Around the NHL — Episode XLXVI

[Big Muddy]

And then there are other's who bring it up out of the blue to start random culture wars on hockey forums

Why would anyone want to talk about hockey on a hockey forum?

 

[Tnuoc Alucard]

I think it was less a joke and more an attempt to rile up some culture war nonesense...

The poster suggested Mormons as the Utah nickname, and I responded with obvious reaction from progressive activists… in jest, but yes it would happen. ….. it’s not nonsense…. It’s reality.

 

[GCK]

Bullshit. There is a line between wackos wanting every single little thing changed or eliminated, and those that want to change some things that make sense.

First Nations groups have voiced for years that some of the names used were offensive. Hard to believe they could be upset, they only lost an estimated 50% of their population from the genocide during colonization.

As someone with First Nations heritage I have never had a problem with the Washington Redskins or Chicago Black hawks. I’m repulsed by the chants at Atlanta Braves and FLA St Seminole games. Yes the Cleland baseball team logo was the worst offence.

Aho and Svechnikov are made for the playoffs.

 

[Very Stable Genius]

Rags are going to choke this series away

Rags are going to choke this series away

Your goalie can only be perfect for so long.

 

[JungleBeat]

Andersen sucks in the clutch. Can't trust him, Rags will win this series.

 

[PlayOn]

Carolina’s had so many chances to put this thing away in the third and they keep missing. Would be a shame if the Rangers tie it up.

 

[Senscore]

Jordan Staal with a badly timed penalty

Jordan Staal with a badly timed penalty

Horribly soft at this time

 

[Senscore]

Rangers tie it. Surprise surprise

 

[StoicSensFan]

I feel a Zibby OT series winner coming

 

[BondraTime]

Going to be a chincy OT goal by someone like Cuylle

 

[StoicSensFan]

or not

 

[Very Stable Genius]

Ok fair play to the Rags

 

[Senscore]

Kreider with the hat trick puts the Rangers up 4-3 with 4 minutes left.


Carolina should be ashamed.

 

[Micklebot]

Oh my. Kreider with the hatty

 

[Senscore]

Andersen with an additional year on his deal and a NMC.

Gonna be awkward if this is his they go out

Thanks for the input. It's a shame some of these things continue. The Genocide of the FN people in NA is one of the greatest atrocities in human history. Personally, I just think the reality behind what happened (and has carried forward in so many ways) was so deplorable that if FN groups want change to these antiquated slogans/logos/names with a derogatory history, let them have it.

I was mostly looking to dispel the BS the other poster was spewing about how it's all the angry woke folk to blame. Maybe that's what got them to actually listen, but FN groups have advocated for change to a lot of these for ages.

Wow, the Canes blow it. Tough go, it was right there for them.

 

[Senscore]

Another golden opportunity wasted by Carolina

 

[Micklebot]

Pulling pretty early, will it cost them?

 

[Burrowsaurus]

These dump ins from Carolina have been atrocious. At least wait for your team to be going forward

 

[BonHoonLayneCornell]

Epic choke job

 

[Senscore]

Canes complete the collapse.

How embarrassing

 

[Micklebot]

It's over
