from the Vancouver Province,
Weight’s take, a common one, is that trash-talking is down—except for one saucy segment.
“I’m sure it’s a cyclical phase,” says Weight. “But there’s definitely a crop of guys that have come in in the last five years . . . and they want to disrupt you from the first drop of the puck. Not just physically—by hitting you late or throwing their stick around—but they’re going to go by your bench and talk. They’re going to talk after whistles. They’re going to try to be as disruptive as they can verbally. Whatever.
“It’s almost like when your kids are being disruptive, you can tune them out.”
