Trash-Talking Etiquette

Trash-talkers shoot from the mouth

“You want to be careful you don’t cross the line,” said Vancouver Canucks defenceman Kevin Bieksa. “You don’t want to get too personal. There’s definitely a code in my mind. Some go over that line and start getting personal with guys’ families and personal life, but they usually hear about it if they do. If you keep it in context of the game and what you see out there it’s all in good fun and part of the game.”
