Wade Redden is Probably Homosexual

Last night, post-lockout disappointment Wade Redden got into 2 fights against the Leafs - first against Kris Newbury, and second against Bates Battaglia. As a result, Redden is now the league leader in fights. He's also the league leader in post-game hotel room homoeroticism, and picture evidence below supports it. That's Wade on the right.

I am taking issue with Redden today because, in true sack of shit form, he kept his helmet on - with fucking visor - during both fights. Any man that keeps a visored helmet on during a fight is a coward. It's gutlessness at its worst - if you're fired up enough to throw punches, don't make the other fighter risk breaking or cutting his hand on your visor. Take it off, duke it out, then cool off in the box. Real men have been following this template since the league began.

Fight #1
Darcy Tucker lays a clean hit on Mike Fisher, Redden comes from behind Tucker to give him a nice cheapshot facewash, and a melee ensues. Newbury pairs off with Redden because there are 4 Sens in the scrum and only 2 Leafs. Redden is man enough to drop the gloves, but not nearly man enough to take off his visor for the fight. Here's the video evidence:



Fight #2 - My Personal Favourite
Leafs rush in, Fisher hits Devereaux to the ice. A few players creep in for a little argey bargey. It's hard to tell from the grainy video, but Battaglia shoves Fisher just as Devereaux gets up to take Fisher down. Redden - who is standing right there - punches Battaglia in the face, and both men immediately drop their gloves but keep the helmets on. A few punches are thrown, and Redden actually got the better of Battaglia during the fight. That is, until they are broken up by the linesmen and Redden's forehead shows a nice new bloody cut. At this point, Wade discovers what happens when you are punched in the visor; it will knock the helmet back onto your head until the strap prevents it from going any farther, then dig into your head usually causing a cut. Good on ya, Wade, you fucking deserve it.



Methinks Don Cherry will have something to say about the coward that is Wade Redden on Saturday night. Like Cherry or hate him, the man has always been a proponent of fair fighting (even if he can't spell or pronounce any of those words) and what Redden did last night was despicable.

Go fuck yourself, Wade. You're a disgrace.
