Can someone explain why crazy people have politicized this death? It was done in a UK league that I, and assumedly 99% of other people, have not heard of before. Other than race, I feel like I’m missing something.

We have the capability to make San Jose's first Cup Champion.

The Sharks could be that Champion.

If the guy's reaction time, situational awareness and coordination were good enough to do that intentionally he'd have been in much higher level hockey.
Counterpoint: if his ability to handle the puck is as good as his ability to time hits, hard to see a market for him in any higher league even were he capable of pulling off such ice ballerina poo poo at will.

And to be clear, I'm not saying he did it on purpose, just that it's really hard to understand what he actually was going for. But I also haven't seen a video that shows him clipping his target such that it caused him to overbalance in this way.

Reminds me of 2010ish when I was on holiday going through Canada, saw Winnipeg play Montreal's AHL team, PK Subban was playing for them and a few people in the crowd were abusing him at every opportunity. I thought haha that’s funny give poo poo to the hot Montreal prospect. Then some other black guy (assume a 4th liner as he barely played) came on and got the same treatment and I was like oh..that’s not funny anymore.

They trademarked six mediocre names but haven’t officially announced them: Toronto Torch, New York Sound, Montreal Echo, Minnesota Superior, Ottawa Alert, and Boston Wicked

Like, would love actual professional women’s hockey but this is not off to a great start.

and the rumor is that the New York Sound are playing in Connecticut and the Boston Wicked are set to play in... Lowell.

I was one of the roughly 400 adults who attended a Pride game and I am certainly not driving to loving Lowell for this.

In the last couple games the Kraken have looked like poo poo but their youth movement 4th line with Shane Wright and Ryan Winterton who were called up to fill in for injuries did great with 67% XG share. So of course they have been immediately sent back to the AHL today.

Toronto is playing in the old Maple Leaf Gardens building which is kind of cool. It's now just a 2600 seat arena used by one of the local universities with the rest of the building carved up into the rest of their athletic department facilities/gym and a grocery store.

So good location, but hopefully they outgrow the size and move up.

This means very little when they played 10 and 7 minutes respectively.

What you saw on Saturday and Monday are the holes in Hakstol’s “system” of be faster than the other team not working.
