Around The NHL 2022-23


Recommended Posts

If reports are true, Khadri and Huberdeau putting heat on Sutter for their woes this year.

As I don't follow the Flames I'm wondering if they are also sharing some of the responsibility for the Flames underperforming or do they believe they've exhausted what they can do based on the ice time they've received and the schemes and strategies laid out by the coaching staff?

regardless of what team you root for, this is what you want to see from the face of the NHL: 
 

 

The Staal brothers disagree with you.

And they have the right to refuse, just like Colin Kaepernick had the right to take a knee, but it is weak to send out a “statement” through the team’s PR guy, citing a nebulous “we support inclusivity but we refuse to wear a symbol of this inclusivity because of “our religious beliefs”, and will take no further questions on this, thank you”. 

If you have such conviction, stand by it. Explain what in your beliefs specifically makes you reject homosexuality, how the Pride jersey is an endorsement of that specifically, rather than just a symbol of support and inclusion for a marginalized and historically oppressed group regardless of your sexual preferences. And don’t hide behind copy written by/for a PR flunkie who has to deliver your message for you. No further comment does not cut it here.

Difference being Kaepernick is genuine in his belief... the Staals (Eric in particular) are not.   He's a lying sack of s**t.

Well pretty much unofficial they will be on the move now. Desert desperation & despair.

Houston? Quebec City? KC?

 

Ahhhh, no.

Bettman will move them to a local rink while telling Calgary they better get a new arena or face relocation.

Probably not evident here but I'm not a huge fan of Bettman.
