For some reason, I've had the appetite of a 19 year old stoner these past two days. Buying popsicles, ben and jerry's, oreos, etc.
Delicious. Better make sure to get in a workout this weekend

Pretty sure Toronto knew the comedic risks when it came to him.
Watertown, possible some of the surrounding areas. The main portions of the city aren't locked down, but they suggest people stay in their homes.
Wait, what's up with this Chechnya stuff? Have they given out more information on the subjects?
EDIT: Yeah if I was in Boston right now, I'd just stay home, or at least not go anywhere near large crowds/public events/landmarks.

Guys, my son is writing an essay on punishment and chose hockey. Revolves around intent to injure. Does anyone know how long Hossa was out after the Torres hit?
Their father, aunt, and uncle have all given statements. Dad and aunt are in denial, uncle was fucking pissed and told the kid to turn himself in. Said that he's a disgrace to their entire ethnicity.
If I may make a suggestion, separate them, spread some Nutella on the filling and put it back together. Or mix it with the regular black ones.

A long long time. You can use me as the citation for the essay.

I think he might be overstating it. As the article suggests, it's likely that these two are working mostly on their own. I don't think this is indicative of a pan-Chechen jihad. But we'll see.
I have no idea what this is supposed to mean, sorry. Like, I know the words, I just don't get the context.

Purely pointless speculation at this point, but I do wonder if 'secular' Chechen nationalism was the carrot that drew them into/exposed them to a radicalized Islamist group.
A movement where Chechens around the world are working together to wage war against its perceived enemies (religious, cultural, imperial).
I might be the first to ever use that term, but it works.
Yeah, no idea. Will be interesting to see how often they interacted with other Chechens. My guess for now is that neither brother had much success integrating into American culture which left them on the margins and vulnerable to influence.

I would imagine that's not a thing.
edit:
To clarify: the term jihad is not a good fit for Chechen acts of political terror compared its use describing the acts of splinter groups such as Al-Qaeda, who have dominated the term internationally over the past decade.
Yeah... that doesn't sound like a thing. I really hope that'll just be the isolated works of two delutional Chechens. I've never even heard the term "Chechen" before just now. If you say jihad, are they confirmed Muslims? Are they Americans or foreigners living in the country?
Yeah I saw Sanjuro's post in the big thread last night.
Did you read the article?
Chechen = people from Chechnya
And they're confirmed Muslims. Naturalized Americans, I think.
You don't need to be in Boston to be able to read posts written in Boston. And probably not a good idea to bring this back up when people have moved on.

Easy to criticize someone living there from places both remote from there and an entirely different country apparently. (Not you)
They're a native Russian people, I believe. Chechneya.

How have some people here never heard of Chechnya before? Did you miss the 1990s? The Moscow Theatre attack? The Beslan school attack? Good golly.

I have no intention of signing up for the site to read it. I was just disputing the use of jihad, not denying any larger movement behind the attacks.
I'm responding directly to the article that I linked to in the same post, which featured comments like:
"This is a big deal. And it shows how the conflict in the Caucasus has metastasized into a kind of globalized jihadist theatre, at least in the minds of the young people fighting there."
And I didn't realize you needed to sign up. I'm not signed up and I was able to access the article from the FP twitter link. But I also accessed it from my phone.
I'm honestly surprised I haven't heard of it before, esp since I'm European oO. I guess that happened before my time? I mean, I was born 1990... Maybe you're just too old.
Also, that article is behind some weirdo "log in with facebook" pop-up you can't get rid of Soc, and I hate pages like that like the pest.
I know about Chechnya, but it's really something practically no one ever brings up I suppose.
He wasn't cleared to play until sometime in December if I remember correctly.

I know there was a Chechnyan mail order bride on an episode of Aqua Teen Hunger Force that we watched on a DVD in college.
I have heard of it elsewhere before that too

A baby Euro walks among us!?!
Sorry for my above post - it's assholish.
Your age would explain it: both Chechen Wars occurred in the 90s, and the Moscow & Beslan attacks occurred in the early 00s.
I know Lindros missed the whole next season after the Stevens hit.

I'm sure its a well written article and I have no intention of getting into long winded political debate in a hockey thread.
For what it's worth a decent amount of academic writing on the subject seems to use the term Jihad to describe the acts of a ethnic or religious group that uses the same methods as Al Qaeda and its ilk, and not to reflect the the root cause of a true jihad.
edit:
Having read the article on mobile halfway through writing this post I have no issue with it.

What? It wasn't Darcy Tucker's fault he signed with the leafs
Friedman mentioned in his 30 thoughts blog this week that he believes the league should just cancel the postponed Sens/ Bruins game if it's result won't have any effect on the playoff match ups. I don't know how the league handles this types of situations , but it would make sense for them to cancel it if it's a pointless game.
mmhmm has that ever happened before? Couldn't other teams argue that those 2 teams would then be "fresher" for the playoffs than others? I'm not saying it'd be sound logic, but it's something. I'm not sure there's an "optimal" solution here.

As an Ottawa fan I'd take that in a heartbeat.
On the other hand it's very unlikely that the matchups won't be in flux given how tight the east is and it could set a bad precedent.
Pretty much. You could even say that they're better off canceling the Pens/Bruins game, rather than the Sens one.
Pens/Bruins game is already rescheduled for tomorrow and will definitely affect the standings.
D'oh. I forgot about their close points total to the Habs. Whoops.

Sens are 1 point behind Leafs and 1 ahead of Islanders. They have to play that game. Races at the mid to bottom of the East are way too tight.
