Barch, in a fight that probably didn't start with getting called "honky"My immediate thought was, "I thought Krys Barch was a Dallas Star."
Sure enough, the Stars traded him (and a sixth-round pick) Dec. 7 to Florida for some dude named Jake Hauswirth (and a fifth-round pick).
Well, screw me. That's what I get for not keeping up with Stars roster moves. I just assumed he was in the minors or hurt, like three-quarters of the rest of the Stars.
I read the story and apparently Barch had a few choice words for the Montreal Canadiens' P.K. Subban, whose parents are of "Jamaican descent." Subban is black, is what media is trying to say. Nobody knows, or is saying, what Barch said. Subban didn't "hear" it or he's not admitting it just waiting for the next fiery rivalry game versus the Panthers of Florida and the Canadiens of Montreal when he could knock Barch's head off.
Barch is kind of a dick. Always a hot-head and quick to throw the gloves. A racist? Maybe or maybe not. He clearly said something because one of the linesmen heard it and ejected him. I assume you can call an opponent just about everything in the book on the ice except for dragging in one's race or ethnicity. Hell, maybe this happens all the time and it's either ignored or never heard by an official. Maybe the official knew that Barch was probably about to have a hockey stick jammed in his ear.
The other surprise stemming from the incident is that Barch is 31 years old. 31!!! I could have sworn he was 25 or 26. No wonder the Stars were willing to let him go for nothing.
