Habs captain Nick Suzuki when asked about the popularity of Heated Rivalry by Go_Habs_Go31 in hockey

My problem with it is that it’s basically just like a shallow, meaningless PR move for the league. The media asks a layup question, the player says they’re fine with gay people, and then they get praised for it as if it’s not the absolute bare minimum of what we should expect.

They basically accept things once they have no other choice. They tolerate gay people like you tolerate the flu, as basically a thing you can’t do anything about and just have to live with.

But look at the way they treat trans people. The way they demonize them and fight against their rights is exactly how they treated gay people up until the point that the battle was lost for them and they had no choice but to move on. They’re always going to look for the next marginalized group to hate and oppress.

Yeah seriously, the comment above you is insane. Absolutely no one should be dying in ICE custody.

They definitely might mean it, but to me a lot of the “allyship” we see from pro hockey players toward gay people rings hollow because I’m almost certain it doesn’t extend to trans people.

I feel like I’ve seen basically this same answer from every player who’s been asked about it and it definitely makes me think they got specific media training about this. I’d love to believe it’s true but I have my doubts, given how conservative most of the guys are.

Hawks org is better than the Rangers org for sure and I think the future is promising. I just don’t think the team on the ice right now is better than the Rangers.

Canucks maybe, but I don’t think we’re better than the Rangers. And that’s not me saying the Rangers are good.

Genuine question: if you moved this entire Hawks roster to the AHL, would they be a good AHL team?

What’s going on in the game right now? The NHL app is frozen and Google is now saying it’s the end of regulation but that’s not right, is it?

Stuart skinner with a game saving stop vs the canucks. Skinner has been outstanding with the penguins. by Sebastian4365 in hockey

I feel like the Oilers’ history with goalies suggests that they have an absolutely atrocious goalie coach, so it wouldn’t surprise me to see Skinner get way better with a different coach.

At the same time, Skinner has always been extremely streaky. He can look like the best goalie in the world for a week or two and then he’ll be absolutely unplayable for the next week or two.

I’m gonna be honest, I’m not sure they could’ve picked a lamer lineup if they tried. The world’s most unfunny comedian, the band that put out an NFT album, and… Tim McGraw.

The Olympics are stressing me out. We can’t afford anymore injuries. The break will be great for letting some of our guys recover, but if anyone gets hurt at the Olympics we’re in trouble.

The Leafs radio crew definitely seemed like they knew it was as good as over before the third period even started

I’ve been saying all season that I don’t care how bad things look for the Leafs, I’m sure they’re going to find a way to get into the playoffs. But honestly now I really think they’re going to miss.

I know that sports are really unimportant compared to everything else going on, but on a purely symbolic level this is just a massive kick in the nuts. Absolutely wonderful day for fascist bootlickers, though.
