How can the NHL get these guys to play at 9:45pm and 10:30pm for the next 3 games? This is ridiculous....

I think this is the only matchup with 2 back to backs, and one of those is game 6 and 7 (obviously if needed).

I think it’s eastern time so the game would be on at 645 here in the west

And ask yourself: who is manipulating you, and why?

Thanks for posting this.

So if someone said "Go Canucks Go" and rioted the city, did you call or identify them as Canuck fans? They (rioters) weren't wearing Canuck clothing for the most part, and all the rioters, for some reason, resided in the suburbs rather than Vancouver itself. This meant that they came over to the place to trash downtown when the opportunity presented itself. Yet not all Canuck fans trashed downtown. How do you resolve these diffferences in "Canuck fans"?

i dont support riots period, during the 2011 game 7. I stayed home, invited my father over for dinner.

 

We both condemned all actions of the riot regardless if they were or weren't canucks fans.

 

Same page as you re riots

I didn't hear about that. 

 

So one persons ranting negates an entire movement? I guess Rush Limbaugh has cancelled Republicans then. 

[John.Tallhouse]

Can we blow up whatever this is and get a real GDT going? I’m salty enough about the schedule, done with the political BS

Those are remarkable stats.

It's almost always the case that player production decreases in the playoffs - you can track many, many players - even the 'great' ones - and that is typically the case.

rush limbaugh is despicable.

 

If he had a movement like white lives matter and called blacks or Latino or asians sub human. 

 

That would acceptable?

 

 

Co founder of Toronto blm, a community leader and sets guidelines.

So now you're defending racism as long as its black on white?

[oldnews]

Can anyone tell me what "race" consists of?

 

Serious question. 

 

I'd like to start a discussion from the 'ground' up - see if there is any reasonable, non-partisan, non-ideological grounding to be gained - before proceeding to all the divisiveness that ensues once most people take their positions within opposing, battling herds.

 

It's disconcerting how entrenched so many people can get - without being able to answer something as "simple" as the original matter that underlies an entire (global) dynamic like this.

 

What - exactly - is "race" in the sense that we're fighting/arguing about?

 

I've spent a long time thinking about this - researching it - scientifically and socially/culturally - and the 'answers' are weak at best once you really dig into the history of "race"  - but before I do that I'm wondering if anyone can give a solid answer to that question above.

 

I'm also wondering if it's worth a thread of it's own - a purely 'philosophical' thread that doesn't really descend into the micro/minutae that we often get caught up in.

If the mods think it's fitting, I'd be happy to start one and outline where I'm coming from on the matter.

Would it belong in "Canucks" talk under the circumstances - given the team itself has engaged in the matter?

Or should it go to 'off topic' - which imo it isn't, really, under the circumstances?

what? 

 

I asked you if she comes by her anger honestly. I didn't ask you anything about how she's chosen to express it.
