Who is Noodles? McLennan?Fucking noodles on Overdrive today, already unbearable with his dip shit views.

Fuck off turd.
Who is Noodles? McLennan?
Yes, I'm 99% sure he's a closet Trump supporter.
He's from Edmonton. Nuff said.Yes, I'm 99% sure he's a closet Trump supporter.
Kaepernick took a knee because of injustice in America, particularly law enforcements treatment of black people. His salary has nothing to do with all of that, but he sure does have the life experience being a visible minority.
What minorities ask for is to be an ally to us. You dont have to kneel if you dont want to do that, but words of support would be nice.
Crosby did the easy thing instead of the right thing and just yes mand his response to going to the White House. Matthews, who is part-Mexican, gave a both sides kind of answer thats incredibly disappointing.

I wrote smelly off years ago. His opinions are terrible and swedish.The great thing about NHL-gaf is that we can talk about this sort of shit without immediately writing each other off.
Political threads in OT are a different beast.

Hockey is a super undiverse predominantly both simultaneously rich and small town rather than urban sport where having a personality is actually frowned upon.Auston noooooooooo
tbh, I'm pretty certain that most of the North American players in the league are of the same opinion :-(
Boring empty platitudes that say fucking nothing arent called hockey interviews for no reason.

Always assume the worst from NHL players.
A lot of them were already exposed as Trump supporters earlier this year, why would their teammates, who grew up in the same conditions as them and hang out with the exact same people, be any different.
They are a bunch of rich uneducated dumbasses
Wrestlers and hockey players are that rule yeah.
Well at least we'll seeGalchenyukMitchell get #1C some reps!
at least Mitchell showed up to camp so yes, give him the rub

Your saying a young player that has been in trade rumors for years now, that keeps getting bounced around between center to wing, no coach has confidence in him, and demoted to 4th line winger in the yoffs, isnt suddenly giving a shit in training camp, when his team has given the #1C spot to a new kid that has never played center in his pro career, over you where you happen to score 30 goals as a center just 2 years ago.
I am shocked.

Edmonton is actually a pretty liberal city.

Thing is, if Carey is healthy, does it really matter that Galchenyuk - or Drouin for that matter - sucks defensively?

*8 in 4 games in a week, when we were already eliminated
And your saying that as if his whole career was a series of injustice

Not saying his whole career but as an outsider looking in, his treatment the past 2 seasons or so has been baffling.

The disappointing thing is that saying no to the White House would've been a small but significant gesture of support.
It's a league based in North America and the team is made up multiple nationalities. Meeting the President of the United States is probably not a big deal to most of them.

i'm willing to go 50/50, Therrien was unfair with him at time there's no denying that, but he also brought it onto himself at times
you know Cake, there are two sides
And what about the Alt-Left wing?i'm willing to go 50/50, Therrien was unfair with him at time there's no denying that, but he also brought it onto himself at times

Brock Boeser practicing on the Sedins line today and Burmistrov between Goldobin and Virtanen. With Horvat injured, Granlund has been centring Vanek and 🐻🧀 but then again, Granlund has been playing centre basically all pre-season despite Green saying he will start on the wing. I have no idea what Green wants to do with lines at this point.
And what about the Alt-Left wing?
just as bad as the Alt-Right Wing, and we all know teams can't win without a strong Center

Sometimes I wonder if you some of you guys think less of me because I'm from Edmonton.

I'll admit, Goldobin-Burmistrov-Virtanen isn't a line I considered, but I'm sort of curious to see how it goes.

Yeah, Burmistrov from what I can tell is a good player screwed by Atlanta/Winnipeg and I think would be a good playmaker to put between those two.I'll admit, Goldobin-Burmistrov-Virtanen isn't a line I considered, but I'm sort of curious to see how it goes.

I was raised in Hamilton, so I understand the chip on your shoulder.

Because you can't separate a fan from the team itself.
Let's be honest. Sports fandom is utterly arbitrary. "Oh, I was born in Montreal. Go Habs!...or be socially ostracized." It's dumb. Not as dumb as nationalism, but it's still up there.

100% depends on whether or not you like the same team as I do
Worst of all are those people who root against their country and cheer for, say, Russia because they have the most nukes.Because you can't separate a fan from the team itself.

From Hamilton to Pittsburgh, you know all about stink.
Fucking noodles on Overdrive today, already unbearable with his dip shit views.

Fuck off turd.
Noodles tries to be "moderate" on literally every issue or argument. It's supremely annoying after a while. It's fine when you're talking about sports since who gives a shit about that, but when he does it for more important things, he comes off like an asshole.

Sulphur runs through my veins.

Depends on the team. Sometimes I root for the Leafs despite the fanbase and media surrounding them because they're young, exciting, and not very distasteful except for Kadri and Martin.Because you can't separate a fan from the team itself.
