I would also add... keep politics out of the broadcasts. I tune in for hockey, not lectures on wokeness.
With an attitude like that, @Aesa, you need some serious woke-ing laid down upon you. ;)
Well, like my buddy Yosemite Sam says... "I don't think so". :mrgreen:

Tage Thompson still plays hockey? Oh, and NHLTIM called - he has cancelled your Knowledgeable Hockey Fan membership.
Damn! I don't think TIM is a big cancel guy though, haha.

That’s for sure. I will admit I can’t stand Tage Thompson. Also because of Tage...I actually can’t stand his brother now either. They can both be cancelled and I wouldn’t care....and Zach Sanford can join them.

Scott Stevens to this day has remorse for the hit on Lindros, his most famous hit. A hit at that time that was 100% legal and drew no penalty. He played physical and tough and in that day and age, he played the right way and was not a dirty player. I believe he only faced two very short suspensions in his entire career. When I think of dirty players from that era, guys like Bryan Marchment come to mind.

This one is stupid. It's a tiny clip that removes the previous crucial context. He was obviously calling Bieksa drunk, nothing insensitive about this one. Ron issuing the statement right away is as much about pointing out the obvious context that was removed from the clip that made the rounds. I think this will be a non-issue long term.

the more the league panders to über-woke nonsense, the less i am interested in supporting. hope they get their shit together real fucking soon.
hmmm, interesting. Is it the league or the networks? It feels like the networks are hyper-sensitive to everything in that even before there is any actual outrage, they try to get in front of everything and end up drawing attention to it themselves.
