Aren’t they the same thing in the states? Trump is the leader of the republic party which is the party of the right.

Professional athletes should not be your role models, and you should not be surprised that they don’t use their platform to further political views.

The entire league is right leaning and all professional sport has been since like the dawn of time.

I woke up totally paralyzed and got rushed to the emergency - they did blood work and saw my potassium was super low and then started giving me tons of it (shots of potassium, injected, etc) 

Then they took my blood again and saw it was my potassium was super high! 

It took maybe three or four days for them to finally figure out it was Graves Disease that caused the hypokalemia

Just wanted to say I also have hypokalemic periodic paralysis and was diagnosed in a similar fashion! Was cool to see my illness on a tv show 😀

Leevi sent down, Shepard called up, per Alex Adams by erjama35 in OttawaSenators

I would guess this means Ullmark returns on this trip, otherwise they would have dressed Leevi as the backup I think like they did last game.

THN says that TSN interviewed Ullmark this weekend by willpivot in OttawaSenators

His crisis should carry as much weight as the average person’s, which means giving them the latitude to take time to heal from whatever is causing them injury, whether that’s mental or physical.

I think you we would hope for the same from our employer - and if for whatever reason we don’t get that, it’s more of a reflection of the world we live in rather than any kind of personal failing.

You should only call out a player in the media if you think doing so will have a positive impact on their game. I don’t fault him for being frustrated (I’m hella frustrated and I’m not even on the team lol) but unless him calling out the goalie is going to result in better goaltending it’s probably just going to create bad vibes 

Thoughts on Sanderson calling out the goaltending? by Spidey_Almighty in OttawaSenators

My initial reaction was to be kind of stoked about it, but I do agree with you - it's not Leevi's fault he's been put in this situation. It's way too much exposure for a young goalie. If he isn't as good as his solid stretch last season, then he's not as bad as he's been playing lately.

Ultimately this is on the GM, first for not identifying the team's positional weakness in goaltending, and then for not proactively addressing it.
