Pretty bad how silent Bettman and Daly have been on these Pride Night snubs by various players, in my opinion. I guess silence means compliance, right Gary?

That’s a shame, I liked Reimer.

I find it cowardly to try and hide bigotry behind religion. They never bring up religion for any of its other associated wackado beliefs, just when they don’t like gays
picking their spots, that's for sure

I find it more likely that the NHL (or, maybe even more likely, the PA) start banning teams from having guys do warmups in these jerseys because the backlash the players are getting for not wanting to participate.

And as fucked as it is, there’s even greater “inclusion” issues at play here - there’s a reason NBA teams don’t have their guys wearing rainbow-colored gear on the benches and during shoot around on their Pride Nights despite them wearing different shirts for things like Black History Month and Latino Nights where every team puts “Los” before their nicknames on their jerseys.

Since James Reimer is being a spot-picker, allow me to do the same...

Colossians 3:12-13

"Therefore, as God's choice, holy and loved, put on compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience. Be tolerant with each other and, if someone has a complaint against anyone, forgive each other. As the Lord forgave you, so also forgive each other."

Imagine having a problem wearing these beauties?!? Give your head a shake, James.

I know it's just semantics, but it makes me irrationally annoyed when the refs call completely the wrong penalty.

And I don't mean that they call a penalty when they shouldn't, but when they call a clear trip or a punch in the face something like hooking or interference.

Like, how can it be interference when you hit a guy who is carrying the puck? Or a hook when his stick is stuck in the guy's skate?

For just a split second you respect and like Burke when he says stuff like this. But then it is gone when you realize it is Burke.

I find him more often than not on the right side of issues, but he's such a blowhard that he certainly rubs people the wrong way.

I mean, James Reimer deserves scorn. All that he can get.

But why are we acting like the Rangers, Islanders, Wild and Flyers didn't already have this problem? The only name we've heard besides Reimer is Provorov. Name the bigots.

U


We need bigger nets!!
Yeah, there's no way a 6'5"/212lb goaltender - for example, I don't know, a Finnish guy with a bunch of Ks in his name - would ever give up 7 on these tiny nets.

Seriously though. The Rangers last two games. 13 GF's 0 GA's granted they played the shitty Penguins and Predators but still pretty damn impressive.

During their 4 game win streak 22GF's 5 GA's.
