The NHL is joke. Fanatics is a horrible choice.

Guess I won't be buying any more NHL merch after the 2023-24 season.

Fanatics is trash. Guess it makes the NHL would go this way.

Gross.

If reports are true, Khadri and Huberdeau putting heat on Sutter for their woes this year.

As I don't follow the Flames I'm wondering if they are also sharing some of the responsibility for the Flames underperforming or do they believe they've exhausted what they can do based on the ice time they've received and the schemes and strategies laid out by the coaching staff?

As a fellow long-suffering Flyers fan, I concur with his reasoning as well.

The Staal brothers disagree with you.

And they have the right to refuse, just like Colin Kaepernick had the right to take a knee, but it is weak to send out a “statement” through the team’s PR guy, citing a nebulous “we support inclusivity but we refuse to wear a symbol of this inclusivity because of “our religious beliefs”, and will take no further questions on this, thank you”. 

If you have such conviction, stand by it. Explain what in your beliefs specifically makes you reject homosexuality, how the Pride jersey is an endorsement of that specifically, rather than just a symbol of support and inclusion for a marginalized and historically oppressed group regardless of your sexual preferences. And don’t hide behind copy written by/for a PR flunkie who has to deliver your message for you. No further comment does not cut it here.

Difference being Kaepernick is genuine in his belief... the Staals (Eric in particular) are not.   He's a lying sack of s**t.

would be cool to see them move to Quebec city.   That would be awesome to rekindle that Canadiens Nordiques rivalry.

Ahhhh, no.

Bettman will move them to a local rink while telling Calgary they better get a new arena or face relocation.

Probably not evident here but I'm not a huge fan of Bettman.
