Getting ready to do my job today knowing it drives losers like this crazy is giving me life #barkbark.
This tweet upset some folks, so let me clarify:. No one wants to listen to 3 women talk football. Men are better at it— it’s like asking cats to bark. I issue no apology and no retracts. Most people agree with me, they’re just afraid to say it. Carry on with your outrage.

Tortorella opens his availability with a statement: Says “he can’t get over people ripping Sheldon Keefe and his staff. Some of the things I saw and read last night…some of the things he’s criticized for are beyond me. “I want to support him and his staff.” #CBJ #LeafsForever.

Kakko said he felt freer to play with #Seakraken in part because they told him it was ok to make mistakes - they happen and that led to him feeling more comfortable making plays.

Dan Bylsma was asked about posing for pics in tonight's Pride jersey. something not widely seen among NHL head coaches. this was his answer #SeaKraken:
Now THESE are jerseys 😍👏. Designed by local illustrator Kelly Bjork & depicting a world of tenderness, acceptance, & vulnerability, these threads will be available in Monday’s @OneRoofFdn Anchor Auction with proceeds benefitting Lambert House.

Hamilton: “She extended my life. I’ve got a wonderful family, I’ve got a wonderful daughter…she extended my life. She saved my life. She didn’t take me out of a burning car like a big story but she took me out of a slow fire….she’s a hero.” #Canucks #SeaKraken.

The wrong player is having to stay off the ice here. Suspend Denyskin.
After being subjected to a racist gesture during a Ukrainian Hockey League game on Sunday, Jalen Smereck has announced he is taking a personal leave of absence "until Andrey Denyskin is suspended and removed from the league.".

#SeaKraken win 3-0. Extend win streak to seven as they hand Bruins their first regulation loss on home ice. It’s also the first time Boston has been shutout this season.

Also funny because many players already choose to put scripture references or religious symbols on their tape and that should be allowed TOO!.
actually the people replying to the Pride Tape reinstatement with “can players put crosses on their sticks now too” are extra funny to me acting like those are opposing ideas when the man who fought for Pride Tape has a giant ass cross tattooed on his chest

I don't know how you get through tonight, let alone play a hockey game. Sending love to the Blue Jackets family. (unsurprising but good to see Boone Jenner at morning skate, as well).

If saying people deserve equal rights is political, I’m sorry. I won’t stop.
@AlisonL i really like your NHL writing and seem like pleasant person. Your story about quitting your 9 to 5 for what makes you happy is inspirational. But why drag politics into your professional Twitter feed? It disturbs your otherwise great work.

1. I have been in a locker room with men. Played on a co-ed team. We won a beer league championship. It was cool. 2. Just because you’re a man doesn’t mean a woman wants to see you naked. Or wants you at all . ✌️.
@AlisonL So you can’t be naked in the locker room anymore? Seriously if you’ve been in a men’s locker room you would understand that there is always at least 2 naked guys at any given time. Wonder how the wives feel? Good for her though I’m just wondering this aloud.

So wait, he had a chance to write an apology letter to every single NHL team prior to the Draft, but was “unable” to reach out to the victim? I call BS.
Miller on the bullying victim: “I was unable to reach out to them after the incident, but I think eventually I will definitely reach out and obviously say I’m sorry for all the inconvenience I caused when we were 14 with their family and the child.”.
