Hate the sin love the sinner?

Old dog chiming in ... Okay a bit confused why it's an all or nothing situation with the NHL. If players have a religious or other reason to not wear the jersey why can't the others wear the jersey? If you feel strong enough about it both sides should respect each other's opinion. People can eventually change their attitude but you can't force them to. Try to force me to do something and I am going to push back and we get nowhere other than we both are more frustrated. We had multiple pride events at work during pride month last year. I didn't require my entire team to attend the events nor could I. Some did some didn't those that didn't oh well you missed out. From this link https://recognizeapp.com/cms/articles/celebraiting-pride-month-in-the-workplace "Do not force employees to participate While Pride is about inclusion and togetherness, it’s essential to respect all team members’ feelings and beliefs. Forcing participation can be counterintuitive to the cause. Some employees may come from cultural backgrounds or carry religious beliefs that conflict with Pride. Some employees may be private and prefer to keep their home and work lives separate, and for some, love life and sexuality is personal. Forcing those employees to participate will make them feel uncomfortable, and they might even blame the *** employees of the workplace for that." I would rather the NHL donate $$ to the Trevor Project or similar. Holding a one night pride night is meh vs trying to engage on a more consistent basis. IMHO It's like telling your wife you love her only on Valentine's day vs the entire year.

Parade Planning commencing

Always thought of them as a retail supplier of uniforms. But based on this article they are doing other leagues uniforms already https://abcnews.go.com/Sports/fanatics-replacing-adidas-nhls-official-uniform-partner/story?id=98008024

We have a date to get a lot of praying to whatever deity you believe in to get number 1 pick https://www.nhl.com/news/2023-nhl-draft-lottery-to-be-held-may-8/c-342268574

Call me pessimistic but with our history with the lottery I don't see us getting Bedard. Although if we get say a top 3 pick its almost as good as getting Bedard lots of talent in that top 10. I am on the fence with the Islander's pick @ 13 or higher this year or maybe they implode next year and we get another chance at a higher end pick.

U2 almost as overrated as Zadina

Speaking of teztees....

If it's an ACL a roster spot just opened up for perhaps a Mr Söderblom?

Aaah ...so both callups for at least 1 game and they both must play cause Cossa could get called up and sit the bench. By the way I believe in this Bets are debts of honor....

So this a double or nothing style bet?

When Chuck no longer tweets then we know the answer to the first statement

I need moment of alone time for that ....

Beginning in 2021, only two draws will be held for the first two selections. Starting with the 2022 lottery; the teams winning one of the two lotteries will only be allowed to move up a maximum of ten spots in the draft order and teams will only be allowed to win the lottery twice in a five year period.

Islander pick at the best is 12...due to protection

dropped from 12 to 10 after yesterdays loss https://www.tankathon.com/nhl/mock_draft I think tankathon will be my new ticker vs NASDAQ

all good my sarcasm didn't translate .....

God forbid I mistype before my 2nd cup of coffee....BEDARD...still going to be pissed?

So heading into the next 2 years we have the following picks 2023. 2024 2 1st unless the Islanders slip big. 2 1sts dependent on where Boston falls to in 2024 3 2nd 1 2nd, 3rd 1 3rd's 2 4th 2 4th's 1 5,6,7 1 in 5,6,7 Correct me if I am wrong but this year's draft is deeeeep. We are currently sitting 10th from bottom so have a chance @ #1(A guy can dream but we know the midget will f us over). Plus potential for the Islanders pick to be a top 20 this year. Worst case we could get 3 1sts in 2024. Could this be our 1989 draft redux ....Lids @ 53, Federov @ 74, Vald @ 221? So with a red tint on the glasses we could see Bernard BEDARD@ 1 , XX @12, XXX in 2nd, XXXX in 2nd, XXXXX in 2nd. PLUS the ones coming out of AHL trying to win a job I know I have my red tinted glasses on but I am feeling optimistic for the first time since the Ottawa debacle.

hold your money till the right time ..... buying a car to just buy a car vs waiting to get the car you REALLY want type scenario

I love the drive and not give up ... I know I said I was off the hype train. But your stubborn refusal to fold in the face of odds stacked against the team. Well son it has convinced me to JOIN YOU on this fool's errand. WC 1 or 2 or BUST!!!

This is funny

So ..hey Bert going to send you to Boston gain some playoff experience then lets talk in July....LOL
