Agreed. If the leagues and players want to actually do something how about donating body cams to the police so that it makes it easier for them to do their jobs and less easier for the bad cops to take advantage of their position. Put a cam on all cops and watch things change.
Postponing games does nothing to help the cause by either side so i dont understand what canceling games does.

I hope that's the case as his play dropped way off but if so why did they force him into the lineup hurt when they have other options?

AV apparently seemed to hint that Laughton was unavailable in his press conference today. Said something along the lines of "can't talk about availability". I think if he were just a coaches decision, that would've been OK to say.

Hockey players try to play as long as a limb isn't detached. That being said, I have to question whether it is a nagging injury as his play has dropped off significantly since they entered the bubble. I highly doubt he would be forced to play. It's more likely he told the trainer and AV that he was fine and is trying to play through something.

You are most likely correct although he was pretty good in the round robin but seemed to lose half his speed and hockey brain in the Montreal series.

Does anyone know when the next game is? Is it tomorrow?
I would guess that they'll just play on Sat and push everything back. Could be more back to backs now but it was already ridiculous to have them.

Yes, what about the next time this happens, walk out again?
It's stupid, sports is supposed to be a release from all the other BS going on, politics doesn't belong in sports. Unfortunately it's becoming a trend.

Like I said previously why not actually do something to help the cause like pay for police body cams. This does virtually nothing but attempt to be politically correct. People will just move on and the actual problem isn't resolved.

Agreed on the Hart point. With this extra day (hopefully...the ONLY) of rest he's gotta be back in between the pipes.

And Varlamov has a couple extra days to think about being yanked in the 1st period. I'm sure they will go back to him.

He was going to start tonight as he barely played last night so no advantage for the piles but you are right may be a disadvantage as he has more time to think about it. Hayes coming down the wing.....

Sorry I meant disadvantage to him as he now has Hayes coming down the wing in his dreams for a few more nights haha! In reality having Hart fresh is huge.
