I actually did. I gave you the way to answer your question.
If you dont want to hear about it, I guess dont ask questions directly related to it.
Playing in Russia has nothing to do with the war and the fact that this is your only point is actually comical. Especially since Russia has been painted this awful picture by the media when in reality it’s the exact opposite. Russia isn’t a bad place to play

How sad is your life that you would sign a contract in Russia.... now?
Like play in the ECHL if you are that desperate to be considered a pro hockey player.
Going to Russia, RIGHT NOW..... is embarrassing.
Good luck coming back to see any of your friends or family any time soon.
What’s wrong with playing in russia?

Gaddafi, Hussein, Taliban are all good in his books and completely innocent. There's no reasoning with these people, and responding seriously would result in me getting banned.
You guys are idiots man seriously. I’ve given you factual accounts of the events that occurred and you still can’t comprehend it.
im still the bad guy here. Start reading instead of watching cnn and western propaganda.
At this point I’m ending this transmission as it’s impossible to discuss anything with you guys. This is what is most frustrating with cdc, aside from hockey. The title should be welcome to cdc where you can speak your mind ONLY if It’s on the same train of thought as us.

None of this garbage will matter when they start the season 2-7-1 next season, also all the people happy about these wins are ok with being mediocre and not having any star players on their team, the top 5 in this draft are star players, something the Canucks roster does not have right now
Everyone cheering for this team to win will be cursing this team next season when they stumble out of the gates and everyone will cry “why didn’t they tankkkkkk” or “we could’ve had a star player”
but that’s ok. Let’s go 10th OA!!!

I don't think that you've come up with you own conclusions, but it is not a point
You know , there are many guys like you out there , especially among the Russian community. Guys who live in the one of the major Western country, in Western society, and hate the whole Western system, call it "evil", "dictatorship", etc. It must be really hard for you to live in society that you hate so much, I almost feel sorry for you.
But strange thing- you hate it here and continue to live here. Why torture yourself? This is a puzzle I can not solve. Last time I checked- it is still a free country and you are free to go and live in any country in the world. Try Russia , hopefully you'll be happy over there.
Western world (america) is evil. America is the only country in the world that can invade another for its own purpose and get away with it.
afghanistan - the taliban wanted to eradicate opium from their country and were very close. At the time, they supplied the world with 20% of opium. America wasn’t having it. They invaded, after the invasion Afghanistan is supplying the world with 80% of opium.
Iraq - a country that was in order with Hussein. America left Iraq with trillions of dollars. Oil/gold. Absolutely raped that country.
Libya - Gaddafi gave its citizens free water, free healthcare, extremely cheap gas, kept all the tribesmen happy by sharing revenue from oil sales, he amassed 234 tons of gold making Libya one of the most richest countries in the world. Gaddafi refused american influence and introduced project gold dinar which was accepted by all major African governments, however, it would’ve caused absolute chaos for western financial system. America turned its people on gaddafi via propaganda. Gaddafi is killed, Libya is now in ruins. ** on a side note, even my family doctor who is from Benghazi, has told me that when Gaddafi was in charge it was a very nice well run country. The second he left, it was left in ruins and so much violence that he took his family and fled Benghazi
Panama - Noriega is making BILLIONS of dollars by running cocaine through the Panama cannel, america wanted a taste of those billions. They go to war and get it.
Venezuela - one of the richest countries of natural resources in the world yet they are pretty much bankrupt. Why? America wanted it all, and Venezuela refused, America sanctioned the fack out of them. They have oil, but cannot refine it.
vietnam - they didn’t give a crap about the south. The only reason they went to vietnam was out of fear of China spreading its ideologies and communism in that part of Asia.
America does not like Putin and once again, like other dictatorships, they want him gone. But they know they cannot go 1 v 1 with Russia so they pump up ukraine to stick it to Russia. They are fighting Russia through ukraine. Even calling for his arrest.
Yeah you guys are right, russia is evil and much worse than America.
turkey was absolutely destroyed, and are still experiencing minor quakes today, let’s send them 10 mill to help out, but let’s send billions to Ukraine to help fund death.
And no I don’t hate it here in Canada, aside from the stupid taxes, health care and ridiculous real estate prices! And no I’m not Russian.

