NHL 2021: I Pledge Allegiance to Gritty

Good thing they have a 9 game home stand next month.

Hopefully that works.

Swoon is in season for the Minnesota Wild. The cracks that were always there are rearing their ugly heads.

There he is!

No, man, I feel you but this isn't fair. Let them volunteer their opinion. Don't go out of our way to **** them. Did the press run around asking American athletes what they thought about Bombs over Baghdad?

We're there Iraqi athletes participating in US sports at the time?

I'm a little hazy on it, but I thought I recall Serbian NBA stars being asked about their homeland in the '90s.

And i'm pretty sure Afghani athletes were asked about their homeland too.


Not asking Ovechkin about Putin sounds about white.

Yes that's it. I am sure I am applying a racial double standard. That sounds just like me.

This is Ovechkin’s Instagram profile picture: **** him.

Well, he knows a little something about poor decisions where you wind up someplace you don't belong.

But enough about St. Louis…

Widespread support for removing Russia from IIHF events.

The Swiss suddenly not being so neutral on this.

The Swiss suddenly not being so neutral on this.

If the Swiss froze Russian assets that might really **** the oligarchs hard (although I get the impression they primarily launder their plunder through London and the Dumps).

Wings and Leafs might as well have played with six skaters last night.

Toronto went up 6-1 and then 7-2 at the end of the second period. To open the third the Wings scored four straight to make it 7-6 Toronto, then the teams traded goals to make it 8-7 Toronto before the Leafs added a couple to win 10-7. Puts that game in a very big tie at 11th for goals in a game and it was the most goals since the Jets and Flyers also got 17 in 2011.

Dinamo Riga is following Jokerit and withdrawing from the KHL.

And don't look now, but Martin St Louis now has the Canadiens on a five game win streak. With that they've now moved a point ahead of Arizona and are no longer worst in the league. The Coyotes very well may finish last in the league and follow it up by moving into a 3800-5000 seat arena.
