Can't be too mad at an OTL after being down 5-2. Hughes blew a tire in OT and that was that.

For me they are on at 10am for western games and 7am for eastern, so I can catch most of them as I do my morning stuff. Losing DST kind of sucks.
I wish it was more active here, because this team is really quite fun to watch. The games are fast and usually high scoring, and the players are pretty likeable now that guys like Jake Virtanen are gone, and OEL being out seems to have helped. Even JT Miller is coming across a lot better. I don't hear him bitching at himself or teammates anymore.
I know the games "don't matter" but it's still pretty entertaining.
I still hope they sell the team or wipe out the management, but the actual players are all pretty great. If you're skipping games, you're missing out on Pettersson coming into his own as one of those rare superstars you'll ever get on a team. Bure, Naslund, Sedins, Pettersson.

I remember I went to Beijing and Hong the year we went to the cup and caught a Dan Jose game in Beijing at some bar I found online that played NHL games. Upon researching for my Hong Kong leg there wasn't much I found except for Manchester Bar in TST which worked cause that's where I stayed. Caught the clinching game one morning there but not many people maybe a few tables.

There is (or was) a Canucks bar though, in LKF. My friend would go there

I only got time for highlights and I honest don't really want to commit any more time into this team with the way how they've been continually missing playoffs...
but those 10 min highlights are pretty entertaining. It's like watching a super condensed game and I have no idea what happened in the game prior to watching.

Hilarious, I remember that dude got gaslight by some alt shit site that made him think they would have male strippers pretending to give birth in front of kids.
And HE complained about kids being "recruited"
(ok that's it for this topic from me in this thread)

^ that was the reason Chicago Blackhawks gave to not do the pride jersey ... threat for the Russian players. Yah, let' see if that was just smoke or it's a real political concern for Russian players.

I keep getting these showing up on my Facebook feed. "Another player isn't going to wear the pride warm up jersey  "
Who fucking cares what a hockey player chooses to do, would you rather them just be forced to wear it or something?
The media tries to make something out of nothing.

The media tries to make something out of nothing. | Because if you don’t share the same beliefs as others you’re a POS biggot!
Someone like Kuzmenko is in a complete lose lose situation here regardless of what he thinks. He wears it, he’s gonna get asked whether his family etc. is in danger as was the assumption with the Blackhawk Russians. If he doesn’t he’s gonna get shit on

The media tries to make something out of nothing. | Not sure how we have gotten to the point where wearing a shirt means more than the actual actions or words of a player (and no, wearing a corporate warm-up jersey does not represent taking action). If someone doesn't wear an orange t-shirt on National truth & reconciliation day, does it mean that they don't give a shit about Canada's history and the residential school system? If someone doesn't wear a pink shirt on anti-bullying day, does it mean they are pro-bullying?
But the worst part in all of this is the hypocrisy. All this focus is on the players, but what about the fans themselves? Labeling a player for not wearing a pride jersey as a bigot is one thing, but is the fan wearing a pride shirt?

LOL at News 1130. "The Canucks most likely not getting Bedard, and they aren't going to make it into the playoffs, which is a good thing, because all they have left to play for is "Pride." Good thing it's Pride Night."
Something to that effect..............

I wonder if the Canucks have the most theme night games out of all the NHL teams.
Chinese New Year, Diwali, First Nations Celebration, Black History Month, St. Patrick's Day, Pride Night, etc.
All these theme night games in order for Aquaman to squeeze more money from fans.

There shouldn't be any "special" nights. These corporations could give a flying fuck about any of these initiatives, it's merely a means to sell apparel, tickets, and satisfy ESG requirements for their investors.
We're better off scrubbing it all out entirely. What's the point of having some hick hockey player from Moncton wear a pride jersey meanwhile he's prob dropping the word fag left right and center during practice 
Enough of this fake virtue signaling garbage.
I hated it when the NHL was doing the BLM stuff a few years back too. The players don't care, black players are still called nigger especially in smaller markets, and fans still throw banana peels onto the ice and all that crap.
Let's not pretend that throwing a jersey on some guy that cares nothing about the subject changes anything.

Ironically the native stuff is probably the most legitimate when it comes to the Canucks and not in that the aqualinis actually care, but they do a shit tonne of business deals with native bands so they are just scratching each others backs on those nights lol
The mute button gets pressed real quick on the land acknowledgment.
