid comments about racial slurs and other stupid shit, and keep it simple.
Policing language in a sport this intense? Weak and sad. Any ref I’ve ever played with would just say “you’re ratting the guy? Yeah, you are one!” And that’s how it should be
Eh, I think it's reasonable to have limits - slurs cross a line. But if someone wouldn't get five games for calling someone a dick, they shouldn't get five games for calling someone a pussy (which isn't really a slur)
@@Alex-js5lg You obviously need to have limits so that the dirty hits don't start flying, but drawing the line at pussy is a total bitch move by the entire league. I do agree that slurs are where the line needs to be, whether it's aimed at race, religion, or orientation, that's the kind of shit that is going to cause dirty retaliation hits and revenge hits for those hits, etc.
We're more concerned with minor insults then protecting players from career threatening injuries. The policing of language is absolutely insane these days, the fact it's making it's way into sports is nuts.
It's not about policing language. It's caring about the optics of something more than the substance and acting like a clown as a result. Threatening violence is literally policed language. That's what misdemeanor assault is. If the goal is policing language, that would be included.
I'm a hockey referee, and I have been for 10 years. It is really frustrating when leagues are more interested in enforcing rules against trash talk than they are interested in enforcing rules about truly dangerous plays, such as head-shots and checking from behind.
On top of this, I’m pretty sure the defenseman was Brandon Hache, who’s dad is the head of OHL officiating. This bias was seen throughout the whole series as through 5 games the penalties taken were 26 for London to 10 for Saginaw. Insanely corrupt.
How many penalties did london take in game 5? London had a whole penalty box full of their players late in game 5 due to their cheap shot tactics including bonk and dickinson. they targeted parekh all series. corrupt, no just typical london cheap shot tactics. And bias? hache was already suspended earlier in playoffs. He had every right to stick up for his team amidst london cheap shot tactics.
@@stevenbauer4799 never said they were clean but let’s not act like Saginaw is some victim, they throw their cheap shots too. London did deserve more penalties but not 26-10
@@john-colepastor8796well they have one perhaps two more games coming up to settle things for good. btw they went after donicio all series as well in an attempt to draw penalties out of him knowing he has a lot of pim's. even windsor fans watching noted that one.
Braden Haché is the player who ran to the ref about what Landon Sim said. Braden Haché's dad also happens to be the Director of Officiating in the OHL. Throughout the playoffs, Sagniaw had a few calls go their way that the OHL had to come out about later and say were missed. There was a missed goal in the Sagniaw vs Soo series that was missed as well as a crosscheck to the back of a Soo players head that the OHL came out and said should have been a major.
I am a London Knights season ticket holder, Sims suspension is over. He was suspended for game 6 against Saginaw and the 4 games against Oshawa. Plus I too think it was a ridiculous suspension.
Been a London Knights season ticket holder with my dad for over 20 years since I was like 5 years old. Love to see the coverage of my home town on this channel. The game in question was an absolute joke. We lost another player for 5 games in the same game. both suspensions ended on the last game versus Oshawa so they missed the entire finals series but are both eligible for the Memorial cup. Also of note, the director of officiating for the OHL is the father of one of the Saginaw Spirit players. Bit of a coincidence that the officiating in the Saginaw series was so lopsided. If anyone is a pussy, it's the league and it's officiating.
hache was suspended two games earlier by those same ohl officials so bias is london b s. Lopsided officiating? London penalty box was full of london players late in gm. 5 loss thanks to cheap shot tactics and questionable hits by bonk, dickinson. Lawrence who was suspended too. hache had every right to stick up for his teammates amidst the cheap shot tactics. this after london targeted parekh all series with questionable hits. You holier than thou london fans are so full of b s. London cheap shot tactics are well known coached by a scum bag well known for the biggest cheap shot in nhl playoff history. even windsor fans watching west final noted how london was targeting donicio to try and draw penalties. They know the history.
@@stevenbauer4799 Do you just copy and paste this response to every London fan? You also clearly don't know what you are talking about if you think that Bonk and Dickinson are the guys with questionable hits and cheap shots. Aha. I was at the game this video was talking about and it was probably the most egregious one-sided officiating I've seen in my 20+ years at the Garden. Interesting how the officiating went back to being completely normal after we finished dismantling Saginaw.

Game 3 you guys were on your heels all game. Oh well one maybe two games left to decide things. Who are knights gonna target next time? I guess the game plan was to take parekh off pp knowing spirit would be getting plenty of them. 20 years? well i was at the game hunter pulled his goalie late in a 4-0 game just to try and break up a shut out. And 20 years? That means you missed hunter double shift corey perry in a 12-0 route just to pad his stats to win a scoring title. At least i laughed when knights became first mem. cup team to go 0-3. Or when guelph completed the 0-3 comeback to beat london to which the poor sports wouldn't even shake hands after series. Good times. I know the story-london choirboys never deserve their suspensions. Typical response from the ohl's most hated and obnoxious fanbase. And petitte is the most biased reporter out there. His anti u s spirit sentiment is well known. I hope he enjoys spirit in mem. cup after all the bashing he's done over the years. At least the other london guy i cut and pasted to admitted most of those london penalties were deserved so i don't know what game you were watching.
