The NHL is Back!!

Well they had some guy kneel for it, then played the Canadian anthem where he stood. Didn’t realize racism was such an American problem and we are so inferior to Canada.

Yeah, that ticked me off. He plays for the Minnesota Wild and is a Canadian of philipino descent. Kneel for your own anthem!! The two black players playing in the game didn't kneel. I guess the NHL is just trying to "keep up with the Jones's".

I hope that's the end of it...

Hockey is much more tolerable. Sports have to be recorded on DVR so I can start watching 15min or so after they start and just fast forward until the action has started.

I think baseball did something like a time to kneel before the anthem. Some guys still knelt for the anthem.

I do all of my kneeling in church.

Well it IS hockey.

Maybe the other players can "take care of it" during the course of the game.......Wouldn't THAT be nice to watch?

We are a hockey family. We used to have Stars season tickets until my son started playing. Now with his expenses we watch him play live and Stars on TV. I am kinda torn on this. It is great to to watch now but it will mess up the next year.

Hockey is Canadian soccer with sticks isn’t?

On skates. Don't forget that.

Now, you can go back to watching the WNBA!

The AI crowd noise in the background is creepy

They also put a collage of fans from the home team on the big screens. That might be worse than the crowd noise. Oh well. At least they are playing!

They have to have some “crowd noise” so the TV cameras don’t pick up the on ice back and forth between players. There would not be enough bleeps in the world.


GO STARS!

From the Chicago Tribune:

Minnesota’s Matt Dumba became the first NHL player to kneel during the U.S. national anthem when he did so before the opening playoff game between the Oilers and Blackhawks in Edmonton, Alberta.

Dumba knelt at center ice on Saturday while fellow Black players Malcolm Subban of Chicago and Darnell Nurse of Edmonton each stood with a hand on one of his shoulders.

With the message “END RACISM” on the video screens around him, the Wild defenseman made a passionate speech about racial injustice on behalf of the league

His last name is literally... dumb a.

NHL playoffs are beginning right now! I'm pumped to finally be able to watch some live sports!

Best sporting event I've ever been to was a Stanley Cup Playoff Game...
