Maybe not. But considering how xenophobic white people get when people don't speak English around them, it's not that far-fetched.

ya I bet Jack Eichel, who by all accounts is a really good kid, is actually a xenophobic white person who is racist against *checking note cards* Swedish people

there's no other explanation

Checks out.

Isn't the idea of assuming foreigners are talking poo poo to be definitively xenophobic? Like it's straight up fear over what you don't understand.

Eichel probably meant it as a joke and it's fine, but it seems like one of those underlying things that's considered normal that probably shouldn't be.

Basically every guy who changed teams on a giant contract in July 2016 is looking like a huge boat anchor now:

Okposo: 7 years $6M per (2 pts in 10 games with Buffalo)
Backes: 5 years $6M per (dead now)
Lucic: 7 years $6M per (can't even score with McDavid setting him up)
Ladd: 7 years $5.5M per (31 points!)
Erikssson: 6 years $6M per (24 points!)
Nielsen: 6 years $5.25M (4 points in 13 games)
Boedker: 4 years $4M per (scratched in the playoffs)
Brouwer: 4 years $4.625M per (he's really bad)
Demers: 5 years $4.5M per (traded)

I can't wait for the amnesty buyouts that come with the 2021 lockout to be used on all these guys if they're still under contract.

I SUPPORT ALL THE PREDATORS
I've taught a lot of 'nice' college students who thought it was super okay to be lowkey racist/xenophobic about accents and non-English languages. Eichel could've been making a joke (a joke I've definitely heard inoffensively told by Red Wings throughout the years) but I don't think it's wild to suggest that there's an underlying factor, either. It could be both, even!

Yeah, but he's one of the best 4th line centers in the league.

That wasn't even what he said. He just said he doesn't understand his Swedish teammates when they yell in Swedish, and sometimes he wonders if they're talking about him.

Eichel's comment feels pretty harmless and more like a socially inept 21 year old.

Seguin's "We're in North America so you speak English." is the actual poo poo you should be talking.

Not defending Seguin, but Artem Anisimov sort of agreed with this, saying something like he got it because "In Russia, you'd be expected to speak Russian.".

quote:

"Just as if you went to Russia, you are not expected to speak English, you would need to learn Russian," Anisimov said. "It is the same here, where English is the language."

Either way:

Russia isnt exactly known as being a bastion of acceptance and tolerance so maybe using that as an example isnt a good idea.

Weirdly Reaves has as many points as Hagelin with 2...granted I'm not going to look, but assume his corsi is beyond through the basement (Reaves that is). Hags kinda has Tyler Kennedy syndrome which is unfortunate, but I don't think that's the problem with the Pens right now.

Tanner Glass Luca Sbisa Ryan Reaves?

Yeah it's Reaves. I'd rather have Hagelin for his speed and ability to put that to use even if he doesn't score, but when you've had blowouts like the Penguins I'm not too concerned. It's only November.

Rob Schremp wrote an article before the start of this season where he talked about how his career never really worked out for him. He recalled his time in the KHL and how players from North America were excluded by Russian teammates and how one teammate would yell in Russian at anyone who sat with them before another stood up for them and told them to shut up and be a team. Unsurprisingly they were terrible that year.