The guy at fault ratting to the official and actually getting the dude suspended. This kinda sums up officiating in hockey right now as a whole...it's fuckin terrible
Not only that but the ref didn't even hear him say it. You have now set the precedent for ANY player to go to the ref and say "Hey he said something bad" and get ANY other player suspended. The rule should be the ref has to hear it.
Son of OHL Director of Officiating commits a crime: ignored. Guy uses a mean word in response to threat by OHL Director of Officiating’s son: game misconduct and non-appealable 5 game suspension.
The guy said "I'm gonna break your shoulder" and he's not suspended for that??? Who was that defenseman?? A person that spits out threats like that could be dangerous in the NHL.
Me who watched Slap Shot and would always reference the scene where Dunlop was chirping at the goalie. Man, my old Bantam team would all be suspended 💀
It's almost like something happened a few years ago in Jr. Hockey in London that has made the OHL hypersensitive on certain issues. Nothin' like closing the barn door after the horse got out, boys. You'll get it right one day... quite by accident, I'm sure....
That’s such horse crap. Hope London endures this garbage call, and take the Memorial Cup this year. The Hunter brothers are absolute legends for bringing this team out of the dumpster and into contenders each and every year. Their hand in bringing that new arena into the downtown area was essential.
If he said some racist or derogatory slur (N word, Brit word for cigarette or somethign like that), then i could understand it a little, but he just said ''Pussy''. If that warrants a suspension, then there wouldnt be any players left
@@matthewbarry7026 That has nothing to do with this story, and "those days" that you talk about have never existed. Gender identity has always differed from sex.
@@mattjek828 In no way do trans / non-binary people "dictate things for the majority" nor are they asking for that. They just want to exist without ongoing discrimination and violence. No one is forcing you to change your own identity. Just to treat people with basic human decency.
In Nova Scotia, new minor hockey rules on words like this have to HEARD by the refs. I know multiple people including myself who have received penalties for this exact word, and have told refs players saying racial or homophobic slurs, when not heard by refs. I myself have been suspended because a times keeper told a ref I called someone pussy. I find refs and league are just looking for players to rat on others.
Man threatens to break someone’s shoulder: nothing happens. Man calls him out on it: man is suspended. Please make that make sense for me bcs I’m struggling
I guarantee the people making the decision to suspend him have used that word on countless occasions in the same way. It's part of the English language and is in every hockey player, hell even most Canadian citizens vocabulary
There's no way the league's appeal process doesn't change now. He shouldn't have been suspended, there's no real argument to say that the player intended to bully or harass the player on the basis of identity. And because it's less than 10, he can't argue against it.
The OHL went from one extreme to another, from being very lenient on criminal things like sexual abuse to suspending a player multiple games for saying a mild insult in response to another player threatening to injure him. We live in a weird messed-up era of human history.
In my opinion, Saginaw was looking for any leverage to help them beat the Knights who won the Division title over Saginaw in the regular season, because Saginaw is the host team this year for the Memorial cup. The fact that Hache father was the head of the officials is biased as well... to bad The Knights are the better TEAM overall ❤
The leadership in hockey culture is a total mess. One player makes a credible threat to injury him, and there is no punishment, but he says a bad word and gets the book thrown at him. This is something I feel needs to be addressed since the whole Brad Marchand recent comments. It should be totally unacceptable to think about deliberately injuring an opponent. If you can't beat your opponent within the rules, it means you are bad at hockey and should lose, it doesn't mean you should injury them so you can win easier. In my opinion, Brad Marchand should get a 6 month suspension for saying what he did, it totally obliterates the spirit of the game, and it's a huge shame that so many people actually agree with him regarding the playoffs.
It doesn't matter. London will win the Memorial Cup. Landon Sim will get a nice ring. The other guy will go home and cry about it all summer. That's real justice for you!
"Does hockey have an issue with hate and bigotry, yeah *sometimes*" Fan of the channel but this was not it. NHL is the only major sport that folded immediately to pressure and put a pause on pride and the fanbase responded with... nothing. No one seems to be embarrassed. The sport has a problem with hate that isn't casual or some of the time. Not trying to pick on Eck, but I think a lot of people seem to have blindspot to the significance of what happened this past season and I wish more people were talking about it, so here I am. I've been watching this sport for 30 years and if they don't correct this for the upcoming season I'm stepping away. And thankfully my kids are young enough that I can just point them towards other sports that don't acquiesce to the the worst base level instincts of their fanbases. One more thing to anyone out there who really cares about this sport: Forget for a moment if you think pride is political or not (it's not). The sport itself will suffer. Gen Z isn't going to be interested in a sport that is green-lighting homophobia. The future is not looking good for this game.
