Cool how the Blackhawks will cover for a homosexual rapist because it would be embarrassing for the organization, but won't support pride and positivity.

And by cool I mean awful.

starting to think it might be "the system"

O'Conner probably isn't very good. But also all of those players have spent huge amounts of time with Jeff Carter and also yes system AND a huge part of last year and the 'system' in general is capable defense that provides offense and oh we gutted that this offseason soooooooooooooooo hell yes.

Stars just had their pride night and Evgeni Dadonov wore the jersey, no mention of any "legal problems" for him back home in Russia

It's complete bullshit lol. They are making it up out of whole cloth to pretend to have a reason to not do the pride night outside of "our players are bigots"

News: Connor McDavid has more goals than half of Arizona's roster tonight combined. Edmonton's first powerplay unit has more points(432 combined) than Arizona's entire 20 man line-up(430 combined)
Views: gently caress the NHL/Oilers for scheduling home games at 8:30pm. The Maple leafs only had 4 home games start past 7pm, and those started at 7:30. They only had 8 away games start at 7:30pm or later.

From Mark Lazarus/Athletic here's what's still to come.

quote:

Panthers, March 23: Florida has held previous Pride nights, and players have used rainbow stick tape and worn Pride jerseys. No details for 2023 were available.

Oilers, March 25: The Oilers will not be wearing Pride jerseys in warmups. They never have, per The Athletic’s Daniel Nugent-Bowman.

Blackhawks, March 26: The Blackhawks will not wear Pride jerseys after previously announcing they would

Sabres, March 27: Buffalo’s night will “feature activations throughout the game celebrating acceptance in the sport.” The website did not mention the team’s Pride jersey plans; it did, however, mention “special warmup jerseys” for St. Patrick’s Day on March 17, and the team has worn Pride warmups in the past.

Canucks, March 31: Vancouver has held Pride nights with special jersey designs for several seasons. Their website mentions no plan to wear one on March 31, and no design has been publicly shared.

Blues, April 4: Their website mentions no plan for warmup jerseys, which they wore in 2022. Fans will receive a Pride bag.

Maple Leafs, April 4: No details were available. Last April, players wore Pride-themed T-shirts to a game that were later auctioned to benefit a local charity. They did not and have not worn warmup jerseys.

Jets, April 5: No details were available. Players have worn themed warmup jerseys in the past.

Canadiens, April 6: Montreal is hosting LGBTQ+ Night. Players have worn Pride jerseys during warmups in the past.

I used to give Dallas so much poo poo for being literally the only team one year not to make even a twitter post in support of Pride or Hockey is for Everyone, they used to have the worst track record out of any team on these subject matters. Blows me away they had a pride night go off without a hitch yesterday night and all the players including Jamie loving Benn of all people vocally supported it.

God, I'm so tired. What the hell did I post last night?
The Wild CAN be good. But will they be? This is the question that consumes the mind of everyone who watches sports in Minnesota. Hypothetically they should be able to beat the pants off of most of the rest of their schedule.

But the rule of Minnesota sports is "Trust, but verify", and we ain't had poo poo verified in thirty goddamn years. Come on, you jackasses. You hosed up the pride night and pissed away a lot of good will, including mine. I don't care what the cap looks like with those buyouts going on, we all only have so many years on this bitch of an earth. Let's see you accomplish something.

The Sabres were already selling Pride merch in the store at the arena when I was there yesterday, so I am hoping that they will do warm-up jerseys. I am bracing myself for someone on the team to come out as a homophobic rear end in a top hat though.
