I mentioned this in the other post about this topic, but I’m going to mention it again here - look up Sheldon Kennedy if you have time to spare. He’s an incredible activist for protecting kids in sport, especially at the elite level where the goal is to make it & do whatever you have to to get there (his was making…

If you’ve never heard of Sheldon Kennedy, I highly recommend looking him up. Theo Fleury, too, but I mention Kennedy specifically because he is very active as an advocate for victims of abuse - sexual abuse of children & youth, specifically. His story is sadly one of many, and as difficult as it no doubt is, he is…

I’ve heard that Portland is basically ready to go. I guess it just makes too much sense, so you know the NHL won’t do it. 😐

Milbury didn’t sleep a wink last night.

Yes, but what did he do during the warm-up?

NHL owners, eh?...

Like I say, I wouldn’t be able to sing the regular version accurately, so no, I don’t want any ADDITIONAL verses, lol.

I wouldn’t be able to sing the American lyrics 100%, but close enough to fake it & make it look like I know what I’m doing, so props to the Edmontonians.

I guess that answers my question about mercy rules.

OH MAN, SOMEONE SEDATE MILBURY...  https://twitter.com/PeteBlackburn/status/858398567349833733?s=09

The excessive bits DURING the game seem far more disrespectful to me than just doing your thing during warm-ups, when others are doing their own warming up & probably aren’t paying attention to whatever PK’s doing.

But this was just the warm-ups.

Should he rap him on the head with a shoe?

I was speaking specifically about the posts where Deadspin posts emails from readers, not Dems or Reps as a whole. Those emails from readers posts are always pretty colourful.

Well, at least most of these folk were civil, unlike the ones who tell you to shove Obummer up your libtard ass & whatnot. I expected far more vitriol. I feel like this shouldn’t make me feel so relieved. Low bar, I guess.

And then giggle when they repeatedly say “intent to blow” because you are, in reality, 12 years old. Or maybe that’s just me.

Well THAT didn’t work.

I love both (though PK WAAAAYYYYY more, & Marchand only because he was SO good for Canada at the WCH and I am easily bought) but HOT DAMN that video is awesome
