You and I dis agree on whether the games should be postponed or not...ok...no problem.

I’m watching NHL Network (I don’t have a life) and they seem to be thinking there isn’t an official announcement because they’re trying to figure out the scheduling.

Why? They’re at the point of playing only 2 games each day - one in each bubbly - why can’t they just double-shift for one day? No one knows how long these series’s I’ll go anyways - 5/6/7 games....
- StLBravesFan

So sad if they don't play the games, this is a bully media mentality. Everyone has a free will. It is a sad state. Yes, it is terrible what happened in Kenosha, the initial event and the post activities. To be honest, does postponing the games benefit anything or anyone?

Wow what a bunch of crybabies! I can't watch my hockey when i want to?

Do you really think this is about not getting to watch hockey? This is about a whole lot more than hockey games. If this was really about what it is claimed to be about, the people protesting/rioting should be protesting the living conditions that fosters the violence seen every day in Chicago where innocent children are murdered because they happened to get caught in the crossfire between rival gangs and drive-by shootings. The protesters don't seem to have the same level of concern for those black lives.

He knows what it is about. He wanted to take a personal shot without getting his hands too dirty. Whaddya gonna do....

No announcement yet, eh? Maybe there's something going on...

Just saw it on the NHL app. No hockey today or tomorrow. I feel better already!

We know what rocks to turn over to find tea bagging, confederate, MAGAt takes and opinions fueled by Fox Ruse Whorehouse, Breitbart and Qanon. ....... Link the class up, not opinions of the cowardice posse you run with, that shows the ME concluded the guy who's neck was kneeled on for 10 minutes died of an overdose.

Before you fail to, post a fraudulent or incomplete cherry picked version link I'll say that's why a person hasn't seen your spew from any credible source.

You are a real charmer. This is a good example of how to get others to your side.

Anyway, you can read the actual court document. Of course, that might be fake, too.

Glad to see you again, Rico. Say hello to Edzo next time you see him at anger management.

I posted the fact that the medical examiner determined that George Floyd's cause of death was due to drug overdose. Do you dispute that fact?

By the way, you probably won't be informed by the mainstream media, but the medical examiner in Minnesota determined George Floyd's death was due to drug overdose - not the cop kneeling on his neck. But the facts don't matter after the "protest" train left the station 3 months ago and large parts of cities have been burned to the ground. Defunding police because a criminal resisted arrest and swallowed a lethal dose of fentanyl is sound logic to those looking for an excuse to do what we have witnessed. Ignorance is bliss. Let's cancel everything. Not just sports - everything should be cancelled until equality of results is realized, and not just in the U.S., but everywhere in the world. Cancel movies and TV, cancel music, cancel school, cancel work, cancel medicine and health care, cancel alcohol and other drugs, cancel every form of happiness. Everything should be cancelled until everyone in the world feels exactly the same level of miserable. What about people who are better looking or stronger or taller or are smarter than other people? Yep, those people need to be changed so they're uglier and weaker and shorter and dumber so the ugly, weak, short, dumb people aren't disadvantaged. If this is about equality for all - than it needs to be thorough and without exception and that can't happen until everyone is exactly the same in every way. Let's get started.

Do you know what happened in Oak Park last week. The mayor and town council met at the mayor's house to vote on defending the police Over 100 protestors gathered inside the mayors yard, destroyed property, and after the vote they banged on the house walls and left graffiti all over. The village was busy removing it this week. One of the town council members, a lady. Is accused of being behind the protestors action She denies it, although she says she supports the actions of the protestors. She is talking out of both sides of her mouth.

Society will eventually come to common sense and a firm grip will be the only answer. Taxpayers will not allow destruction and mayhem to continue. Now. do I think BLM has SOME legitimate concerns. Sure. But they are out of line with their conduct when destruction occurs. There is far more American support for law and order than sympathy for BLM. We have to get to the point of equality and no hatred. Most if not all society has had this problem throughout history - class treatment. It is in our news and we are sick of it. I feel like those who don't like seeing it here in a hockey blog are 100% right. But it has come into our lives and what can we do. Back law and order. Sit at the table and try to allevie e worries and concerns. Surely some rights and or perception needs to change for all concerned

Ooooooh, you read what the DEFENSE has introduced? Daamn, I was wrong. The guy who had his thorax kneeled on for 10 minutes died from drugs? You mean it was drugs in the system of the dark guy that killed him not having his thorax crushed by the white copper? ....... Link the class up with the DEFENSE documents.

"Stuff gonna get real", homie? Ain't been around much just check in for MAGAt and tea bagging takes from those who enable the 6 time bankrupt, vagina grabbing, charity thief, you been watching tons of Netflix during the hoax? Dats some hard language, "stuff gettin real".

Ok lets get back to hockey and possible trades hawks can make to improve their team.

Malkin?

