[devinsberries]

Carolina, They're not even a real team! They don't count! HAHA

[DoorDiehockey]

BAKES PIES! Oh god I love him

[Damouis]

Markov has great aim... He didnt miss

[Terminus92]

Fuck Ference. I am not saying that cause I am a nucks fan, but I really hate this jackass.

[alwaysunnyariana]

@Terminus92 lol why the fuck are you even watching this?

[Terminus92]

@alwaysunnyariana Nice guy off the ice though. That's for sure.

[toxicnarcotic16]

This is what being a professional athlete is all about. 

[dangleman1]

arguing over the internet is like the special olympics, even if you win your still retarted.

[BieksaRaymondCanucks]

A class act... sure... like the time he fingered the Montreal Canadiens fans. Thats a class act right there.

[ryankuntz19]

@BieksaRaymondCanucks Oh, we have a crusty Canucks fan in the house. Go be bitter somewhere else fucktard.

[BieksaRaymondCanucks]

@ryankuntz19 Yeah buddy.

[Pfsif]

Carbon natural scam Bullshit.

[thecrazygene1]

You can't be a bruin and being classy at the same time , it's impossible.

[DrumBub07]

@thecrazygene1 haha, your just a sore loser!!! I love it!!! Your 2011 champs, chump.

[thecrazygene1]

@DrumBub07 sore loser? I never liked the bruins , even when they didn't win the cup. Not because they're an American team , but because they're classless.

[DrumBub07]

@thecrazygene1 :***( <-- You crying because classless people hurt your feelings, wah fuckin wah

[thecrazygene1]

@DrumBub07 My feelings? come over here and ill show you my feelings. But I'm not gonna cheap shot ur ass

[DrumBub07]

@thecrazygene1 hahah, nothing more pathetic than an internet tough guy, but seriously, I'd fuckin rip you a new one, go back to mama you pussy

[thecrazygene1]

@DrumBub07 LOL your channel says ur 110 , but eh why the fuck even bother talking to you , you're worthless bye

[DrumBub07]

@thecrazygene1 yawwwwwn, likewise, bye forever loser

[BieksaRaymondCanucks]

@thecrazygene1 lol, nice one!!!

[sjunor]

What a joke! Good idea in theory, but who do you buy carbon credits from? The Govt? Who gives them the right to 'sell carbon'. A better idea: Donate directly to a group that is building carbon free energy sources. The problem is the money gets filter through with all the bureaucracy. Donate $100, I bet $15 actually goes to building a wind power generator. The rest goes to lunches during 'meetings' and rental cars (big ol' SUVs) and fancy hotel rooms during conferences

[investinottawa]

David Suzuki is an asshole in real life, he wont give a fan the time of day for a handshake or a hello....yes i know celebs are busy but cmon man, when someone puts out a hand, dont ever decline....Suzuki......you're an asshole....Ference you rock!

[belair55zz56]

Ference is a dirty player.

[sunflowerpixie1]

@belair55zz56 No he's not. Get out of here.

[stevejmoffett]

@belair55zz56 i wouldnt say hes dirty. he does play rough and sometimes goes a bit too far (as many players will), but the thing i respect him for is he handles his business. one of my favourites #21 in black and gold.

[2girls1freak]

fuck montreal. quebec is not a part of canada IMO.

[hotchickfv]

@2girls1freak lol wut?

[Habaholicality]

@2girls1freak WHAT?! WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?!! GO TAKE A GEOGRAPHY CLASS AND LEARN YOUR PROVINCES/TERRITORIES!!!!!!!! QUEBEC IS A PROUD PROVINCE OF CANADA AND ALWAYS WILL BE (it will never be a country, unlike stupid Bloc Quebecois/Parti Quebecois want, UGH)

[2girls1freak]

@Habaholicality you don't get it... i'm saying we don't want you to be part of canada.

[BRUINSFAN393]

montreal fans deserve to be fliiped off since they cry about everything

[projectdurden]

Is this the guy that fingered everyone vs Montreal after he scored a goal? Wow, what a difference a few years makes.

[bruinsfan7685]

Good to see Adrew embrace the rivalry and flip off the Montreal fans!

[Jordan7986]

@bruinsfan7685  i hope the bruins win , they deserve it the most, they play with so much heart.

[hotchickfv]

@Jordan7986 So do the Habs...

[mitch77ell]

Dear Andrew,

I'm glad to see u doing so well, and I hope that u consider coming back to calgary next season.

Sincerely,

Every Flames fan alive

[ridethelightning64]

Haha I love how the top comments are crediting him with being, "Such a class act", after his, "Class act" the other day, fingering the camera on national TV haha.

