2017-2018 NHL Season Thread Hockey • Page 137

Note the usage of the intentionally ambiguous "like this". Because we both know the Rangers aren't gonna be invited to the White House in the next 3 years.

 

...i don't wanna get banned

 

well let’s see I have 4 sharks jerseys, 3 Texans and 3 dodgers jerseys in my closest.

all my like bobble heads/pucks are sitting on my dresser.

 

For some reason I thought you had way more, don't you have Fresno stuff too?

 

yup. I have like two Grizzlies bobble heads, a Fresno Grizzlies Harambe bat and a bunch of Grizzlies cards.

 

ugh, just realized a picture with crosby, bettman, and trump in it is gonna exist

 

3 years? You're too kind.

 

Ok.

 

I would've said 7 years but I don't want to tempt fate.

 

the only thing that’ll probably be interesting about the sharks in the next few years is how long JT lasts.

We’ll also be talking about how bad that Burns contract will start to be.

 

Slappincups is really on his game today

Also Kessel has a chance to be world chorus champ if he doesn't go

 

Then don’t say anything ban worthy. It’s privilege to just let sports go on as sports, without any social commentary slipping through. If you’re worried of saying something that will cross a line, that’s on you, sit this one out. But don’t ask others to stopper discussion on such an important issue.

 

thanks, gotta get it out before the wings get steamrolled all season and i'm even more depressed about the state of things

 

i didn't say anything ban worthy. there's literally a politics forum on this same fucking site. go there if you want to talk about it... most of the NHL dudes in here are awesome.

 

There's always dahlin

 

I’m not saying you did. If you’re worried of getting banned, don’t say anything that would get you banned, that’s what I was saying. We have every right to discuss a current event as it pertains to this sport, we’re well within our right. There’s plenty of other places for you to discuss all hockey and just hockey if that’s what you’d like.

 

now we're talkin

 

My comment was about JT, so apologies if you thought I was talking about you.

 

He's going to the devils and they're gonna be 2020 champs. Everything just gets worse.

 

Just because you didn't capitalize his name, I originally read it like "Darlin'" with an accent and now that's so embedded in my brain that I think I've forgotten how his name is actually pronounced.

 

I mean, people have a right to be disgusted by the Pens right now. If it’s not your politics, sorry but it does pertain to the NHL and it’s worthy of discussion in here.

 

Doing a bang up job ...

People are dying. Politics matter. If you are so self centered to not face it, fine - you do you, but telling others not to ... is morally bankrupt imo. Don’t tell people not to have this important conversation, that’s what I’m saying ..

 

I saw a dude wearing a golden knights hat at my work right now and that is so wild.

it looks good though.

 

Dah-leen

Which also makes no sense

 

Are you kidding me?

Saying "keep politics out of sports" is absolutely idiotic. Sports are a platform, and always have been. When there are MAJOR issues occurring in real life, and players are given a chance to take a stand and do something, they should. Keeping it separate is stupid.

But the NHL is predominately white and Canadian/European, so the odds of something good actually happening were very low.
