Want to give a huge thank-you to @BraydonHolmyard at The Toronto Star for giving me the platform to write this.
In the wake of Mike Milbury calling women a disruption, my thoughts on just how exhausting that stuff can be:
I keep thinking about how many resources the NHL threw into investigating the Arizona Coyotes for a draft scouting violation, how openly they talked about seeing the investigation through, and how severe the punishment was.
Imagine if we were seeing that with the Blackhawks.
Idk who needs to hear this, but saying “there aren’t even any women here to disrupt things” when talking about the pros of hockey in the bubble is just gnarly gross shit.
There is a difference between people personally wanting to return to an office setting and people mandating that everyone cease working from home, friend!
We keep asking what it takes to get homophobia out of sports, and I think Landon Donovan’s decision to just end a match mid-game because of what happened tonight vs. Phoenix Rising is a pretty good example of the steps that have to be taken.
Happy NHL Trade Deadline Month! Rules to remember:
-If there's no blue checkmark be wary
-check handle spellings for PeireLeBroons and DarrenDergers
-check the dates, ya dummies
-If it's a trade made by the Oilers and they won it, double check all of the above
Happy February!
Carter Hart. Corey Crawford. Darcy Kuemper. Jacob Markstrom. Cam Talbot. Joonas Korpisalo. God, have we ever gotten a gift with the playoff goaltending so far this summer.
