I thought JVR played well considering his line mates. Grant continues to struggle. Braun continues to struggle. I almost would roll the dice with Hagg and Ghost but Braun gets one more game. I assume Laughton is hurt. If not I would sat one of Thompson or Grant, whoever played would have been 4C, left JVR in

I'm going to call my boss today and tell him that I'm not coming to work due to protesting the situation. When he tells me I can't do that, I'll tell him he's denying my individuality as a human being. I'll let you know how it works out.

Yes sir! Playing sports are their job!

You can make your own decision about what's important to you, and factor in the possible consequences. As can the athletes. The consequences of your decision are different than these athletes.
- Coburns_Nose

Exactly

Boy, I wish I could just decide to not go to work with no consequences based on a half truth and false narrative.

Maybe Ill stick a gun in to the belly of a pregnant woman and be a career criminal then die of a fentanyl overdose then get a horse drawn golden casket and state funeral attended by thousands and used by a political party to win an election using any means necessary. And then have the video of what really happened hidden for months while terrorists use my death as an excuse to rob, loot, and burn cities down.

That would be awesome huh!?

And before you comment, I don't care what you have to say. Your opinion is irrelevant.

Amen

No game tonight.
At least it takes what goalie to start out of the mix now.

Seriously asking, so please don’t take this as a troll. As a black man, how do you feel about the NHL playing last night compared to other main sports boycotting?

I don’t think any sports should boycott. It’s their job and they’re paid handsomely to play a child’s sport. It sounds like an excuse and it sounds spoiled. They’re in a bubble that closes them off from everything.

Even if that were true, and it is certainly possible, I also accompany putative condescension with carefully argued posts.

Now, who gives a (frank) about condescension?

Lets say a jerk makes logical posts. Why not address the post instead of focusing on tone etc?

In other words, the post, not the poster?

Quite simple. You can't have a rational discussion with an indoctrinated brainwashed far left liberal who thinks only the facts that he believes are actual facts and that when confronted with alternative facts, then turns to carefully worded personal insults of basically "I am better and smarter than you are and I am only doing this for the betterment of society"

This is a farce and an absolute disgrace.

If they don't play tonight would the Hart/Elliot "issue" be moot given the extra rest time?
- Scoob

I'd say it would be a moot point for sure.

Here is statistic:
in 2019 ~1000 people were killed by police in the US. 77% of them were not black (although, in 20% of the cases the race was documented as "unknown")
https://www.statista.com/...ath-by-us-police-by-race/

of 235 black people killed by police 224 were armed.

Do police procedures and policies need reevaluation? Are these policies and procedures racially biased? Arrive to your own conclusions

I’m sorry, earlier today I think I I mixed up two different stories.

I believe one story was a white male walking freely with an assault riffle. I guess he walked by multiple cop cars and was able to shoot a skateboarder at a protest before cops did anything.

The other story, I guess a black male did not comply to officers, so instead of these two or three officers taking him down and arresting him, they unloaded on him in his car.

Am I correct?

I'd say it would be a moot point for sure.

Looks like Vancouver game is cancelled so I expect flyer isles to be cancelled. All game should be canceled until all injustice is resolved.

Nothing official from the league but multiple sources are stating the games will not be played tonight.

Wow, I'm in love 😍.

I wonder how long the boycott will last ? 1 game or the entire playoffs done?

The truest thing that was ever written on this board.

This is a farce and an absolute disgrace.

Agree 100%. Complete joke they're doing this.