[DerekHovinga]

You know a rivalry is intense, when a nice guy like this flips the bird at an entire opposing team's home crowd!

[stl4686]

I'd piss on a Habs fan too.. 

[killabuffalo]

I really really really hope that the Liberal party nabs this guy after he retires. He's a nice guy with great communication skills and a really likeable guy.

[MassLiberal1]

Glad to have him in Boston.

[nxthingpersonal]

"it's pretty sick."

omg, i love him.

[scotscar]

The best was hypocritical blowhard Don Cherry criticizing HNIC for having a profile on Ference's environmental activism because he felt that only hockey should be discussed on HNIC and not politics. He then goes on to use Coach's Corner as a pulpit for cheerleading the war. That's not politics eh Don? But of course the environment is a "leftie" issue so it can't be discussed but right-wing ideology can be propagated....what a hypocrite the man is.

[rianpop]

@scotscar Don cherry does not support the war he supports the troops. I have heard him say they should come home so shut your mouth

[severyn86]

ference is the man

[TrustYourOwnInstinct]

Huge LOL @ the pissing on the Habs fan !!  XD

[LewisD91]

i wish he still played for the flames :(

[10W7]

i wish you still had him too. everyone here hates him for fucking up the players assoc thing and then lying to his teammates

[Eisenheim99]

Are you talking in terms of the paul kelly situation??

[10W7]

yeah it really got ugly here. kellys very well liked in these parts and ference led the players who got rid of him. he's definitely fallen out of favor here

[Eisenheim99]

That's too bad, he seems like a great guy who is relatively well liked by his peers.

[vene777]

pure hatred. Best rivalry in the NHL by far because of all the playoffs meetings.

[scottieford]

He told me that pissing story when I had him in the tattoo chair! Hilarious !!! Can't wait to hear more stories when I finish his sleeve this summer!

[StrawberryBigMac]

mmmm i love him

[buttercupcake27]

i know how to ride a motorcylcle lol George ;)

[lorenzo9389]

I saw the guy piss on them too!!!!!!!! it was amazing too bad he got arrested

[maadiiiexoh]

i love him. he is mine.

[meninwhite123]

lol hes sorta married to my sister.

[Eisenheim99]

"What level do you have to get to decide that this is it?" LOL

[garycalgary]

overpaid hockey players don't give 2 shits about climate change. They fly probably more than anyone else.

Why in the hell would they care after makin millions, kicking the shit out of other people being idolized and making gobs of money

snicker - good luck

[UsedandAbused027]

He is sooo HOT!!!

I hope he is gay . . . .

[crazyperson3245]

lol

[meding123]

meding reuinion 2010.. better show andy

[AGP12345]

Ference is the man, such a class act. I'd love to meet him.

[hatealldayhabit]

@AGP12345 hes a class dude ein? hes a fucking douchebag

[AGP12345]

@hatealldayhabit Awwwwwwwwww, did someone get offended by a middle finger? Get out of here. When you boo a country's national anthem, you have no right to talk about class.

[hatealldayhabit]

@AGP12345 bruins faggots fans boo'ed our country's national anthem too u queer

[AGP12345]

@hatealldayhabit Haha bro. Check out the videos on youtube. We do nothing but cheer your anthem in response to you booing ours. You sound angry. Go call 911.

[sunflowerpixie1]

@hatealldayhabit The Bruins never booed Oh Canada, we sing along to it, moron.

[blatreille86]

@AGP12345 I know you commented 2 years ago, but I don't think hes much of a class act anymore after giving the finger after a goal.

[AGP12345]

@blatreille86 The guy is a tree hugger off the ice. I'm sure he was just telling the canadiens fans that they should recycle more.

[TheGammajamma]

@AGP12345 Lol its funny reading this comment

[Habaholicality]

@AGP12345 Class act? He gives fans the middle finger!

[ddboris]

@AGP12345 ,the finger incident was classy? Ference is a bum an dont deserve his name on Stanley!

[DrumBub07]

@ddboris another hater, music to Bruins fans ears, keep it up loser!

[DrumBub07]

haha, and also, cry me a river,"Oh NOOOO, a middle finger to the froggies!!! CALL THE COPS!!!"

[ddboris]

@DrumBub07 ,hockey history lesson 101.The Bruins' Hal Laycoe, high-sticked Richard in the head during a Montreal power play,when the play ended, Richard skated up to Laycoe,and struck him in the face,the linesmen attempted to restrain Richard,while Lacoe was punching Richard on the face,Richard broke loose broke his stick on lacoe and punched Thompson, knocking him unconscious,after the game, the Boston cops tried to arrest him but was stop by the whole team...so fucktard who call the cops ?