We're talking about teenagers playing hockey. Using the "P" word is common vernacular as an insult between both friends and rivals and isn't meant as a derogatory term (such as the "N" word or the "F" word - the "F" word I'm referring to being derogatory towards homosexuals.) I think the league went way too overboard on this one.
What did he say that is even slightly controversial? If calling someone a pussy is not allowed, there wouldn't be a single hockey player left in any level, even girls hockey.
0:33 So the player that threatened to break another man's shoulder gets away with it but the guy that might have offended a woman in theory gets suspended.....
It's even dumber that he got suspended because the guy ratted him out to the official. No ref on the ice heard what he said. They weren't going to call a penalty until the whiner (who started it by the threat) opened his toothless yap.
Justin/Eck first this isnt the video I wanted on the CHL ...lol The OHL is a little brain dead at the top and this helps prove it. Now that said am a huge fan of Junior Hockey and especially my London KNIGHTS, in 2014(London) I went to five games
I'd heard about this months ago and it's worse than I thought. What they did to Sims is going to happen all round the hockey world. If someone used a truly horrible word not a random insult I could see this, but no. We've seen NHL players penalized for ridiculous reasons, even suspended. At college games recently in town the teams have been scared of what may happen on the ice surface to them. It's just sad and infuriating. Players are humans too- remember that, but this is the 21st Century where everything goes wrong- for everybody.

That’s such horse crap. Hope London endures this garbage call, and take the Memorial Cup this year. The Hunter brothers are absolute legends for bringing this team out of the dumpster and into contenders each and every year. Their hand in bringing that new arena into the downtown area was essential.
Glad to see some CHL coverage here, especially with the Memorial Cup on the way.
Go KNIGHTS GO !!!
If he said some racist or derogatory slur (N word, Brit word for cigarette or somethign like that), then i could understand it a little, but he just said ''Pussy''. If that warrants a suspension, then there wouldnt be any players left
British word for cigarette is Fag.
All I can say is I miss the days when men and woman were two different things.
@@matthewbarry7026 That has nothing to do with this story, and "those days" that you talk about have never existed. Gender identity has always differed from sex.
@@am34wrong, there was once a time when a sliver of society with wacko views did not dictate things for the majority.
@@mattjek828 In no way do trans / non-binary people "dictate things for the majority" nor are they asking for that. They just want to exist without ongoing discrimination and violence. No one is forcing you to change your own identity. Just to treat people with basic human decency.
This just in: OHL rebrands to “Little Good Boys League” they’re going to have grandma and grandpa reffing
Probably the opposite, Gramps would bring back the 70's.
Didnt expect this sophisticated a take on a hockey highlights channel. Well done.
That just reflects Canada and free speech laws
This explains why my mom has been wearing stripes around the house lately and practicing her skating. Guess she got a second job!
One point you didn't touch, that guy threatened to injure a player and the guy calling him a pussy gets punished. That's like a South Park episode.
Nobody talking about the fact someone actually ratted for that???
Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will also hurt me
In Nova Scotia, new minor hockey rules on words like this have to HEARD by the refs. I know multiple people including myself who have received penalties for this exact word, and have told refs players saying racial or homophobic slurs, when not heard by refs. I myself have been suspended because a times keeper told a ref I called someone pussy. I find refs and league are just looking for players to rat on others.
Bro my teammate got called that IN MINOR HOCKEY and nothing happened😂
Man threatens to break someone’s shoulder: nothing happens. Man calls him out on it: man is suspended. Please make that make sense for me bcs I’m struggling
It's Canada, what do you expect? I'm shocked rainbow tape hasn't been made mandatory at this point 😂
BRO that is the most ridiculous suspension. OHL emphasis on the L
ive used it, still use it, and will continue to use it
Someone in the OHL should go watch some of the NHL trash talking videos.
They'd shit their pants.
One threatens to harm another player in the same spot he is injured, Other guy says a bad word but that's the line 💀
He was proven right, that Dman's surname needs to become the new OHL slang for the meany-meany-P word.
This is like swearing in middle school and you get sent to the office
I find myself rooting for the Knights now after that.
Why are almost all the series 4-0 or 4-1? As an American that doesn't watch it, it seems kinda crazy.
LOL PEOPLE ACTING LIKE HE SAID THE N WORD OR SOMETHING, HOCKEY AND THE ENTIRE WORLD IS GOING SOFT!!!!
Even then, why should anyone care? Are you gonna pretend to be offended or pretend that ⚫ people get offended?
