We all know that hockey players are never going to pull a Kaepernick.

Hockey players have nowhere near the egos that NBA or NFL players do, but I wouldn't put it past somebody wanting to make a statement. I didn't think it'd go outside Kaepernick and a few followers in the NFL. Then Megan Rapinoe did it.

Wouldn't that be Stu Bickel whose bones would just be sitting in a pile shrouded by a Rangers jersey and other assorted hockey equipment dried to the bench? Or was that AV who said "Go play your one shift and then sit (points) right down there."?

Shootout wins a slightly bullshit but but it's still 2 points for winning the game.

It's the magically appearing loser point that fucks up the .500 concept.

Yeah, when it comes to hockey math, the only place a shootout win counts differently than any other win is in tiebreakers when ROW comes into play. Beyond that, "points is points".

It has nothing to do with patriotism. It's racism disguised as patriotism and it doesn't really apply to a 99% white sport like hockey.

He had that hit on Pominville (I think, was against the Sabres) in 2010 that he was suspended for. Hit last night was pretty bad so he'll get suspended for a preseason game or two not that it will matter at all.

I don't even give a poo poo if Kapernick had the slightest bit of ego motivating him. The guy has a position that gives him a voice and he's using it to draw attention to a major crisis. Tort's interview was one of the worst things I ever saw and my blood was loving boiling after it. Him saying it was disrespectful to military families whose lives are turned upside down by war is absurd. As opposed to the black families whose lives are turned upside down because their children are killed in their own communities. It's disrespectful to them to unquestioningly support a government that has exacerbated the existing problem of police racism by selling surplus military gear to the departments. gently caress Tortorella and frankly anyone who thinks people shouldn't be using their opportunities to speak out because of something as trivial as a goddamn sport.

Not to mention that hockey is a very expensive sport to play, so those white players tend to come from fairly affluent backgrounds and wouldn't normally even be associating with people from those disenfranchised areas like a poorer white basketball/football/baseball player might.

You need to look no further than the way a lot of hockey fans reacted to and interacted with Tony X to see that most of them probably agree with Torts.

Wait, isn't that the wrong pluralization? Shouldn't it be 'Heart and Drive LIVE here'? I though lives is for a single third person objects like 'He lives here' and live are for plural object like 'They live there' or 'A dog and a cat live there' . Or is this just a play on the fact that they can't properly pluralize leaves?

If both teams refuse to play the puck. Usually occurs if one team is on the PK and the other team just committed some kind of next touch violation, like a high stick or hand pass.

It's usually a stoppage and face-off though, I didn't know it could be a penalty.



Edit: There can be a penalty for refusing to start play quick enough after a stoppage. But more likely the box score guy hit the wrong button because that doesn't seem likely.

Standing there without moving the puck or leaving it in a corner with out skating to it to run time off the clock. You have to keep the puck in continuous play.
