I am more about what the "TEAM" looks like as opposed to what happens to certain players. If I want to strengthen my top 6, I need someone who is fast, can hit/protect the young guys(Petey,Boes) and produce offensively. Does LE fit that bill? Speaking of Boes an Petey. They are young and need some seasoning, so what does Green do? He throws them out there in the playoffs together and expects them to perform. Yet he has inulated Jake for years playing with Sutter etc. on the 3rd and 4th lines. LE WAS a good top 6 player, before he came to Vancouver. NEWSFLASH!! he isn't anymore. The only time Green makes these "Great Moves" is when he is forced to so due to injury or, in this case, when an injured player returns.

You said none of thoses things? I was quoting you directly! You don't need to explain to me I was trying to explain to you. The fact still remains, racism exists and racism exists in police forces. Period. You can minimilize it, construe it with numbers, blame it on the media if you like, the fact remains. People hate other people simply because of the color of their skin. Silly as it sounds , some people think like that. I , myself, think it should be treated like any other mental illness because that is not any different then thinking there are imaginary people after you and they worship Satan. It is not the proper perception on reality and most people do not think like that. Oh yeah, can we get back to talking about hockey.

OK, so that guy that was sleeping in his car at a restaraunt was "putting lives at risk"? How about Mr. Floyd? Was he "putting lives at risk "sitting in a police car handcuffed? Actually you could actually "commit a crime and run away" as a police officer is in pursuit and its too dangerous to continue, he stops the pursuit. You are still not making the distinction between the kid and the chcolate bar and a suspect wanted for murder. You fail to see the difference. People who are racist make the same mistake, they think if one black person is a criminal then they are all criminals. It's OK, it takes some of us a little longer to figure that out. p.s. and I am not sure what GTA is.

You are so out of touch with police procedure. Do you think we live in the wild wild west? So by your definition, if a kid steals a chocolate bar and he doesn't comply with a police officer the officer can use lethal force? So a guy sleeping in a parking lot takes off from a police officer he has a right to shoot him in the back? I don't know how Mr. Floyd was "not complying" when he was hand cuffed and sitting in the back of a police car. There are a lot more stipulations behind using lethal force then just "not complying" with a police officer. A child stealing a chocolate bar gets treated far different then a suspect wanted for murder. "Common sense" has to be used somewhere in these fiasco's, but I guess you have to have common sense in the first place.

Its funny how people only see what they want to see. Way back when Petey was getting the extra attention he should have been insulated with some bigger experienced players. How long has he been in the league now? Jake has been inserted into the top 6 a couple of times AND produced. He is a big body who sticks up for his team mates. BUT, Green is too busy playing "DADDY" and refuses to put him in the top 6 on a regular basis. SO...........Petey has to wait until now to get the proper players to play with? He has to wait until Toffoli is back in the line up? And like I said, previous chemistry was already established with Bo and Boes and Pearson and Toffoli. Yet, he only waits until now to put them together? I guess better late then never.

I know a little about arrest and control and there are procedures and protocols that must be followed when doing so. Shooting someone in the back or shooting someone when they are running away from you or pullling a guy out of your vehicle while handcuffed and then kneeling on his neck for 10 minutes does not consitute proper procedure and protocol in police work. There are many examples of people being treated differently while under police investigation and I don't think they need to be explained on here. Don't think we need to look at numbers as I believe ONE person is too many that should be treated like this.

No matter how you sugar coat the topic the fact of the matter is that people are getting murdered strictly because of the color of their skin. Some peope are just too dumb to evolve as a species. Do we treat our pets differently soley based on the color of their fur? How ridiculous. If this planet has more people that think like Trump we are seriously in trouble and riots will be the least of our worries.

So are you implying that the media is making this tragedy a tool for political gain? Do you think Black people should just roll over and take it? I am pretty sure if this was happening to you your position would be a lot different. Privilege is just that, it never happens to me so why should I care , right? Lets just go on like nothing like this is happening in our society, its a lot easier right?

No disrespect but that was 8 months ago and his point streak was what, when they were scoring empty net goals? He has not improved since then and he also sat in the press box for quite a bit of time after that as well. Talking about playoffs? Yeah he has zero points in 10 games so not sure how that old article adds anything to this conversation.

I fully agree, the no "give up", work every shift is exactly like that team. Bo elevating his game in the playoffs like Linden. Everyone on the team seemingly on the "same page", sticking up for themselves and their team mates. Everyone playing responsible defensively. Markstrom , for the most part, being calm and collective game after game, like McLean. The mental toughness and character on this team is the part that is so like 94. The term "team" was used loosely over the years, but this year? We have a TEAM. I am So excited for the next few years with these guys.

Petey is a far superior player to the Sedins, he has learned the whole package and has not let himself be OK with what he already has. That is a true sign of a Champion in which he will hoist a Cup eventually to prove it. Bo is the same as this version of our Captain. To elevate your game when it means the most only comes from very special players. Bo was good in the regular season but he has been GREAT , in the playoffs. This team is composed of players that exude those attributes which makes them far superior to the 2011 team IMO. That plumber, work like, attitude has not been seen on this team for decades, especially from the stars.
