Damn the Athletic article on the Jets PK was great. Can't wait until they get a full time Winnipeg writer, but in the meantime these Dellow deep dives are fantastic.

Surprised PK has that view. However I'm not surprised that a player in Nashville who wants to remain a fan favourite doesn't want to publically stand up to Trump in that way.

I don't get why people are offended that PK won't protest. He's got his own life to live, not everyone is going to be a social crusader.

Man, you still don't get it? I know Matthews is your bae but come on

He told the audience that he would “never” take a knee during the national anthem, because he has too much respect for the American flag.

What does that say about all the athletes that are kneeling? He's perpetuating a fiction that undermines protestors and strengthens their opponents.

Not this shit again...

Who asked him to be a social crusader? Just a simple understanding that kneeling isn't protesting the stupid fucking flag would be enough.

He had a great article on Price's PK save % under Therrien compared to Julien and explained why it's been so much better under Julien, some really great stuff.

More like he has a unique opportunity to raise awareness, especially for someone who wants to be the face of the NHL. If he doesn't want to get involved, say nothing, his comments are him picking a side.

There's a difference between not being a "social crusader" and parroting the nonsense narrative constructed by anti-protestors.

That's your interpretation of his comments. He never said that people who do kneel are disrespectful of the flag or the nation.

Last night my brother was like "I feel bad but doesn't it seem like all the teams in the Central have crazy injuries already this year?"

He may be a witch.

The Perds, Leafs, and Pens teams and players really should’ve just kept their mouths shut about protesting if they weren’t going to be supportive of the cause.

A non-answer is better than whatever they’ve given, especially from Matthews and Crosby.

This is the problem with what Trump has done. He's suddenly divided people into camps of kneeling or not kneeling, and somehow if you're a person who wouldn't kneel you belong to Trump's camp and the ignorant and/or racist group. Nobody asked PK what he thought of the racial issues in the U.S. it's all about kneeling during the anthem. You can't just clump everyone together who says they wouldn't kneel and claim they're all wrong, otherwise entire teams of guys that stand every single night are suddenly in the wrong. It's ridiculous that people are viewing it like this now.

People would have bitched at him for saying nothing and interpreted that as picking a side.

It's not that he said he wouldn't kneel. It's that he's perpetuating the belief that when you kneel, you are disrespecting the anthem. When answering whether or not you would kneel, you need to say you are aware of what they're kneeling for- police brutality and racial injustice. Saying I won't kneel because it disrepsects the flag, anthem, country, what have you, you are shifting away from the original discussion.

It was irresponsible of P.K. to say what he did not because he's wrong or his reasonings invalid, but because he is allowing the original point to be corrupted. He doesn't need to kneel to show solidarity, he needs to be vocal in his support of the kneeling athletes and not play this nationalism politics to distract from the suffering of POC.

Green doesn't want to rush Horvat's recovery so Granlund is centring 🐻🧀 and Boeser tomorrow. Still no idea where Granlund will end up in regular season.

Virtanen is also playing tomorrow but doesn't look like Goldobin will be.

I kinda like Drake. And I'm indifferent to anime.


BUT, I kinda like giant expensive walls. I'll vote yes as long as Smelly is paying for it or he can convince Fate_ to foot the bill.

Fate, that Drake meme - like every other meme - will always be funny and worth sharing.

Don't let these virtue-signalling secret both-siders bully you.

Boeser should play in the A for at least half the season.

It'll be the bigliest wall you've ever seen and Fate WILL pay for it, trust me. I have the best men working on it. Just the best.

Steen and Berglund for the Blues are gone for at least a month or so to start I think.

As Marvin says, once the NHL finds a competent dermatologist the Hawks will be suffering a grade 3 cap injury.

Nashville will miss Ellis, but they are still likely an elite team.

I feel like I'm forgetting a couple but it's almost 5PM and I hate posting for free aka after work. Later chumps!
