I don't know my dude, if you don't want hockey to be a better place, where gay, straight, Black, Native, Asian, etc feel safe playing just say it. Say "I prefer straight white dude hockey" and get off my timeline.
It's very strange to think there's a human inside Gritty. Like, it's just a suit? A man takes it off at the end of the day and goes home to his family? WILD

The Blue Jackets intend to name Mike Babcock as their new head coach once his contract with the Maple Leafs expires at the end of this month, Sportsnet can confirm.
Pierre McGuire was talking live to the Rangers’ Michael Nylander, whom he used to coach, and asked him why he seemed to be having so much fun. Said Nylander, on-air live: “Because I don’t have to take shit from you anymore.”
In Dallas, Jagr got his 1000th assist, so the board was saying "Congrats on 1000!" Eric Nystrom asked "Do you have 1,000 points now?!?" and Jagr said "I had 1,000 points 10 years ago. That’s assists."
I propose the following changes to hockey broadcasts:
1. When you say "game starts at 7" actually mean it
2. No more in game interviews, no one cares about cliches
3. Please let the players have personality and don't be weirdos about it
4. No more "can you talk about"
Did you know there's more to the Gretzky 100% quote?
“The day I stop giving is the day I stop receiving. The day I stop learning is the day I stop growing. You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.” – Wayne Gretzky
During Red Wings training camp, Sergei Fedorov goes to Shawn Burr.
"I need love."
"Uhh, can't help you."
"Please, I need love."
With the help of a pocket dictionary and the trainer, it turned out Sergei needed gloves
I hate that the NHL is pushing betting odds on screen in game. It's not enough to have an official betting partner, to shill for betting by the pxp team, during the intermission and a million sports betting ads. Enough already.
If my math is right, the engravings for 1953-54 through 1964-65 are being hoisted for the last time. A final hurrah for Howe and the Rocket and many others.
"I played my first hockey game when I was 3 years old and I scored 10 goals, but that’s not the point ‘cause I scored 5 goals in my own net and 5 in the other. My mom had to sit behind the opponent’s net so I knew where to score."

In 1959, Red Wings held Gordie Howe Night & flew his parents in as a surprise--the 1st time in his 13 yr NHL career his dad saw him play. The team surprised Gordie with a new car -- and his parents sitting in it.

prospect Howie Meeker was injured so badly in WWII training accident that doctors said he might never walk. He won Calder in 1946 and won the Stanley Cup 3 times.

Hi everyone, you may have noticed I stopped posting here. It was going to be temporary, but I've made the decision to make it permanent.
I've been doing this for about 13 years and while I have had some great memories and met great people, this hasn't been fun for a while. 1/2
Officially rejected for the NHL archive job.
Here endenth my attempts to get a league job. I'm getting too old and after 13 years and several attempts, it's time to hang up my keyboard. It's not like they ever noticed me to begin with.

Don Cherry once owned the Mississauga Ice Dogs and refused to allow import players. He sold the team after their 4th season, with a record of 27 wins, 222 losses, 17 ties and 8 OT losses

If you say "what would Jesus do" and in order to answer you have to do some mental gymnastics to make "wwjd" into "what I want to do" you're not religious, you're just a hypocrite

There is nothing that makes Hockey Men Big Mad like pointing out making the NHL is not a straight up meritocracy. It takes skill to make the bigs but it also requires a hefty dose of money. How many poor kids are even making it to bantam level anymore?
Do you think about that time the Sabres were booked in the same hotel as a furry convention and one of them was wearing Ryan Miller's brother's jersey or are you normal?
