Ongoing NHL Thread Part V minutes for fighting

[sabresfaninthesouth]

Who is dumb enough to sucker punch an NHL player and if someone did indeed do that how are they not dead? That dog don't hunt.

Also, Logan's lived in the States for 10 years and hasn't gotten citizenship? The fuck you waiting for?

Honest question, why bother?

I can understand if you're coming from a place where your movements and such are significantly limited that there's benefit to getting citizenship, but coming from Canada, what's the incentive beyond voting?

It isn't easy for many but pro athletes get it done often.

Maybe so. It probably wouldn't be a big deal for him to get his green card instead of play on a visa. Then he would have to just make the US his permanent residence.

Wants to live in a warmer climate?

My sister-in-law married an American and has lived/worked in the States for over 35 years now and has never sought American citizenship. My wife's theory is that she wanted to retain her Canadian citizenship just in case the sheep started hitting the fan in America.

Dont know Logan's background, but where in the tweets does he say he is NOT a US citizen?

He did tweet out that he didn't vote - Now does that mean he can't vote or he decided not to vote

Stay in the US after your playing days are over?

Right, could be interpreted different ways. I assumed the latter, since he starts with a comment about thinking about voting R. Would not expect him to "think" about it if it was not possible.

I think the only real takeaway here is going to Twitter looking for empathy and using Trump's name is a plan doomed to fail.

Time to blow the dust off my "first US voting experience" story.

So I moved to Georgia 20 years ago (wow time flies) and went to vote in the 2000 elections. At the polling station they had a list on the wall identifying acceptable forms of ID to prove who you are. One was a fishing license and another was your concealed carry permit

You have several "I am not in Canada anymore" moments when you cross that border!

That is for sure.

My mother in law has been here since she was a teen and she has to be a couple hundred angry years old now. She never became a citizen just in case she had health issues and needed to go back to Holland to get care.

Think the second response from him proves he can't:

My wife and I did a cross-country trip from San Francisco to Atlanta in 1996 and the Ford Aerostar rental van we were driving broke down in Fort Smith, Arkansas (huge Planters peanut factory with a giant Mr. Peanut out front lol). At any rate, a Arkansas state trooper was very helpful to my wife and I and arranged a tow truck for us and got us into a hotel just down the street from our broken down van. I think he took pity on us because he thought we were dumb Canadians (that was a map in the gas station of America, but when I pointed north of Montana to indicate where I was from, he probably thought these people are idiots lol).

Many guys live out their lives in cities they made their careers in. Their kids go to school there. They pay millions in taxes there.

I'd want a say in how the place is governed if that were me. Especially if you're the kinda guy who's going to talk politics to strangers lol

Holland doesn't allow dual citizenship, so I don't blame her for not trading it in for USA.

There are only two things I can't stand in this world: People who are intolerant of other people's cultures and the Dutch.

I thought she had dual British and Dutch citizenship but I am probably wrong.

She does bitch about the Mexicans comin' into our country and getting healthcare and stuff...doesnt see the irony.

There's a reason my wife graduated high school then moved 1500 miles away the following week.

I need to look into getting dual citizenship, here and a first world country.