No, hesitation in play especially with D trying to stretch pass instead of 3 man easy break out.. forwards out of position for long passes because they were too far away and would be picked off easily and a wait too long for a guy to get open would end up a turn-over in our end a LOT of the time and only Demko standing on his head saved us from losing/looking much worse.
That's only part of it too.. but that's what I meant, and it exposed our lack of speed that Green probably adopted a "long game" trying to move the puck quicker by long passes instead of short quick ones moving up methodically by committee closer together.
Do I know for sure if Green or Willy D started it first? No but it makes sense under certain circumstances but that's what happens if by committee is skipped and relies on anything else but.
The best teams in the league do it and always have done it to win cups, seldom has it been done here to the degree it needs to be but maybe RT will change that so it sticks like 2012, 1994, 1982 etc.. those teams were good at it too and that's why we had success but not enough depth... Hence no cup
Ah sorry my fault. You’re right as well with this point. Spot on.
Lol my comment does seem stupid now after reading your explanation.

So your going to.point to one single incident that has nothing to do with what I was saying?
Try that again k?
I took your comment as in, green had an influence to not hit anyone. I only assumed this because no one finished their checks, no one hit. And for me, that memory started with Jake hitting mcdavid, and after that I can’t remember a single big hit

Because you're spewing the same garbage as Putin and the rest of his Nazi regime. There's no reason for anyone to make excuses for time Russians or to treat their orcs the same as actual people, but the Ukrainians still do so. If you actually think the US is worse than the Putin, seek professional help.
Lmao you really need to figure out the real reasons America invaded Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan and learn the role they played in the fall of Gaddafi and Venezuela’s current financial crises.

Well, I am an Ukrainian myself and I am totally understand what you are saying. You've just repeated a typical ruski propaganda , word by word.
How can it be ruski propaganda when every media outlet is for Ukraine. There is nothing supporting Russia out there. I’ve come up with my own conclusions, just as I’ve come up with the fact that American government is the most vial scum dictatorship in the world, they just rotate new faces every 4 years.

Sorry friend; you are far from open minded.
How? If you show me facts, with anything. I could say Canucks are this, but if you come at me with Canucks are that…. I’m going to say… my goodness, I had no idea thank you. My mindset has changed .
so give me facts. I know for a fact Ukraine has been recorded to killing unarmed, wounded, incapacitated Russian soldiers, the very definition of war crime.

That too BUT Giraffe does make "some" really good plays too. Just like the rest of the team that still has a bit of what I call "Green hesitation"
I think it's mostly gone now but not completely for the majority of the roster, we still hesitate too much but it's better.
D seems to have it the worst and that's where it's the most costly and glaring if it leads to goals against.
I noticed it the most when Willy D was here and it just continued..
I was hoping it would be addressed and it is finally it's looking like but it needs a LOT more practice for everyone, not just Giraffe..
Lol “green hesitation”. Facts. I remember when jake destroyed mcdavid with a clean hit (penalized regardless). He was spoken to by either willie or green and that was the day jake never hit the same again.

Shares one trait with Huggy Bear .... his stretch passes are mini slapshots.
And exact opposite of Myers - instant decision making, puck on his stick and gone, not like our giraffe (fishing around his skates to find it, then dithering for 3 seconds looking for someone to pass to, then serving up a pizza)
Very impressive debut
Not to mention the fact he’s been injured and off for awhile!

I think you’re a Russophile using terrible arguments to defend and excuse Russian actions.
You’re blaming Ukraine for being attacked by Russia, and then you’re blaming Ukrainians for the bombings of hospitals by bringing wounded people to tide hospitals to get treated after they’ve already been wounded…and you call it taking refuge??
Ukrainians taking refuge in their own apartments are legitimate targets??
I can’t actually believe I’m hearing this nonsense from someone on this Board.
I hope your post gives many others pause. I hope they get an understanding of what it looks like when brainwashed real people regurgitate Kremlin propaganda.
The fact that you think the Ukrainians in hospitals and apartment buildings are
legitimate targets, is beyond disconcerting and disappointing.
Oh my god. You are not understanding anything that im saying. It is absolutely pointless to discuss these topics with someone with a fixated train of thought. I’m not wasting any of my energy on this. All the best

