Is it bad that I kind of hate players like Seth Jones & Zach Werenski more than DeAngelo because they have equally fucked up views and are just not as annoying about it?
They're all scum. Pretty sure I'd absolutely hate 95% of hockey players fans and management in real life. Take a look at how Steve Kerr came out swinging about the recent mass shootings. That shit never happens in our league and if it does it gets buried and forgotten. Remember the hockey diversity alliance? They were popular for a hot minute in the bubble and now the league won't even officially endorse them. This is the game trump voters flocked to in protest of the NFL. Nhl knows this and likes it that way.
Here's my newest conspiracy theory: in exchange for the 250k Tom Wilson fine, the rangers can run over any player without punishment for a few years. Enter Jacob trouba.
Watching that Jarvis hit reminds me of the kapanen hit from like 20 years ago. This league has not changed.
On paper, Tampa seem like the easy pick, but Shesterkin was 3-0 with a .958 SV% and 1 SO against them this season. Therefore, in short, fuck Tampa and go Rangers, I guess.
Its so weird that I usually hate the dynasty franchises, but Tampa gets a pass. Just love Hedman and Stamkos too much to be pissy about it. Nowadays I just can't stand the Rags, B's, Blackhawks, and Caps. My distaste for the Pens and Red Wings have cooled down over the years.
What gets me is how players like Jones & Barzal are so deeply entrenched in the qanon shit. Most of these guys can't put six sentences together that aren't cliches unless it's about stick tape or skate brands. I get that it's mostly rich kids with parents who are Trump supporters but I'm always taken back by how much some of these guys care about conspiracy theories and shit when they have the personality of Plank from Ed Edd & Eddy.
