How long do you want to ignore this user?
For a league where the U.S. citizens are in the minority, they sure are patriotic.
The real test will be if they bend the knee when the SJWs start to complain. I hope they don't as hockey is my favorite pro sport.
Man, it's sad that this has become the exception rather than the norm. It's an upside down world.
Maybe there is hope for the NHL...
Standing for the anthem is now "stunning".
I think my heart just broke again.

Mando, let me know what the play
Hockey is RACIST.
So what is this hockey? Sounds like something worth watching

Amen. He gets it. But then, he has a son on his third tour in AfghanistanQuote:
We are playing hockey," Tortorella said. "Other people are doing real stuff. This gentleman who spoke to us this morning is doing the real stuff. Life and death. We just want to give to our country in our own little way. Quite honestly we are entertainers. What this man talked about in our locker room and what he does casts a huge shadow over us as far as what we're doing."
"Stunning" show of patriotism? That's how you know you're ****ed.
Anyone else old enough to remember how USA Hockey beating the Russians was the catalyst for curing ourselves of the Jimmy Carter disease?
i was playing pin ball at the arcade at Fort Rucker with the tv on the olympics, we all went nuts....CanyonAg77 said:

One of my earliest sports memories. I mostly remember how excited my dad was. It was kind of one of those stereotypical father/son sports bonding moments.CanyonAg77 said:

Yep. 1980 -- 16 years old. We were really down and out with the late 60's and 70's social upheaval, malaise, and on an apparent path to hell.CanyonAg77 said:

And then these renegade, amateur upstarts took down the equivalent of professional players from the vaunted Soviet Union. "The Miracle on Ice." A much needed shot in the arm.
Feels like we're on a similar path to hell now. Could use another uplifting moment of national unity.

Isn't that the damn truth! All the Canadians and Russians know what's up. So do the people risking death to sneak into our "oh-so-racist-horrible-oppressive" country. Ain't nobody trying to leave this country except the child molesters (talking to you Tom Hanks).
I don't remember but i had built up some credits....blindey said:what machine?ja86 said:i was playing pin ball at the arcade at Fort Rucker with the tv on the olympics, we all went nuts....CanyonAg77 said:

They'll probably take of their gloves and start throwing punches.

The man does not **** around
Respect...

Canadians.
From the head Canuck coach btw.Quote:
"This is what I know: I'm not going to have to make that decision because that's not going to happen," he said. "So I don't have to worry about that reaction. At that time I guess I would decide what to do. One of the greatest things about this tournament is that most of us get to play for your country, and that's a thrill of a lifetime in itself. And then when you get to do it on Canadian soil, that's another thrill.
"For those of us who have the life we have, and the freedom we have, to repay respects to the people who went before us and made sure that happened; I mean, it's pretty straightforward and common sense to me. But I don't know why we're talking about this."
Wow... You guys aren't dissing Canadians. This is a rare moment.
Fighting in hockey is the key. The fact that there is always the threat of getting beat up forces a different level of respect.
In all things hockey being a good guy, being respectful is ingrained. The minute you disrespect the coach, a teammate or say you hit a woman, there's a good chance you're getting your ass kicked the minute you walk in the locker room by your own teammates. If not then, definitely in practice. Depending on the offence you might have to fight several times and them come game time you're going against the other teams heavyweight with zero help. If you buckle, you're gone. If you take it like a man, apologize and correct your behaviour you can restore your standing is restored. Keep making the same mistake and your gone.
Even the toughest *******s can't beat up an entire team. They'll send 5 guys to tune you up. If you don't learn to be humble in that environment YOU GONE.

Basketball needs to more like hockey.
As little boys as young as 6 and 7 yrs old kids dress up to go to the rink. A very significant number is suits and ties like the pros. To a huge extent parents use hockey as a discipline tool. You'll very rarely see a head hockey coach that doesn't demand 100% respect for everyone 100% of the time.
Once the players hit the ice they can be as assholish as they want to each other. Often the bigger the ******* the better the player but there are built in remedies For that. Its part of the game.

My first thought was "Which country's anthem?".RAB91 said:
