**Official 2019/20 NHL Season Thread*** (*******s Welcome)

nhl really needs to learn how to do virtue signalling better.

- no response during afternoon game
- has a moment of reflection with an "end racism" graphic during the night game
- cancels games when they face backlash for lack of response

basically the formula for pissing everyone off.

i already wasn't watching the playoffs beyond the play-ins but i'm certainly done now

Must have been worried all their advertisers like Dunkin Donuts, AT&T and...wait I think that the only 2 advertisers they have. It's all they seem to play during the games, every commercial break.

Pastas feelings are hurt.

I'm never watching the NHL ever again. Not kidding. Just unfollowed every pro sports related account on every social media. Enjoy your child raping, domestic abuse fighting the cops Marxist apologist league. Later everyone.

[VTheKing]

In terms of inconvenience this is less bothersome than a stubbed toe, but really... I'm pretty sure the US doesn't need mostly Canadian and European rubber-slappers to forcefully raise awareness about something that has dominated headlines and triggered nationwide protests for months. It's like laggards trying to capitalize on trends.

One more day for Tyler Myers to recover though, so hey!

[havoc00]

Done with this sport

[NMH]

Done as well, golf is the only thing left.

[luckyboy23]

Hockey, of all sports.. How do you fellow Canadians feel about this? Truly.

[441Forty]

I support the NHL and its players boycotting 62% of african-americans being born into single-parent homes. I think it’s great that they’re boycotting to raise awareness of the importance of the family unit in these communities

Strong work by the NHL to increase discussion of the necessity of personal responsibility by postponing playoff games for an evening

I'm done too. Pathetic as fuk. What a bunch of clowns. Only MMA remaining now.

[r0bo]

Lmao at all the soft cucks not watching a sport due to a protest

[devin45k]

I'm done too. Pathetic as fuk. What a bunch of clowns. Only MMA remaining now.

1 on 1 sports are basically the only things that'll remain untouched. Especially when gambling is involved.

Lol but without sports you’re left with nothing

[OptimistPrime11]

Lol but without sports you’re left with nothing

I used to think that. Now all I watch is the PGA tour and I don't miss baseball, hockey, or bball at all.

Football will be harder but I won't watch that or support it either.

[SSM12]

Any of you guys into SIM games? been playing Fantasy Hockey Manager 6 for a while. 7 will be out soon. Pretty fun game and extremely in depth.

I also heard nhl 21 beta was supposed to be out today but the protests pushed it back too. Not sure how true that is though.

[meep316]

I'll still play hockey, I have other things I can do. I'm just done with watching. I hope you're all actually as serious as I am about this, I'm really not kidding, I'm done. It's one thing to just pander, this is a whole other level entirely. Cancelling games for a justified shooting because a domestic terrorist organization has America dancing like puppets at gunpoint. Get the actual fukk out of my face with that chit. Kyle Rittenhouse did nothing wrong.

Eastside Hockey Manager is the GOAT if you're autistic about it.

Played it when it came out. This game is from the same guys they just have financial backing now.

Maybe I am on the spectrum, I enjoy this game more than the console video game **** and I’m largely not in control lol

I may be out of the loop here, I thought EHM were from the same guys as Football Manager? Whereas FHM is from some other guys who also make baseball sims.

amen brah. Hope other brahs in here are also serious about shutting off hockey for good.

Seems I have this on Steam and never played it lol

You may be right. I thought it was the same and years ago they joined that company. I’ve been playing fhm since it was released years ago and I just thought it was from the ehm guys cause they never released an updated game.

Cadetduke, its worth a play. Pretty realistic but Tanks shoulder probably isn’t as bad in the game.

[VTheKing]

Vasilevsky turning up a notch, and we all wondering whether Rask would be doing any better than Halak...

[441Forty]

I feel like this “2 days of reflection” really killed off any interest I had in the postseason

It’s not even a response to it, but prior to the postponed games my interest was definitely less than other years, already waning. Games are back today and I can’t say I’m excited

It might be the Yotes losing draft picks, their owner coming out and saying Tochhet him fuking self will be a big part in choosing the next gm, or just the very chitty outlook for both AZ and the Leafs

Won’t ever give up sticktimes or the occasional beer league though

I can't say I'm not enjoying it but the games for the most part haven't been as dramatic

As an Avs fan who should be the most excited I’ve been in over a decade, I hardly care now.

Knights skating circles around the Canucks again... fak.

[VTheKing]

that was hopeless, like Game 1. only more concerning because it seemed like the defense couldn't keep up at all outside of Hughes and Edler, not good when the rookie who doesn't even PK has to log 26 minutes... the PP could've been a spark but Miller and Boeser struggled a lot this game sadly.

and Roussel thrown out for no reason for good measure

wonder who comes out more tired tomorrow.

FWIW Lehner had a good game last night it's not like they weren't getting shots at him

[RThoe]

Well back from my ban after a leftist cried to the mods.

I'll still play hockey, I have other things I can do. I'm just done with watching. I hope you're all actually as serious as I am about this, I'm really not kidding, I'm done.

Alpha af.

I watched EVERY game up until the two cancelled days. Even the early games I had streaming at work and was listening to them and would tune in when something happened.

I did not watch a single game yesterday after they resumed following the cancelled days. I will not be watching today. I am pretty set on not watching another game for the rest of the playoffs as well.

These left wing extremist Marxists must be crushed. One way to do that is hurt them financially, and lower ratings following their virtue signaling bullchit is the first step.

Blake deserved every bullet he got.
