Problem solved

Marco "No Skill" Kasper with a faceoff win and SICK assist through a defender's legs for a goal yesterday. This dude is such a boss.

What? You are too young to have witnessed it, but vets were absolutely discriminated against who came home from the Vietnam War. And the way the VA cares for veterans now is tantamount to the same thing. And if a player refused to wear a military jersey or one honoring Cops, the league would not do anything, and the wokies would hypocritically applaud their"courage". Also, the alphabet community is not oppressed. They have the same civil rights and government protections as any other group. And it's not about "equality" or "acceptance" anymore either. That already exists. It goes beyond that. It's about cramming an ideology down the throats of others, and chastising those that don't embrace it.

I knew what you meant, but I'm not sure you know what I mean. Pride night/parades/parties/initiatives/etc. aren't aimed at "changing anyone's minds". They're not for people that steadfastly believe homosexuality is a sin. They're for everyone else. It's about recognizing that these people exist, that they're members of our communities, that they're welcome and supported...because historically they haven't been. Nobody gives a sh*t about some fan sitting at home on pride night raging against the "LGBTQ Agenda" or whatever.

There's a comedian, can't remember which one, that has a bit about this. Something like, everyone in the country is either a "r*tard" or a "p*ssy". Maybe making people declare which team they're on is the solution.

Cossa is right where he should be and is developing awesomely. He'll be in GR next season and depending on how he plays he'll be considered for a call up in the event of injuries. I have no problem with anything SY and company have done vis-a-vis Cossa. Many folks around here said "just wait until he gets some professional coaching" and it's starting to look like they were right. Better coaches and lots of reps and he's now dominating a professional men's league and he just turned 20 years old a few months ago. This is absolutely a win for the organization and it's clear that management isn't going to mishandle the guy at this point.

99.9% of us aren't military or police either, but the league will happily put on nights celebrating those people with special jerseys during warmups. But of course, a subset of players are too big of snowflakes to put on a rainbow jersey for warmups to show that the league is supposed to be inclusive of all walks of life.

Interesting story about how the wings have turned a trade into a stack of prospects and picks. https://thehockeywriters.com/red-wings-mirco-mueller-trade-tree/
