Jiji Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 Plus, it's not like hockey players are known to have any political leanings other than mostly being farm boys of privilege and Ken Dryden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Death From Above Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 I'm actually happy in this case that hockey is more or less off the radar in the US, because the optics of the sport thought of as the "rich white sport" (regardless of my own disdain for America projecting its shit onto everyone) having the USA coach behaving this way is incredibly bad. It's so tone deaf to what the issues were, and on top of that it smells more than a little of small time publicity stunt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odessasteps Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 Wait until we hear from Don on this. torts will sound like a Berkeley liberal compared to Grapes. They made an interesting point on this on 590. even someone progressive on social issues like Burke took a hardline stance on the anthem thing.

Death From Above Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 Burke is a really interesting guy. Sometimes he can be incredibly childish (still challenging other management people to fights), but he's also at times been incredibly progressive and the kind of support he's given his son Patrick and the whole You Can Play movement is very commendable. His kids all seem like stand up people, at least based on what we see of them through social media, so he must have done something right. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dolfan in NYC Posted January 30, 2019 Author Share Posted January 30, 2019 For the record, having been to Denver, I am a fan of Mr. Dogg's products. In other news, Austin Watson has been suspended indefinitely by the NHL for "ongoing issues with alcohol abuse." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You think people in the NFL union are pissed off right now knowing the kind of shit they get into for weed Well there is. Cocaine use is rare in the NHL. The NHL policy is to give a player with a hard drug problem a leave and put them into a treatment facility and they will be reinstated if they complete the program. The former punishment used to be for a full year suspension. Grant Fuhr and Don Murdoch I think were the only ones that got nailed on that one Edited September 4, 2019 by Serious Darius Bagfelt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hammerva Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 (edited) As a non-Canadian I never got how Cherry was still around. His hockey knowledge kind of hit a wall about 10 years ago and he became most gimmick. I mean I guess he is their Archie Bunker in that he is supposedly everyone favorite bigot but eventually you have to put grandpa in the corner Edited November 11, 2019 by hammerva Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm... maybe like the bastard lovechild of Vitale and Walt Frazier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odessasteps Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 I always figured Don was hockey's Boyd Pierce or Paul Boesch. Although maybe Ernie Roth might be more appropriate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sabremike Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 I find this to be every bit as contemptible as the time another outrage mob ran Bill Maher off the air for wrongthink, or for that matter anytime anyone anywhere on the political spectrum has been taken down by an outrage mob.
