This genuinely pisses me off

This sport I love is slowly making it clear I'm not invited-

The pride jerseys are one thing, but okay, it caused issues due to some people. That's okay. But the tape. The tape which has always been OPTIONAL!? For fuck's sake

 

[Storm Trooper]

yeah this is total shit.

I read the article. it seems like it says the league doesn't want to support any groups. So I hope we don't get hispanic heritage stuff, or black stuff, etc. Hell technically the wording makes it sound like Hockey Fights Cancer better not have jerseys either. (Note I personally want to have all those, just saying that's what I got from the article).

I can understand the league not doing jerseys. That's a league wide thing. But if an individual wants to tape their stick rainbow who the fuck cares. If you don't like it don't do it. It doesn't affect you. If you're such a fucking snowflake you can't play a game because somebody warms up with rainbow taped jerseys then you don't deserve to play in the game.

If the NHL runs a promo for veteran/military appreciation, gladly cross my name off that list.

It's kind of ironic that groups who say "Oh people who use pronouns are SNOWFLAKES" or use that term for anyone left leaning are also the ones freaking the fuck out over a rainbow.

Oh no what would Putin think

Yep. Thanks to Ron DeSantis' "Don't Say Gay" policy for the state of Florida, the NHL's adopted that policy, banning anything LGBTQ-related, because some declare it "evil" or it's "against their religion." Bullshit! Like Stormy says, who the fuck cares, as in letting the players choose if they want to put this on their hockey stick or putting on a patch to show support for something.

I'll try to get some picks in at least once a week.

But I was feeling these:

Lightning - ML
Pens - -160
Kraken - ML

Jon Cooper looks like the brother of former Georgia coach Mark Richt.

 

[Mitch Buchannon]

This genuinely pisses me off

Yeah I'm fucking angry about it

 

[#Waddles]

LOL., this is not about the Country Canada. But a coach on the Steelers.

 

[Spider DKR]

Pitts crossover fandom lol

 

[Storm Trooper]

This fucking sucks.

He deserved to go out on his own accord. The only saving grace is that he at least is around to get his flowers.