But your honour, I only posted a single letter of the alphabet in the replies. It’s not up to me what letters other people wrote after it 🤷🏻♂️
N
What's wrong with the 'n' word?? Pull up a dictionary and at least 2 definitions have nothing to do with race.
@@ClarenceJBoddicker1987Be real. Slurs dont belong in the game. none of them
I guarantee the people making the decision to suspend him have used that word on countless occasions in the same way. It's part of the English language and is in every hockey player, hell even most Canadian citizens vocabulary
Canadian moment
Threatening someone like that then tattling on them for clapping back is so cowardly
Wow what a fucking joke indeed
There's no way the league's appeal process doesn't change now. He shouldn't have been suspended, there's no real argument to say that the player intended to bully or harass the player on the basis of identity. And because it's less than 10, he can't argue against it.
The OHL went from one extreme to another, from being very lenient on criminal things like sexual abuse to suspending a player multiple games for saying a mild insult in response to another player threatening to injure him.
We live in a weird messed-up era of human history.
As a law student hearing the word "administrative law" just gave me a gigantic jumpscare so thanks for that.
In my opinion, Saginaw was looking for any leverage to help them beat the Knights who won the Division title over Saginaw in the regular season, because Saginaw is the host team this year for the Memorial cup. The fact that Hache father was the head of the officials is biased as well... to bad The Knights are the better TEAM overall ❤
The leadership in hockey culture is a total mess. One player makes a credible threat to injury him, and there is no punishment, but he says a bad word and gets the book thrown at him. This is something I feel needs to be addressed since the whole Brad Marchand recent comments. It should be totally unacceptable to think about deliberately injuring an opponent. If you can't beat your opponent within the rules, it means you are bad at hockey and should lose, it doesn't mean you should injury them so you can win easier. In my opinion, Brad Marchand should get a 6 month suspension for saying what he did, it totally obliterates the spirit of the game, and it's a huge shame that so many people actually agree with him regarding the playoffs.
"Ratted to the referee"
So Landon's assessment was correct, then.
Apparently the player that ratted on Sims was Braden Haché. Captain of the Saginaw Spirit.
It doesn't matter. London will win the Memorial Cup. Landon Sim will get a nice ring. The other guy will go home and cry about it all summer. That's real justice for you!
That is pretty funny. I had an image of mcdavid going in the penalty box for swearing
An oddly enough, proved him correct once the guy went crying to the refs.
"Does hockey have an issue with hate and bigotry, yeah *sometimes*" Fan of the channel but this was not it. NHL is the only major sport that folded immediately to pressure and put a pause on pride and the fanbase responded with... nothing. No one seems to be embarrassed. The sport has a problem with hate that isn't casual or some of the time. Not trying to pick on Eck, but I think a lot of people seem to have blindspot to the significance of what happened this past season and I wish more people were talking about it, so here I am.
I've been watching this sport for 30 years and if they don't correct this for the upcoming season I'm stepping away. And thankfully my kids are young enough that I can just point them towards other sports that don't acquiesce to the the worst base level instincts of their fanbases.
One more thing to anyone out there who really cares about this sport: Forget for a moment if you think pride is political or not (it's not). The sport itself will suffer. Gen Z isn't going to be interested in a sport that is green-lighting homophobia. The future is not looking good for this game.
Thats crazy, it not even that bad, 5 games is unbelievable
We're talking about teenagers playing hockey. Using the "P" word is common vernacular as an insult between both friends and rivals and isn't meant as a derogatory term (such as the "N" word or the "F" word - the "F" word I'm referring to being derogatory towards homosexuals.) I think the league went way too overboard on this one.
Careful, Eck. You’re gonna get suspended by the OHL for this video.
OHL 🤝 Overwatch
Banned for cursing
What did he say that is even slightly controversial? If calling someone a pussy is not allowed, there wouldn't be a single hockey player left in any level, even girls hockey.
0:33 So the player that threatened to break another man's shoulder gets away with it but the guy that might have offended a woman in theory gets suspended.....
Yep that is some "pussy" shit
It's even dumber that he got suspended because the guy ratted him out to the official. No ref on the ice heard what he said. They weren't going to call a penalty until the whiner (who started it by the threat) opened his toothless yap.
Ahh yes. Welcome to Canada!
Justin/Eck first this isnt the video I wanted on the CHL ...lol The OHL is a little brain dead at the top and this helps prove it. Now that said am a huge fan of Junior Hockey and especially my London KNIGHTS, in 2014(London) I went to five games
I'd heard about this months ago and it's worse than I thought. What they did to Sims is going to happen all round the hockey world. If someone used a truly horrible word not a random insult I could see this, but no. We've seen NHL players penalized for ridiculous reasons, even suspended. At college games recently in town the teams have been scared of what may happen on the ice surface to them. It's just sad and infuriating. Players are humans too- remember that, but this is the 21st Century where everything goes wrong- for everybody.
