He has mellowed out quite a bit. I was thinking during the end of game parade for the hot showers, usually the Marchand shitshow happens at around 5 or 6-1. I don't think he got a penalty in the 3rd. - Load Management
I think if he kissed someone now in the pandemic he would get kicked out. Can you imagine that conversation ? Bettman telling him not to kiss or lick other players.

Would probably get a decent suspension now, bubble or not.
Jeezus, the Avalanche better get going soon or they're toast.

Maybe the talk of playoffs being boycotted has them all distracted. Being in the NHL operations HQ hub they seem to know more from some of the comments made by media on sight.

Totally separate note. How do you think the Dallas Players, assuming some have family in Texas, are handling this devastating Hurricane Laura. - henny1953
Doesn't Loui and Jordie also have family in Dallas?
I wish to extend an olive branch to our Vegas visitors and share a youtube rabbit-hole I feel down yesterday.
I'll dedicate it to our opponents...........cuz we're gonna win.
Its a reaction type video, but these gentleman are from Sin City and I found them really fun.

with emotional issues, and clinical depression............
Oh yeah 4 - 1 Canucks Loui with GWG
(I know TT is in for 4Line Lou, so when TT scores, Loui scores.............sorta.....)
After the protests/postponements yesterday by the NBA, MLB, WNBA, etc etc, I think the NHL really dropped by the ball on the message they've been timidly putting forward. I think they need to do something tonight – something more than a minute of silence – if it's all to not just come across as lip service.

Let’s be honest, without massive social change in the US all of the t-shirt wearing, anthem kneeling, BLM banners, fist raising, walk-outs, etc is all just lip service.
The fact that you have an American election in November that is still up for grabs tells you just how divided and morally corrupt that country is. If their citizens really want equality it’s going to take more than pro-sports symbolism to achieve it.
Postpone the games, put out an official announcement, have Bettman do a press conference about it.... something more than "here's a minute of silence, let's play hockey and not bring it up again".
I know hockey is very white, but this is a much larger issue, and I'm sure other athletes and people would respect the support of the NHL and NHL players adding their voice to the mix.

They need to find a president that isn’t racist before there will be change

I fully agree. Things aren't going to change without a serious overhaul of some deeply ingrained systems. However, not doing anything is going to make it easier to sweep things under the rug and "get back to normal". Keeping a light on the big issues, constant conversation, political pressure... it adds up, slowly.
Unfortunately with American politics being a two party system (and highly partisan now), it's hard to separate issues when the parties are so extreme. Being in the States is not great, and I think its going to get worse – I'm actively looking at leaving here in the next six months.
there goes my season tickets.
