Love PK, but this is what hockey is sadly. Kids from rich white families who only interact with other rich white families. Most pros are of the Max Domi/Tony DeAngelo tree and are just better at keeping their racist views private or in their Instagram likes. Minor hockey rinks are the most vile places heave ever been to & stuff like what happened to Jordan is pretty common. It’s even worse in youth hockey and it drives a lot of kids of color away from playing because they & their parents rightfully don’t want to devote hours of their time to the sport. Especially since the kids doing the racist shit never get caught or punished because their parents think the same way or just excuse it immaturity. It’s a little better than it used to be, because you’ve got good youth programs outside of the the usual markets, but so much of this shit goes down to “if you see something say something” & the kids who call it out are usually the ones who get in trouble or get bullied in retaliation. Jordan’s teammates going after Panetta immediately is more unity than any of the virtue signaling statements teams & players send out when something like this happens, though. It makes me a little more hopeful than usual.
And fucking there it is. “I wasn’t being racist, you just thought what I did was racist and I’m sorry you’re offended.” Of course the let’s go brandon section of hockey fans are buying it.
She just got hired for analytics with the Canucks and it is going to be huge for them. Listening to her podcast it's amazing the level she works at. Good hire.
Fucking lazy, they won't even come out and publicly support the HDA. You wanna actually fix this shit then start at the top with meaningful action. Lazy.
Some good news at least Also the icemen are a rangers affiliate. We really have a knack for finding this kind of trash.
She said that the Devils only drafted Luke Hughes to sell tickets and that he's a bad kid (no details) Hope she doesn't ever talk to his brother who plays for the Canucks!
Is it weird that the interim GM is hiring an assistant GM? Once they hire a GM (unless he knows he’s getting the position) want to hire that person?
It's bad enough the Kings wear those stupid shiny helmets at home but wearing them as the visiting team is so dumb
Lol of course the Ducks never get a win in Boston while I’m there then win the first game there since I move away. Also, lol at this team making me think they were done with 4 losses in a row only to go on and beat TB and BOS on the road in back to back games.
The turn on him within the Ducks community was wild. Everyone wanted him before he came up, and then no one wanted him there. Then there was the first two months of this season, then the last month, now now... I'm not sure what to think of him.
And they are keeping Yeo the coach. The tank is on. At least Yandle is hitting that record today. That'll be nice to see.
Aaron Dell just clotheslined Drake Batherson as he tried to skate behind the net after he let in a (another) soft goal to go down 3-0 this guy sucks man
Devils legend Aaron Dell just one of zillion trash goalies NJ has trotted out over the last 5-6 years