[ddboris]

[DrumBub07]

@ddboris bla bla bla bla, thanks for that awesome ficitonal story

[ddboris]

@DrumBub07 ,do your own research fucktard, it happen on March 13th 1955, and btw ,good for Boston for their 6th cup in 78 years....39 years whitout Stanley ,would NEVER happen in Montréal.and please stop that froggies thing, we dont get insulted with that,we even laugh about it---> watch?v=197q4P2ud3U

[Yamer17]

I can't believe the Flames gave him up for (basically) Brad Stuart. Andrew is such a consistant defender, and a humanitarian. I would take Ference over every current Flame defender except Regehr. Phanuef has a lot of upside, but right now he is extremely over-rated.

[Rich0591]

I can't give you a thumbs up or thumbs down because I agree and disagree lol.

[pgwphoto]

Glad to see him doing well. I'm going WAY back but I knew Andrew from his AHL days in Wilkes-Barre/Scranton.

[GeorgeCdn4]

amazing interview!!!

where can i get a t-shirt like that?

Go Bruins Go

[whelanfan1]

global warming is real you douchebags, isn't it obvious to you, can't you feel the changing of the seasons? think back 10 years, i bet that no matter where you live, your climate is much different than it used to be. climate change, ie. each year the planet will warm by very small degrees, slowly melting the poles until the displaced water(from the polar icecaps) cools the planet..etc. ever heard of an iceage?

[onestepback]

I sit next to his dad at the Oilers games.

[makepeacenotwar0505]

Its incredible to see people in the sport profession truly take on a passion like the environment. I come from a town that is said to produce a lot of players, and I hope that they can follow his lead and make a difference.

[Iginla12010]

The thing is, most people who do give back are hockey players, who have the least attention from the USA of all strictly North American leagues.

It would be great if there were less airheads in leagues like the NBA, MLB and the NFL, and more guys like Ference and Iginla (who fiscally supports, and is actively involved with, many charities and foundations, like Kidsport, Diabetes and his own hockey school), among others, who give back.

[BoSoxnation1972]

@Iginla12010 It's simple logic if you break it down. MLB is full of so many people, from different countries:Japan, The Dominican Republic, Venezuela, Cuba, and other countries that are non english speaking.

The NFL is mostly kids from the hood who wouldnt have graduated high school without preferential treatment. They are boarderline retarded!

The NBA is full of the dumbest athletes in the country!

Hockey is full of, for lack of a better term, educated white people. It's the truth!

[ClassicRockMitch]

i saw this on tv

[sy1234]

> i saw this on tv

I saw this on the internet

[LaDitsterNo1]

I saw the podcast

[AvEnGeD7FoLd9]

Ference is awesome!

I remember he played in Calgary!

Still a Fan of him!

[TheWeatherMan2012]

Tree huggers rule ;o)

One Love

[stevenaudet]

Hahaha! I'm Canadian and a huge Bruins fan and if somebody would sit down during our Canadian anthem, I'd want to pee on him too. People in Boston would never sit down during our anthem! You can hate the team, but the least you can do is having respect for the people.

Go Go Black N' Gold!!!

[GeorgeCdn4]

exactly......

[firstlk420]

carbon tax carbon tax carbon tax carbon tax...... More taxes more taxes more taxes more taxes more taxes more taxes.... Makes you feel good makes other people rich makes you feel good makes other people rich...... Global warming is used to make money. Educate yourselves.

[Joeweed68]

an inconvenient tax. i'm not saying don't take care of our environment, but it is not carbon dioxide. tax us for breathing why don't you.

[canadianmaple09]

Wow, glad I'm not a Bruins fan. I'd be disgraced to learn that one of my fellow fans urinated on another fan. I don't care who you're team is playing, that is absolutely disgusting and completely unacceptable.

[GeorgeCdn4]

dyck wad...did u not pay attention...stand up for both anthems and u won't get pissed on..i'm as Canadian as possible with a huge tattoo on my back proving it...and i'd piss on a habs fan any day for showing disrespect like that...

Go Bruins Go

[Iginla12010]

I REALLY have to agree. There's a certain line you cross at that point. You want to be on the passionate side, but when you don't have the respect to stand up for an anthem, that's just low.

That guy might end up with #2 on his head if he's not too careful. :P

[jchiapet]

it's great that he's doing what he's doing, but it's sad that most hockey players, or professional athletes for that matter, aren't as dedicated off the ice as they are on it. it makes for boring personalities frankly and thankfully ference isn't one of those.