Again, this is blatant whataboutism without acknowledging the actual atrocities committed by Putin and his acolytes.
Do support what Russia has and is doing is Ukraine?
Are you educated on the subject of the war crimes committed by Russia in Ukraine?
Why do you think the majority of the world’s countries have condemned Putin and Russia?
Has any other leader had a warrant out for their arrest been issued because of their decisions in an illegal war? Do you think Russia’s invasion and continued war are legal or justifiable?
Ukraine was warned not to flirt with the idea of joining nato, if that wasn’t enough they broke the peace agreement by flying unmanned drones into Russian airspace. They broke the Minsk agreement.
am I for Russia? I am for no one. No one “wins” a war. Both sides are hurting. Senseless deaths. Especially the innocent. You speak of “illegal war” and “war crimes” and I hate using America as an example but were you this passionate when America invaded Iraq and having a direct involvement in the deaths of 400,000 innocent women, children and men? Were you this passionate about the Afghanistan people when America was directly involved in the deaths of almost 90,000 innocent women children and men? What about with Israel and Palestine? Passionate about that conflict?
you hate Russia so much do you have any clue the crimes America committed? They are the only country that can enter another country, take all their resources by force, rape and pillage and come hone with smiles on their faces because well,…. “America”again, I can factual get into details about the real reasons they invaded Iraq, Afghanistan, their involvement with the fall of gaddafi in Libya, their involvement with Venezuela “bankruptcy”.
I know everything there is to know about war crimes. Pls don’t act like Ukraine hasn’t either? They take refuge in hospitals, apartment buildings and launch attacks from there thinking they are safe. What do you think will happen? Its rather exhausting how everyone’s ripping into Russia when they cheer on other countries who have done far far worse things than Russia has ever done!
anyways, I appreciate how passionate you are about all this. I respect everyone’s opinion and am open minded about any subject.

I did? Citation please.
“Every country” tries to illegally annex parts and then the whole territory of neighbouring countries while commiting genocide? Please, do tell.
Thankfully the IIHF doesn’t feel the way you do.
Terrible attempts at whataboutism and false equivalency and basic if/then logic.I said “you act”. Meaning the way you are going off about all of this this is like Russia is pure evil and the only country that has invaded another. Lol if they are banning countries like that then America should theoretically be banned permanently in every sport.
I respect your opinion but if you really want me to spit facts and compare America’s atrocities to Russia’s then I can. But it’s about hockey in this thread.

Russia illegally invaded and butchered women and children in the most heinous ways imaginable.
Ukraine didn’t ask for this war and are defending their country, people and right to exist.
Yes, this is a case of good vs ‘evil’. Not letting the Russians play hockey at an international event is the bare minimum that ought to happen to it nationally as a consequence.
You act like no other country has invaded another one and did not commit war crimes. You realize every country does it, including the great United States of America. I’ve seen interviews of America troops admitting to killing children because “they posed a threat to the men”.
anyways. This is about hockey, and I feel hockey doesn’t belong in politics therefor all countries should be allowed to play. Players had nothing to do with what’s going on in Ukraine. If they are banning the team and players of russia, should Russian born players in the nhl be allowed to play. Of course they should!

I wish one of these “Christian’s” would have the balls to stand up and do the opposite.
It would be refreshing to hear them say you know what MY religion teaches love and acceptance that’s why I’m choosing to wear this jersey tonight.
Unfortunately there’s too many zealots in that religion it would seem.
Spot on!!!

Bunch of closet homophobic hypocrites.
They claim that their bible says they can’t support it despite that only being said in one version of the Old Testament. Yet they ignore all of the other stuff that Jesus said to do conveniently.
I assume James also gives away most of his money and helps feed the poor?
He’s using Christianity as an excuse. Why do people always bring god and religion into this. Why not just say, I don’t want to wear it because I don’t want to support it.
anyways, give me 6 mill a year and I’ll wear a pride shirt all year round!
