Hockey people do....this is a sports forum that’s gotten way away from its intention, myself at fault as well. If you don’t want to talk sports or subtleties of life, stick to other forums.

Yes it's a hockey forum but re-watching a game from 30 years ago
I'm so starved for sports I watched Rugby League from Australia last night, it is the ringette of rugby and after the first half I deleted the recording. I'm just to picky about the sports I watch, I've still got half of the RWC games left on my PVR so I'll probably replay some of the better games, Japan vs Scotland comes to mind.

Let's talk about your gated community in Arizona and how great America is and how their hockey programme is eclipsing Canada's.

Yer a cheeky one lol

I love the game, mid 80’s to mid 90’s was my era, I think it was a beautiful game back then.

Mario Lemieux, Jagr, Coffey, Stevens, etc. some of the greatest ever, it’s great to watch them do their thing in their prime.

No to mention Modano was a budding star in the making...great television for someone who loves the game.

Still early in the game for it too. Was .17 in Mar. 1.82 now. Multi billion dollar contract hopefully announced soon. Previewed on BNN Market Call on Friday.

A lot of people may claim these riots and acts of destruction are a terrible response. I’ll be the first to admit that as a white male that was also my first reaction.

But who am I to tell someone that their pain is not real? Especially when it is at a boiling point and impossible to hold in anymore. It’s obviously coming from a place of truth. This reaction isn’t coming out of thin air.

I’m not condoning or approving the looting, but are we really going to sit here and say that peaceful protesting is the only answer? There has been plenty of time for that, and if it was the answer we would’ve given it our full attention long ago.

Listen to these two men debate. They are lost, they are in pain. They strived for a better future but as they get older they realize their efforts may be futile. They don’t know the answer of how to solve this problem for the next generation of black women and men. This breaks my heart.

I can’t pretend for a second that I know what it feels like to walk in a black man’s shoes. However, seeing the video of George Floyd’s death and the violent reaction across the country moved me to tears. It has pushed me to think, how much pain are black people and other minorities really feeling? What have Native American people dealt with in both Canada and US? What is it really like to grow up in their world? Where am I ignorant about the privileges that I may have that others don’t?

Compassion to me is at least trying to FEEL and UNDERSTAND what someone else is going through. For just a moment maybe I can try to see the world through their eyes. Covid has been rough but it has given us the opportunity to be much less preoccupied with our busy lives. We can no longer distract ourselves from the truth of what is going on.

My message isn’t for black people and what they should do going forward. My message is to white people to open our eyes and our hearts. That’s the only choice we have, otherwise this will continue.

Let’s choose to fight hate and fear with love and awareness. Ask not what can you do for me, but what can I do for you? Be the one to make the first move. In the end, love conquers all.

Hard to believe he’s got more Cups than Mario Lemieux and Joe Sakic.

I'm working on a future @bdnwheatkings alumni story, and it made me laugh out loud again that Ron Hextall took a WHL goalie record 117 penalty minutes in 46 games in the 1983-84 season. That's the same year @rayferrarotsn scored 108 goals. In today's game, both records are safe.

@RayFerraroTSN
Hexy was unbelievable that year. Played almost every game (except for 8 when he was suspended..lol)..tough as they come - and an awesome teammate

I don’t think we’re seeing the whole story, either way (pro-protest or pro-police). But I don’t think there is a scenario where driving your cruiser through a crowd is appropriate under any circumstances.

Why does it have to be one or the other?

Why can't there be a peaceful protest that gathers everyone's attention? There have been before.

Is there a 3rd party causing anarchy?

Seen him play when he was with the Ramparts that year. He looked like he might be worth taking a chance on.

Jimmy Kimmels opening was fantastic. Readers digest version "You need to get rid of this clown"

Kool now Ebola is breaking out again

No they aren’t, (frank)ing ban me if you want. In canada if you’re black or native you know what racism is. If you’re white you know how to complain about something you have no real idea about. All equal, come on man you’re supposed to be the impartial one. This can be my last comment so ill leave you all with a quote: where ignorance reigns, life is lost -Zach de la Rocha
