  1. There are many ways to remember and honor the war dead. No one in US wears them except the hockey guys. Majority have no clue what it means. But Americans are big on veterans day. Each person can pay their respects in their own way. The whole argument/rant by Don was so stupid. Wearing a poppy or not means nothing. Acknowledging the war and cost of lives is meaningful and showing the surviving vets some respect is proper. Attacking immigrants is just racist and ignorant. He could have used his pulpit in a much more effective way. But no, he likes to antagonize because "he tells it like it is". For current and future generations, they need to understand why wars were fought. Many of the freedoms we have now have actually came much later after the WWII. Black and white Americans did not go fight racism when they killed Nazis in Europe, or the Japanese in Pacific. They fought becuase their country drafted them or felt the need to enlist because their country or allies were in danger. Many jews on refugee ships were actually turned away by US, only to be slaughtered in nazi concentration camps. Returning black soldiers from WWII could not go to the same restaurants or washrooms as white people and also can't vote. They didn't go to wars to fight for freedom in their own land. It was freedom from the invaders. Even after WWII, France was unwilling to give up their colonies in Indochina. A country that surrendered to Nazis in less than a month, still felt they were superior to Asians. It took decades of civil rights action and protests to get the freedoms we have now for all, which used to belong only to a few. Women had to fight for it too. Glorification of war without some tough discussions doesn't make us a better society.
  2. At least we won't have any more complaints about Coaches corner on Nux GDT.
  3. Vegas and Ana both lost. Nux still in the mix in top 3. Just have to turn it around ASAP.
  4. I am surprised he even kept playing. True pro trying to help his team while dealing with a bigger challenge. Can also explains his displays of anger breaking all those sticks. It can wear you out. Hope the entire team rally for eachother and help him through this.
  5. Nov turning out to be make or break month again. Not giving up on this squad yet. They need to play their way out of this slump. Young team facing real adversity. If they were playing above expectations in Oct, they are playing below now. So this team should be better than this. Laws of averages. Fighting for a wild card spot at the end of the season is what I expected in preseason. So I am not overly surprised, just upset about the wild swings.
  6. Those 2 goals in 22 secs did them in. Can't give up back to back goal like that. Unlucky or what not. If you have puck possession after a goal that will not happen. When offense is in slump, tight D is the only way to win.
  7. The slide is real. No sugar coating it. Everyone needs to be better 10% next game. Green needs to bag skate the guys. Send some down to AHL or whatever.
  8. When offense is struggling, the D has to be sharp to have a chance of winning. They are not doing well at either end at the moment.
  9. Pearson havent been very good. Good that he's off the top line and hope it will get him to re-energize his game. Lot of size with JV on that line. Gaudette deserves to play over Lui. If nux dont go down to 5 D men today, they will win.