I mean the NBA clearly has chosen to use its platform for only certain social justice causes. They don't give an f*** about China or the grotesque human rights violations going on there. Instead Lebron goes out and says he can't comment b/c its not his country or culture, etc. Why don't they care? Because its about money and those human rights problems don't impact "their" community.

There is a problem so let's figure out how to solve it. Step 1 is changing how we train police because excessive use of force isn't just a black problem. It happens to all Americans far too often. We cannot ignore the other problem which is disobeying police officers commands, fighting police (including be tazered and still not listening).

NO this does not justify shooting someone in the back but I am almost certain the situation does not escalate if the person listens to police commands. There are always going to be bad apples, like the George Floyd cop, but for the love of god people listen to police commands, especially when you have a gun pointed at you.

I can also understand why black americans are scared because of the racism and police. I have friends that have been pulled over for being the wrong color in a neighborhood and had horrible encounters with police simply because of their skin color.

I'd be scared too but are you not scared or concerned about the 1000s that die each year from gun and gang violence. Apparently that isn't as big an issue? If we are counting based on lives it seems like it should be. Or is that ok because it is black on black crime?

Also institutional racism is a real thing. Anyone who doubts that just go watch a video about Redlining. There is a good one by NPR on Youtube. Its about 6-7 mins long.

Yes there is a lot wrong as the post you were replying illustrates

I know it's only two of the "posse" here right now and you feel threatened enough to post LOL's and gifs but don't be scared, Rock Star. Post the mother fuc%*#@ LINK!!
- Mr Ricochet

You're right, Rico, everything you disagree with is made up.

Bottom line is that there is a judicial process coming up that may find the cop guilty, or may not. I think the players should do their boycott after that. I know that's sacrilege to an erudite person like you. Sue me.

Dude, chill and keep and open mind. the initial autopsy was cardiopulmary arrest (heart attack). The dude was on drugs and had a heart condition. Definitely the stress due to the arrest and unattentive cops contributed to his demise. Additional autopysis were conducted which added additional confusion. One was done by the family, the guy was paid to say what Floyd's lawyer wanted. It was unfortunate that the encounter escalated and the guy lost his life. Maybe if the police were able to restrain this Jacob guy better, maybe he would be alive today. People really don't think sanely when emotions, adrenaline, and drugs are involved. Too bad a majority of the people don't understand this.

The facts are that the police action there was abusive. Also Floyd was a looser and he is an example of how society tolerates this to happen. Something should be done to steer poor people in the right direction. Government incentives for......i don't know the answer, but others do. And as for media, it is all controlled and puppets do the talking. That situation too is getting worse..Some people want to connect the dots between media and our rights with Democrats. It is difficult to weed through all the bs in this country. People get mighty gung ho for one political party or the other.

I wonder how this country looks when the Presidential election after this one rolls around. How has society dealt with its problems. I don't see a lot if good but I do beljeve some progress is made. But the progress is going to be not because all are totally sympathetic with the plight of the poor. It is about money and destruction and that it will always be. That is our society

Apparently people are complaining about it, especially on this board. Look i don't know what happened my guess is a black guy was killed by a white cop, probably shot him in the back or kneeled on his neck, if so this is the problem, but again i don't know what happened but I'm not going to cry about not being able to watch hockey tonight when lives are being lost, no matter how anyone justifies it.

That point you make is true. And it is a problem society deals with.

Post the mother fuc*^@# link. You're a fraud man, with a big mouth and 7 like minded buds. ........ Post the LINK.

I realize you fellas have little to no shame but you are being called out to post the link you, and your lil buddy, read that the ME found that the dark guy died of an OD.

POST the link.
- Mr Ricochet

Who are these fellas or posse?

Get some help, Rico. Seriously. You seem a bit worked up.

if we select Holloway say instead of Zary it does seem somewhat a reach for need first. Either would be an excellent choice. Curious to see how the draft plays and wiz review of it all..

To the hockey board: I am sorry that the delicate nature of the protests results in hockey games cancelled. And that upsets our hockey world. Which of course is small potatoes compared to the protest issues and how it has affected the world we all reside. There should be other routes to take when emotion over societal issues run high. I understand that canceling games is more out of respect for democratic rights of the so called oppressed. Cancelling games is to acknowledge the concerns, since players and coaches etc al do not want to appear non sypmpathetic to the issues at hand.

Nowadays this country has a greater amount of African American and Spanish people plus the Indian.population is growing. The voices are getting louder as too many of the poor are now in greater numbers. Equality is a tough issue to navigate.

Well said

Here you go, Rico..... from a local Minneapolis television station.

Again, no idea if it is true, but waiting for the process to play out before making a social statement by boycotting hockey seems a sound way to go.

Have a wonderful time at the rink discussing with JJ.

Nothing hockey related or political/racial. Just leaving it here for all of you. Be safe. Slainte.
