They have the freedom of choice and the freedom of conscience before they arrive to their choice of joining Canadian pro hockey markets that support equality for people who’ve been stepped on and made to feel unequal in the sport of hockey for over a century. Give the Russians a break? Give the gay men who never got a break to become hockey players, a break. Give the Ukrainians a break. Give me a break. Give it a rest. Equality and multiculturalism is ingrained into the fibre of Canada and needs to be encouraged, defended and enforced. Privately or Publicly. Putting themselves in those positions? They live in a dictatorship. What choice do they have? You’ve also contradicted your stance by suggesting they leave said positions to join a democratic nation to make their livelihoods. Ukraine oppression, gay oppression, and oppression of any kind are not mutually exclusive things. Russians face persecution for fleeing and not following conformist ideologies ran by fascist ideologues. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He just screams “look at the record look at the record!!” To justify his belief in ripping it all apart, with no consideration of how many things actually went wrong this year that shouldn’t be an issue next year. This team, with healthy demko, and Hronek + beavillier instead of Horvat is already miles better than the team we iced most of the season. Add a 3C and we’re a playoff bubble team. Add a penalty killer, and a defensive defensman and now we could potentially do some damage. #WeAreGoldStar should help us achieve most of those goals... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You probably will if the team puts a better defence in front of him and stop over-playing him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are more than able to make more than enough money there for themselves and for their families. What a crock of crap. Oh the ‘poor persecuted Russians’, meanwhile Bucha says hello.

Nor will most Canuck supporters. I expect full Pride support from all the Russian players on the Canuck team. Otherwise, it will affect their support here. Anyone who would rather not wear a pride jersey should not be forced or coerced to do so. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep. Well said. Russians are human beings too that just want to live their lives, and unless someone picks up a weapon to fight for Putin, they’re innocent. It’s a dictatorship, not like they even had a choice. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hockeyfan-observer Posted March 22, 2023 Share Posted March 22, 2023 Great match up tonight - gotta good feeling someone like Boeser may step up. Two 8-2 past 10 game teams tonight with the Canucks having last change. Coupled with Demko playing absolutely unreal, I think Canucks will win 4-1 tonight. Huggy and Petey will probably play close to 30/25+ mins respectively if they are to win. They have been playing so well that they will likely pass 4 teams - Calgary, Detroit, Washington and Buffalo pretty soon so really moving up the standings.right now.after chasing pretty much all year. With this streak, giving the fans some hope for a quick start in October. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Witch hunts are everyone's favourite pastime now. Fun Fact: at 1:45 minute mark Eric Idle has to bite down on his scythe to prevent himself from laughing. John Cleese’s long pause ( excellent comedic timing) was too much for Eric and he almost blew the shot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
