Idc about Don or Ron, I’m here the GDT, lets go Nucks!
Amen to that.
Hockey usually unites us all as Canadians.
Pacific Div race is very tight. Nux can't afford to go on a losing streak. Gotta stop it today.

39 minutes ago, Boudrias said:Last month I visited the Holten and Beny Sur Mer cemeteries in Holland and France. There are over 3400 Canadian men buried there. When Don showed frustration with fellow Canadians not recognizing the sacrifice those men made by buying a poppy I was 100% with him. The faux outrage that is popular now a days by those who have to react to a heartfelt plea like that made by Don Cherry is more than sad. Cherry's comment about new Canadians understanding the sacrifice made by so many Canadian soldiers was very worthwhile. Where do they gain that knowledge other than attending a cenotaph on the 11th or by the simple gesture of buying a poppy. Nothing racist in the slightest about what he said.
Much of the memory of WW II will die with us boomers. Our parents fought in that war. We heard what they went thru. I never forget my father buying a man dinner in a diner. The man was very drunk and talking to himself. On our way home I asked my Dad who that man was. My Dad said he was a hero from the war and that was all he said. When Don Cherry walks thru those cemeteries in Europe it always brings a tear to my eye. He is a patriot and works for vets year after year.
Not sure if that Don is angry about immigrants or just the younger generation. But I did not like him pointing out new immigrants. That is inflammatory and ignorant. But anyone who has seen his act over the decades should not be surprised at all. Taking about poppies is a silly topic though.
First, poppies were from WWI, which was a stupid war. But honoring the vets is a right thing. They fought when their country asked/drafted them, and should be honored and remembered even when the war was stupid. In the US, no one wears it but they care a lot about Veterans Day.
Poppies that Don is talking about are just cheap plastics that are bad for environment. I am not sure what wearing one does in proving you are a patriot. We have Rememberance Day, we teach our kids about it at school, kids draw or make art about it. We make visitors aware of what that day is for. In high school, I played Last Post as a solo trumpeter in Steveston High school gymnasium. One of my proudest solo performances.
You think more immigrants will start wearing that fake flower because of Don's rant?
Poppies also have stupid connection to Opium Wars in 19th century. Not exactly a great symbolism.
Millions died in Europe and Asia, where those supposedly immigrants Cherry is calling out. More of them died and sacrificed than North Americans, and certainly more than Canada by the numbers. Anyone with some history knowledge appreciate what the Allies did in liberating their homelands in Europe and Asia. Yeah, they just care about the milk and honey, that's what Don is saying. Great. People move all over the world to Canada for that.
Back to hockey.

Injuries and fatigue vs a heavy team.
Guys are not sharp, missing passes and shots. Had some looks, but Hellyboy was good.
Get on a good home stand and they will be ok.
